H&G 51 6 cav....

[Bull Shoals]

I just picked up a Hensely & Gibbs 6 cavity mold # 51 with handles. This is 158 gr SWC single grease groove .357 dia. Guy wanted $50.00 for it so I said OK. He has had it over 45 years and it was in very good shope. Brought it home and cleaned the oil off it w/carb cleaner and started casting straight WW's. NEVER have I had a mold that casts as fast as this one. Culls are around 1%. Only problem is the pot empties in a hurry, refilled it 3 times.

The pot, well he also had an old Saeco about the same age and he let it go for $20.00. Now I'm in "high cotton" and thinking about selling off some of the 2 cavity molds.

H&G 6cavity mold for $50.00?, I never pay more than $40.00 for them.

Really?? Moulds must be far cheaper in canada than they are here. Can't hadly get an iron 2 cavity for $40.00 anymore.

$50.00 for a 6 cavity in good shape is a steal and to many an H & G is worth even more.

Bull Shoals, welcome to the forum, you done good. :drinks:

You done good! The H&G #51 is one of my all-time favorite bullets. That 6-holer should serve you well for the rest of your life. Enjoy!

Wit and sarcasm are so hard to get across here on the interweb.... [smilie=f:

No sarcasm on my part, I was simply suprised to learn that moulds were so cheap in canada. :confused:

Probably something with the exchange rate....[smilie=1:

$50 for a H&G 6 banger? That's a deal I would do all day long (might feel guilty about it, though).
