Mehavey,
The Alexander Arms load data lists a stout load of H4198 for the 400gr Hawk bullet to get 1800 fps.
Would you be able to use QL to verify if this would be useful for these cast boolits? ...

In order to not take up anymore space on this thread, I am starting a new one for this boolit specifically with 300 BLK.
Can anyone comment if this should be done in group buy results, or one of...

For the powder coat, I use the piglet method of dry tumble with airsoft bbs. My PC is from smoke420. Here it is on one of these boolits after being pulled. 237247
And also on some expanded mihec...

Got a chance to cast some yesterday and sorted them today. I went with one solid pin, two med. hp pins, and one deep pin. Powder coated a small batch then added a few gas checks afterwards. Those...

I am aware, just would be neat. I have watched Mihec's videos and realize it would not work well. Would be very time consuming.
Gamsek, I am considering having one gc shank cut out. That would...

DukeInFlorida,
Those are good reads indeed. Read them a while ago along with all of the LASC articles. I almost pursued a minor in Materials Engineering because of it. I have tried Hi-Tek along...

Thank Gamsek, you are the only one I have really seen post much with this combination, at least that I could find. I do plan to shoot supersonic though. I may make a separate thread for this topic....

Thanks DukeInFlorida,
I have been reading all that I can find on this mold with 300 blk. I do plan on powder coating and gas checking.
I have seen very little range tests and accuracy reports...

Has anyone working on 300 Blk with this gotten any results they care to share? I am hoping to get some cast this weekend and start load development after a little aging. I would appreciate any...

I contacted him and was able to get one. It arrived today. This is my 6th mold from him and it never gets old gazing on the new ones. Time to take some pics then wash and heat cycle. Do contact him.

Moderators: If this is in the wrong spot please move it or let me know so I can. Thanks.
I have a question for those of you using this mold as a plain base:
Has anyone tried Plain base gas checks...

Well,
If it is gonna take a while might as well get it going :?

I will wait for a reply from Mihec. Sutherpride59, did you ask if any extras existed? If none exist, I may wait a few weeks and restart a discussion to see if there is still enough interest. I look...
Forum: Group Buy Archives
Thanks DukeinFlorida. I PMed him. We will see. It appeared there was a line for extras so I will not hold my breath. I am sure another group buy will happen for this one soon enough, even if I...
Forum: Group Buy Archives
Somehow I missed this run. Is there any expectation of another re-run?
Thank you.

I used advice from this page on Mihec's website:

I am in Prattville. The MP molds are incredible,...

Being in Alabama, I finally got everything ready to cast. Made my first pour, was about to start lubing the mold when thunder and rain hit... of course. I envy those that have a workshop for this! ...
Forum: Group Buy Results
Ok, so I polished up two of the pins. That seems to do the trick. I only have to polish the straight section of the pin. This is in case anyone else notices that the two different style pins don't...
Forum: Group Buy Results
That was the plan! I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks again Lakehouse, I read that on MP's page about the 1/8th turn. I have 4 of his molds, but the 3 HP molds are 7-8 years old (got those new from him) so I forgot what a new HP mold is like :)...
Forum: Group Buy Results
Thanks Lakehouse,
I have not done any casting with it yet. It appears to have something to do with the actual hollow point pin section, not the base of the pin (flipped the pin upside down and it...

Thanks bluejay75, I did check that first though.
Any other thoughts? When it all cools down I will check diameters (should have done that before.. doh)
