Since I will soon have a .44-77 SBN I need to get up to speed. What dies are best? What is a good mold to get? I want to shoot mainly PPB but will also want to try a grease groove bullet. School me up on this round

The Lee 43 mauser dies work fine , you will need a compression die.
Brooks dual diameter sharps mould 1.29 inches long cast .435 diameter, cast it from 20-1 and wrap it in 8lb seth cole 55w.
75 grains OE 1.5

Thanks. Can you give me the specs on the bullet mold to order it from Brooks?

I think Don gave you the specs.

I was looking at the Brooks website and looks like it wants a lot more info to order one. I have never ordered from them so I wasn't sure.

You still need the diameter for the part that will enter the bore. And the nose radius, and meplat size, of applicable.

Ask him for the base of the nose at .432, and use the original postel nose.

Just to make sure, it is the Mauser dies and not Spanish?

.43 Mauser for GG bullets and .43 Spanish for bore diameter PP bullets.

Mauser dies.
