My favorit boolits

[Sven Dufva]

This is my favorits in 357 mag and 38 spl. The weight is 150, 158, 180 grains moulds is made by Mimek. They are size to 358.
Alloy is pure lino for competision boolits. Lube is Carnuba red
The 180 grain boolit is extremly accurate.Groups less then 1.5" in 50 Yards is possible with good gun and proper load.

Sven ... I agree, those are good looking bullets. I also would like to hear more information about the company that produces the molds you have. Does this company have a web site?

Good looking bullets. Have you used those bullets on any animals? I noticed they are hollow points, would you attribute the accuracy to the hollow pointing or just the skill of the mold maker and the bullet caster?

Nice looking cast boolits.
I love to add lino to my ww mix when I can get my hands on it.

[Sven Dufva]

Mimek dont produce moulds any longer but a gunstore in Sweden is selling out rest of stock. If any body is intrested you can give me a message.

No they are not hollow points its only something with flash and reflektion from area where spruplate have cut the alloy.
I have in other treads write about mimek moulds i only think its funny to show how they look. I dont think its a lot of them around the world.

GP100 ... I see what you mean about needing an interpreter. I found thier site and could only figure out the pictures.

Nose pours ey?

Is your carnuba red from our very own Lar45?

Sven, wills:

That listing of number of cavities by caliber is the same as specified by Ideal back before 1900 for their monster "Armory" moulds. I couldn't track down an illustration of the MIMEK moulds on their website. Could you (Sven) post one? I'll try to upload a photo of the Ideal mould below.

Uh-oh! My aged memory let me down again. The Ideal "Armory" moulds went 6 cavities in .44 and .45, 7 for the .38's, 8 in .32 (and .30), and 9 in .22 - .25. It also dawned on me - from Sven's comment that the apparent HP's are actually marks from the sprue cutoff - that the MIMEK moulds are nose-pours. Sven, is the base cut into the blocks themselves, or is there a lower plate like the Pope and other double-plate moulds?

I hope i understand your questions right. I will take photo of my moulds but it can take same days.
Mimek have both top fill and bottom fill moulds i only use top fill, becuse i think if you do right you will have very nice base and that is importent for accuracy. But you must have mold and alloy pretty hot so they fill out proper.
0.44 moulds are 4 cavity
0.38 moulds are 5 cavity
I have tried to put an attachment but it is to big (175 kb) from mimek moulds.
I have also moulds from Saeco and i think quality from saco and mimek are the same.

Yes I read abaut carnuba red in this forum so I order from Lar45. Iam very pleasd with his service and i hope i can order more soon.
Its great lube.
I think nose pour ey is same as top fill.

Here comes some image of mimek mould.

[powderburnerr]

wouldnt it be nice if lee made moulds like that ?
...Dean

Sven:

That is a VERY handsome mould; thanks! As a nose-pour, it must have been cut with a cherry (I don't see how you could work a single-point tool through the small meplat flat), and even the cherry "stem" would be a bit fragile. A worthy example of Swedish machining skill.

I think lee make some fine moulds. I have 3moulds of lee they are 6 cavitys 358 dia. But aluminium moulds dont have a long life like iron moulds.

I no nothing about machining but the moulds work fine. Do you now other mould companies who have nose-pour moulds.

[Frank46]

Sven, I believe that richard Hock still makes nose pour molds as well as some othere who shootschutzen style. Paul Jones comes to mind and theyre may be others with which I am not familiar. Frank

Sven:

And Lyman's hollow-base moulds are nose-pours, but they are cherried from the bottom, through the base-plug opening. Lyman did make a short run on the Paul Matthews #457676 for the .45-70 as a nose-pour, but the long bullet left the mould bas pretty thin, and some casters have found it hard to keep the mould hot enough for good fill-out.
