I bought soft lead from The Capitan several years ago and consider her an outstanding person to deal with.

Replace the breaker and see what happens ! If that does not work try bypassing the new switch.
Take a look at the nicely machined steel Sprue Cutter Cam Lever from Rick at Kal Tool & Die (Red River Rick here on the Forum). I have a couple on 4-cavity Accurate molds and they work perfectly !

The metric socket head cap screws MP uses are probably equivalent to our grade-8 so trying to drill will probably make a mess of things.
I agree that it would be best to just leave it as is and...

I picked up this S&W 29-4 years ago at a bargain price. After firing just two rounds I realized why the previous owner sold it. After just two .44 magnum rounds it became a .44 Special revolver !...

Although it does not sound like the photo you are looking for, I posted this one MANY years ago. All are IDEAL/LYMAN 454424 except the extreme left which is 452424 and the extreme right which is...

If you ever want to try the 45-310 I can send you a batch to play with.

There were indeed dozens of threads and months of discussion that lead to design consensus, 45 2.1 drawings, and the Group Buys by Catshooter. It is interesting to go back through the...

About 15 years ago Catshooter ran a large series of LEE group buys featuring 45 2.1 KEITH SWC designs. These were very popular and LEE did a good job on most of them. I recently looked back into the...

I have this NOE mold in plain base and gas checked hollow point. I can also make it a solid gas checked as well. Let me know if you would like a hand full to experiment.

I have the Accurate 43-215W you are considering and can send you a batch to test before you order the mold. Drop me a note if interested.

I ran a LEE Group Buy of this 45 2.1 designed 44-200 DEWC about 16 years ago. It was very popular so you might ask if anyone has one to sell.
It works very well with 20:1.

I agree that there is very little difference in shooting performance in the majority of the various "Keith-style"bullets. I still tend to prefer the old IDEAL 429421 style shown in my photo...

Larry:
The box part #82043, the bullet image printed on the box, and the profile of your mold seem to indicate the mold is actually the 44-245-KT.
This even though the mold is stamped 44-250-KT....

These are my original photos from the old post.
I have included the old IDEAL 429421 (unvented mold) for comparison.
The 44-250-KT is currently called the 44-250-SWC #82044...

I posted a photo of the two bullets side-by-side on one of those old threads. I will dig it out tomorrow and post it again. They are distinctly different !

Any old .38/44 S&W Outdoorsman or Heavy Duty will do just fine !

I have the Konus 20-60x 100mm Spotting Scope and consider it a great value.

I would also recommend Buckshot if you decide to purchase a custom size !

I enjoy casting for a variety of .44Special and .38Special revolvers.
The great majority of my cast bullets go through S&W .38/44 Outdoorsman models though.
