Is Paulinski in Canada also? Or a US memeber?

A few teaser pics:




I cast a few Flat Points with WW + 2% Tin, and they came out at 680gr (unchecked and unlubed) and at 0.5015". This is pretty much exactly where they should be - 20grs under seems like it's a lot, but it's only about 3%, and my alloy has a fair bit of "non-lead" in it.

The bullets drop nicely once the mold is heated up, and that takes a LONG time, so be prepared to cast a bunch at each sitting. The bullets drop well from the mold, but I had to re-tighten the sprue plate screw about every five bullets until I noticed that it has a set screw (dummy). This is a very nice mold and I will buy many more from them - quality, price, and speed of delivery (sorry guys from the US) are all excellent - take notice NOE.

The second pic shows a cast bullet, seated 0.100" off-the-lands (2.500" OAL) for my NEF Handi-rifle, and then the Lee 440gr where I seat it at an OAL of 2.275". Very little powder space is taken up, as I can seat it out as far as I want, unlike with a revolver. In fact, I can seat it to 2.575 behind a driving band, and crimp in in place (once I get a crimp die). I'm going to try a full case of BLC-(2) and a few full or near full cases with other powders between it and IMR-4198 in burn rate.

The bullet is supposed to weigh 700 with gas check and lube, so it will be closer once that is done.

I'm anxious too - I have 30 loaded up with three different powders, but I'm waiting for the wind chill to go above -20 before I venture out! A couple of weeks I'd say.

Canadians are all wimps!!! Heck, here in Maine, we shoot right up till it gets to -40!

Hearing all this -20 degrees stuff makes me glad I live in North Carolina!!! Its a lovely 50 degrees today!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Andy for some warmer weather.

Sorry to hear you Northerners have such cold weather, I have been working on and driving my Convertibles around for the past two weeks with the top down.
Happy to see the molds are getting to some of us already. So I have about a two week wait if its like last time with the 440 HP mold. Worth the wait.

[seppos]

Yes..

Works even with a bit of a zink..

Damn. Those are prettier than the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.

I can't wait.

Moulds are good, but one has to clean them properly. I only washed them with asetone, but the Mihecs cutting fluid need propably little more attention to be washed away..
Anyway.. I might try the mold today again..
Bad thing with these molds are that they swallow lead so quickly that one should have big pot of it ready..
