Good info. Given the way the various ingots were labeled, you all are probably right that they are 96-3-1. I appreciate the input. Most of my castings are 9mm and 45 loaded lighter than factory...

A guy at the club passed on and had a pile of lead ingots that he labeled "631". Does this designation mean anything to you all? He had some labeled LT which I assume is Linotype, and WW, which is...

Received mine in yesterday's mail, here in the Panhandle of Florida. FYI, Mihec mailed it out on 25 January according to the postal sticker. They are just taking a long time.

Thanks Chris. I have one other Mihec brass mould and it really is the best I have. I was just wondering since the thread just went cold. I'm looking forward to using this mould since I shoot a lot of...

You can get bronze wool at marine stores, or bigger boat stores. When you use metal wool for polishing or whatever on a boat you NEVER use steel because the tiny pieces that scatter around the work...

Fluxed, thanks for the report, I'll order one up and give it a try.
Gwpercle, ya, the problem with a thin little sprue plate is it's very difficult to get the sprue thick enough before the boolit...

Anybody out there used NOE brass moulds? I'm in need of a 9mm mould to replace the Lyman steel 122 gr conical 9mm mould I've been using for the past 30 years. I'm sick of dropping two at a time, with...

I'll take one 6 cavity, brass, plain base, with lube groove, 135 gr. if available with the plain base. If not, then 125 gr. It is more important to me to have a plain base than heavier bullet. Email...

I finally got out today and tried 15-20 round-nose, deep hollow point, and penta-point through my Springfield Armory XD45. My other .45 mould, a Lee 6-cavity aluminum model, dropped bullets that just...

I paid on 1/21, so hopefully I'll see the mold in another week or two. I'm looking forward to my first brass mold. The only other one I have for 45 acp is a Lee aluminum profile that refuses to feed...

Am I ever going to get on the list? It's been at 127 names for a couple weeks now. This is my first participation in a group buy, am I doing it right? I posted a request for one solid 4 cavity mould...
Forum: Group Buy Results
How long does it normally take to show up on the list? I posted here 5 days ago that I'd like to sign up for a solid 4 cav mold, not on the list yet.
