Great on the 6.8, thanks....Now I get a lot of stuff on e-bay...I found it is good to try something before spending a lot on the top number 1 item... but for molds usually lee on e-bay if good to start, be careful though check lee's web site before putting in a bid some of those folks want new prices... I have never been disappointed on any mold gotten there...

I can see using cast for target shooting with hanguns but are they accurate enough for rifle loads? 1 moa at 100 yd's?

Yes, you can load very accurate rifle loads with cast bullets.
You'll have to keep the velocity lower than you would with jacketed bullets and you'll want to use cast bullets with gas check. Just keep everything consistant and pay attention to all the little details and you can develop very accurate loads. Keep good records of your load and results for future.

BTW. lead wheel weights containe traces of arsenic so be very careful with the fume from your pot.
