I have the 4 cav 170/150 brass HP mold.
The old group buy came through last year and I'm just finally working with it now.
The HP cavity is huge, the pentas look fun, and the solids look...

It's a sweet bullet. I really like it for my 45acp.
All the TC designs by are pretty good bullets imo. (9, 40,45 anyways, I'm not if they make more?)

My target BHN is 9-10 for all my handgun casting, 41 and 44 mag full power loads to 9mm, 40, 45 acp loads.
They all shoot great and no leading.

The grendel is a sweet little cartridge.
I bought that mold over a year ago and other casting and reloading projects/life..... have kept me from testing it out yet.
I even cast some up with...
True blue for me, (135gr cast RF).
Buddy got into reloading and he picked up silhouette. Works nicely as well.

I bought that mold last late spring curious shooter. I’ve cast with it and tried a generic load through my SBH hunter and Henry. It wasn’t the impressive “that’s the load!!” I hoped for but...

300blk fits in an AR and 30 30 doesn't.
Plus i think there's ALOT of guys who feel the age of a cartridge makes it obsolete, and "Fuddy". Basically back to it not being an AR so they can...

For what it's worth I'm using a BHN 9-10 alloy in my M&P 40 with a kkm conversion barrel, a RIA 9mm And a buddy's Canik and they all shoot great with 0.356 sized bullets.
WV do you have a lead...

I seen that and was just double checking. Maybe he mistyped since that's ALOT above what I had previously thought a max charge was.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Can you rephrase the question Mike? You have hardball and hardcast(?) you're working with? I'm not familiar with 051521 if that's an alloy.
Blue dot is what I use and is a great 10mm powder.

This is for the 7.62x39? Just to clarify..
I always thought around 16gr of 2400 with 150-160gr was a max load for this cartridge.

I'd just go after the one you shoot the most. Or the one that would save you the most money and allow you to shoot it more.
45 is such a big fat bullet that it's an easy cast and easy cartridge...

I tried a small ultrasonic cleaner years ago as an 'upgrade' to dry tumbling. It worked but was slow and batch size was small. Went a bought a bigger one with more powerful transducers. Batch...

21 or 22 is pretty hard.
15 is getting hard enough as well and won't do anything at 45 acp speeds.
10mm is a fun round though and deer hunting is the sole reason I bought one as well!

Murf,
No, I just have the solid PB version.
Only regret is getting the 2 cavity but options were limited when I bought this and my buddy isn't a high volume shooter with his Blackhawk maximum...
I bought this mold for a buddy's 357 max. I don't think he's worked with it at all yet... And I haven't taken the time to try it in my sp101 either.
But I do have a nice picture of the bullet!...
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
Good stuff, thanks for sharing. Looks like that's the mold to get them for this gun. I actually just got my barrel yesterday but wasn't expecting it until June so I still need a handguard. ...

If maybe its not the 311284, could it be a 311290?
The pictures of the bullet isn't super clear for me when I click on them.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I've done a fair amount of tumble lubed and lube sized, just not for the 9mm. PC probably takes me longer than running the lube sizer idk. But they're so much nicer and easier to store for me.
