All great choices , I would humbly add 1 more in the .45 acp arena the HG 130. In my guns, as accurate as an HG 68, but a little lighter. The 2 predominant .45 bulls eye bullets of their time.

I have had these for a little while and casting some today. A 6 cavity HG 332, which is a 180 gr. .40/10mm version of a HG 68 SWC and a 6 cavity 373 , which is a .40/10mm 155 gr round nose. They are...
Yep maybe hermans is right , I have only 2 Walther PPQ 5" and a CZ P10 F and they both eat 'em up. These also work well in a PAK 9 ;-)
I too have been lucky, all mine either came from E Bay or MP molds in Slovenia.
That is beautiful my friend. An adjustable case !!
Let us know how your p-10 likes that load. Just ordered a CZ p-10 f and I have the no lube groove version from MP which my Walther PPQ loves. So I am curious how yours will do.

yes sir that was me and I have already cast 1000 and shot about 100. Very accurate, mine is dropping 134 grains.
You have the thin band version. I have a 10 cavity version that throws 118 grains. I powder coat all mine and they are very accurate, better than me as are all HG molds.

Smokes clear will cover the most IMHO , with Carolina Blue a close second.
Quote from Mitch: I have 2 MP molds here both cast 38s. I too had problems .I found tuning up the heat of the alloy didnt help me much.I would stay the 750 on your pid and heat the mold hotter to...

My 3 favorite powders from Smoke are 1)Clear, 2)Carolina Blue, 3) Bacon Grease in that order. Clear and Carolina Blue cover the best. I preheat all bullets as I live in the south and the humidity can...

Dragonheart is right the scrape test , I call it is a very good indicator of the cured state of the powder coating. even better than the smash test.
The screws came today and they almost too pretty to use! They are perfect!! I'll be fitting the handles tomorrow.
Many thanks,
Flydad
I have the 452374 solid and the 452 200 NLG solid. I like the 200 because it casts faster, shoots faster and uses less lead. it is also very accurate in a XDM 5.25 and a Walther PPQ 45. They are...
Agreed , they are works of art. I too just bought a #50 with out handles and missing a screw. Does anyone know where I can find a screw that holds the handles on a 4 cavity H & G? They screw in from...

Those are beautiful, makes me smile.
Are there any other handles that fit H & G molds?

I use Smoke's powders and always use parchment paper at least twice before replacing with no issues.
You truly did a great job preserving a great mould. Are the weights around 100 grains like you wanted?
Yeah , Wish I had known about reloading when I was growing up. My dad taught me to hunt quail, but never owned a handgun. Maybe that's why I bought a model 29 6 /12 " blue on my 21st birthday. He...
I have been thinking about a shelf since I started started casting with the 6 cavity H& G #130 six cavity. I just thought it was heavy, until I got the 10 cavity 115 8-)
I agree. I have several mp molds in brass and a H & G 130 6 cavity. I love my mp's , but the H & G is on another level. I cast for an hour straight the other day and from start to finish , every...
I am going to cast some today and will try the lead block method. You have to use a different technique with these big iron molds. Thank you for describing how you do it. I will be testing some...
