Hello Zubrato,
I'm still waiting for mine. It was shipped almost a month ago but Canada Post has a huge backlog at the customs entry points... I emailed M. Prevec to see if he can find out more on...

Yes Sir! Paid today and I can't wait to load these suckers! I have a few thousand once fired REM gun club shells waiting patiently for this round ball....
It will be interesting to see how well they...
Thanks Trapper for the update. We need 10 more orders for the project to start... Come on guys, join us lol
Hello Apocalypse,
As I'm sure you are aware, MP molds is located in Slovenia. From what I understand, the molds will ship from there so I don't see any issues in that regards. Not every item sold...

I added my name to the list. I hope we get to 20!
I just put myself on the list for the group buy of a MP round ball mold in .678 caliber... A few more people are needed to get the ball rolling... [smilie=2: :-) pun intended

Well if I could get 1400 to 1500 fps with a 1oz round ball, I would be very happy. Now the tricky question... Should I order a mold in .678 or .680 caliber... What is the general consensus if any...
Thank you very much everyone for keeping me well informed. Like I initially stated in my opening post, we learn all the time and I'm very receptive to input. I will be checking the Ballistic products...
Thank you Longbow for the offer :-). The Jeff Tanner molds are so cheap that I might purchase two... one in .678 and one in .732
I think that I remember a gentleman by the nickname of Turbo who...
I will email M. Jeff Tanner asap. I will probably start with the smaller caliber round ball as it seems this might be easier to find loads for... So it seems Longbow swears by the .678 caliber round...
One thing I have never done is shoot full bore round balls yet. I have no idea how to load them or where to get any kind of reloading info... My Mossberg 590A1 has a cylinder bore barrel measuring...
All great advice here! I guess I just need to do some penetration testing with different slugs hey lol. I'm reading the thread regarding the new MP/Lyman 525 slug mold.... Interesting stuff. An other...
If you had to choose Longbow between the the Lyman 525gr Slug or a .678 round ball... what would be your choice inside 50 yards?
I agree with you Longbow, this is getting to be addictive in all the right ways lol. I own a Lee .690 cavity round ball mold but I'm not to fond of that ball size. I find that they are a tad to big...
I'm glad to know brass will work out well for casting. I'm also wondering if MP Molds would make a custom mold if I submit a design of my own. I was thinking using a wide meplat slug but keeping the...
Thank you Longbow for your input! I was just on the MP mold website and I see that they indeed have a nice mold copy of the Lyman pellet slug... How does brass compare to aluminum for casting since I...
First off, let me thank you for all the warm welcome :D. I read all your comments with great detail and I will try to clarify a few points.
Thank you Longbow for replying so quickly. I been...
