I agree completely. I've bought never used S.D. #68 and #51 four cavities that I paid a lot for and never regretted it. Like you said money is out there, and going down in value, but there will never...
Does anyone here know the history of the H&G #68 bullet? For example who designed it and when? Was it contracted to H&G to make? This bullet is "HANDS DOWN" the most accurate design at 50 yard...
Took me almost a year but finally captured one of these molds and worth the wait. I can see why you won't sell yours. Just started playing with the load development but with 4.8 red dot I was...
I took some measurements from one of my bullets and compared to the Accurate drawing. Thay are basicly the same with the most noteable difference in the slight radius of the meplat on the H&G.
Yeah it looks like that one. I have a flat base one. Was going to buy one from him if I couldn't find one. A hard hitting and accurate design. Feeds in my pistol great.
Just purchased a 4 cavity H&G 292 on e-bay. First one I have ever seen on there and worth the wait. It preforms just like a H&G should after preheating it cranked out bullets perfect. Just tried it...

Sounds good. Next casting session I will give it a try. What rifle and twist are you shooting thoughs NEIs from?

The last time I cast I dropped half in water and half air cool. The ones I tried were air cooled. I will try the water cooled next. Should I heat treat linotype? Thanks for the info on Ed Harris. I...

Cast from linotype they drop around 290 grains with the diamentions you stated. Mine has the DD ring on the nose which is a option. I think it really helps with the accuracy. I tried a softer mix but...

That must be a compressed load. The Lyman book I have goes up to 46 grains of 3031. So far my rifle seems to like that powder. How long of barrel do you have? I bet recoil is pretty stout. John

I forgot to mention I am casting with linotype and sizing .359. I might try .360 also. I think with my barrel twist this bullet would like going faster rather than slower. My Rem. has a long throat...

Been playing with the 35 whelen lately and thought I would share my findings. Back in the late 80s I bought a rem.700 classic when they came out because I've always liked 35s. I played with it using...

I have acquired an old Saeco sizing die in 454 dia. It looks like all my others but has no threads on bottom. Did Saeco make a luber-sizer that held them different. I have never seen one like that....
Thanks for the info. Do you know any background on the background on the development of this design ie: TC or air-force? I have some jacketed Hornadys and Sierras that look to have the same nose...
Anyone have any experience with the H&G 292 mold for the 45 ACP? Am thinking about getting one from Ballistic-cast. Don't think I will ever see a used one for sale. I see it was in the H&G catalog in...
