#4 buck multi-cavity moulds here...

[Idaho Sharpshooter]

Has anybody bought one and used it enough to form an opinion; based on actual loading and shooting them?

I own a 20-cavity #4buck Sharpshooter mold,as well as a Sharpshooter "00". I love them. It does take some practice getting a perfect fill, but once you get the hang of keeping the mold hot, and establishing a quick rhythm its a piece of cake. Water dropped 50-50 (pure lead/wheel weight) lead makes hard shot for good patterns. I don't expect to compete with Ballistic Products' SuperBuck in quality, but after an hour in a vibrating brass tumbler I get round shot that does what I ask of it. I have never killed a coyote with it yet, but I have killed a few hundred cardboard silhouettes. Good short range boogie man medicine.

Just bought 00 and 0000 Sharpshooter buckshot molds. Only a couple of hours of messing with the 00 model, using straight WW. Really worked better hot.With kroil after a good initial scrub with a toothbrush and brake cleaner.A few mould fulls to heat her up good, spray Kroil, wipe excess.....ahh drops nice shot.and they are aluminum moulds, with oak handles that smell rather nice charring when the mould is up to temp and rolling along.

My RCBS pot was at 750F before I started getting good production. I started close to the bottom of temp adjustment. Messed around, casted a few lbs. of shot, and came back in the house and ordered a third mould, for F buck (.22) I like it, one decent buy on Fleabay.Half price of the Lee model. That doesn't happen often, someone undercutting Lee and still making a good product.

I have a #1 and 00 sharpshooter mold and like others have said, run it hot and it works beautifully. You need a good pair of leather gloves, as the handles get hot. I preheat mine on an electric hot plate. They make nice shot and a lot of it. I throw mine in my rotating tumbler along with some graphite to true them up after clipping the sprues. Skiesunlimited is a member here and is good person to deal with.

the only problem i had with mine was teh pivot pin dropping out when it gets hot enough to cast good. a bolt and nut took care of that.
