picked up a Hensly & Gibbs 68.450 mold the other day at a yard sale for pennys on the dollar,had every intention of selling it and makeing a nice profit. But no, today I had to try casting with it,it is the four cav and it cast like a charmed mold. Now I do own a couple 45ACP's but have never gotten around to shooting them and don't even own reloading dies for the ACP but it looks like I might not only be loseing the profit I had planed on makeing on the sale of the mold but may end up spending more on dies, Brass ect.ect.....

Dennis that is the way it should be. You got a good deal on a nice mold use it and be happy. And remember it went to someone that could use it. So wear that puppy out lol. :)

Don't feel bad. Heck I've dies and cases and ammo for guns I don't even own. One of those "someday" things. Frank

I know the feeling. Jim at CBE sent me a new .303 Brit mould to evaluate lately. Cast with it, shot the bullets. didn't send it back.:violin:

That reminds me that I sold my 45 a couple of decades ago. Think I will buy a Glock just so I have an excuse to use that mould that I have had since the early 80's. I have always loved casting with that mould.
