  • Catalog & Order Form Lead Bullet Technologies
    Lead Bullet Technologies F.I.G ENT., INC. 78592 Hwy 2 Moyie Springs, ID 83845 Catalog & Order Form LBT PREMIUM MOLDS LBT bullet designs are the most copied cast bullets in the world, because, when they are cast in molds manufactured by LBT they are the most accurate bullets available! However, copying the profile of an LBT bullet by cherrying or conventional lathe boring processes, as all other moldmakers do, does not result in molds or bullets that live up to LBT accuracy standards! You see, the heart of all molds, which is the cavities, are produced at LBT with a one of its kind, ultra precision, custom designed, custom built, reducing tracer lathe. This only machine in the world was engineered for the single purpose of producing molds with precision that no available machinery could match. - In the 23 years of its existence, no moldmaker or machine, or mold cutting method has come close to producing LBT quality! - Because of this, the advantages of purchasing your molds from LBT are: 1. Molds which drop their bullets easier then any other mold. 2. Bullets which are better balanced than can be produced in any other molds, because they are round and sound, or free of voids-which equals: 3. Accuracy that is untouchable by bullets from other manufactures molds, even if they have copied our superior designs! Not to mention the design features in LBT molds which ensure void free bullets, flat bases, and extra long service life. LBT sprue plates are designed to minimize the shrink voids and air pockets which unbalance bullets and destroy accuracy, and are equipped with spring hold downs at two points, which prevent the sprue plate from lifting off the mold and causing finned and out of square bases.

  • 2004 Product Catalog Ad Is Off Hunting in Canada Again, Searching for a Big Whitetail, So I’M Writing the Catalog Introduction D This Year
    2004 Product Catalog ad is off hunting in Canada again, searching for a big whitetail, so I’m writing the catalog introduction D this year. Boy have I got a surprise for him. I just arrowed a whopper buck from my tree stand right behind the house and I’ll have it to his favorite taxidermist (Hank Walker) by the time he gets home. For those reloaders who have not opened a Redding catalog recently, you’re going to find a lot of good stuff to whet your appetite…especially if you’re a little more particular about what you’re doing than the average Joe. There’s also Tech Talk, Pat Ryan always writes those…good information! Be sure to go to the website for more technical infor- mation too. Pat is also the man to call if you are thinking about any custom dies. Last year we got most of the finishing touches done in the production area of the new building expansion. There are all kinds of new CNC machines running now, making production more efficient and the products even better. There is still some work to do reorganizing the office area but production comes first. The biggest Redding news this year is the acquisition of Imperial Lubricants. Most reloaders already know all about Imperial Sizing Die Wax and how good it is. When I learned a little more about what was in it, I thought it would be a perfect anti-galling lubricant for the cam axles on my new bow. It also turned out to be a great bowstring wax and really quieted my bow down.
