There was a whole discussion thread about it, but I don't know if anyone actually picked one up..
Looks that way . . .

Midway has it for $46 (or they will when it gets back in stock).

I just picked one up Tuesday but they didn't have any handles so it will be a couple days before I find out how well it casts. It looks good no burrs the blocks fit up nice looking forward to trying it out. FB
I wish they'd make one for #1 buck. That size is the best bang for the "buck" (sorry), as you can get a LOT more of the .30 cal pellets in a shotshell than you can #00. Shotguns kill by multiple hits. 16 v.s. 9 in a 2-3/4 shell, 24 v.s. 16 in a 3" 12 ga shell. The small difference in penetration between .30 and .33 diameter balls is of little consequence.

Will this work for the Tarus Judge 3" 410 shells or are they to Big/Small to load properly?
Best price and source is lee factory sale ....$36.99

These cast fine but you'll run a much hotter melt to fill outwith a 95-98% pb alloy.
The product is at least as round as factory buck, and holds a 4"- 6" group at 30 feet with an I/C.
My load is a 4x2 stack in a AA hull and AA-12 wad, pushed by 19.5 grains green dot for 1250 fps. While 1 pellet less than factory 00 shells, and 100 fps slower, it's still devestating and has very distinct advantages:
440 grains total at 1250 fps is close to a 45-70 energy level.
440 grains is dead on... 1 1/8 oz. for all practical purposes.
The 8 point AA crimp is perfect and tight.
The WAD protects the barrel, the one pellet fewer is insignificant regarding impact effect, and coupled with the slightly less velocity is a REAL shoulder saver!
Try it and you'll not be disappointed.
437.5 grains = 1 ounce.
@ AZ-Stew; Sharp Shooter USA has a #1 buck for 34.95 for 20 cav for 34.95 with 5.00 shipping for up to 4 molds. I just bought and received 4 of these.
