I want one
I want one
3 cavity gc with hollow point
I have been toying with the idea of a subsonic 0.510 whisper type cartridge for a while. A cast bullet such as this one would seem ideal to me. We could get away with a plain base but we probably won't find a plain base mold. Besides, Gator checks are only around $45/1000. I'd want to chamber an Encore barrel and then surpress it. Any info on reamer dimensions? Who offers 0.510 Encore barrels? I have a 500 S&W barrel from Match Grade Machine. Maybe they could make one.

I spoke to JD Jones at length about this. In an effort to create as little work for yourself as possible, if you don't have to have it in a bolt action, the 50 Alaskan with a BMG throat is the way to go. You'll want a tight twist. I believe JD uses a 1 in 10".
Hornady sells dies right off the shelf. Starline has brass. No case neck turning, trimming, forming, etc. Your Encore works best with a rimmed case.
There are several guys doing Encore barrels, but JD has worked all the bugs out on the subsonic 50. He may have one ready to ship. He can be grumpy at times, and his pricing is not the cheapest on the block, but I have yet to hear anyone gripe on the quality of the workmanship. I've tried bypassing the dollars and ended up spending way more to get everything right. I should have started with JD. Buy once, cry once.
If I don't sell my Ruger No. 1 in 458 lott, l will rebarrel it for that very cause.
I want one 3 cav add the HP pin.
I see that PB is not offered, and then i see where one is going to be cut? is that and after the fact thing ( I mean cutting it for gc then reaming out the step)
Hmmm
I am tempted to do 2 ..... Depends on when this is scheduled for and when the call for payment is coming . I did not see it on the NOE schedule last time I looked and now I cant find the schedule.
Oh and as far as the question about my barrel twist ... I dunno, don't have a barrel just a reamer and spare Remington 700 action with an EGW magnum bolt (that still needs to be opened up a smidge)

It should work in 16" or 17" twist at about 1100FPS.
What twist are you talking?

Correction, the 9" twist would be the better of the two.
16", 17" is to slow. Used the wrong bullet length.

I've sold fast twist 50-70, 50 Alaskan and 50-140 Encore barrels from time to time, all throated for the Hornady AMAX.
Just depends on how much whomp you need.
I've tightened up the throat on all the reamers to .511", most were .513+ on the initial prints.
PUT ME DOWN FOR A THREE CAVITY.
I have a 50 Alaskan encore barrel from Ssk . I believe the twist is 1-10 . I shoot 820gr spotters and they are about 2.75 in long . And they shoot fine no key hole at 25 yds.
I am in for a 4 cav. GC

Al,
By the time this mold runs again, I'll certainly be in FL, and ready to get this mold. Will also have to save up for tools and a press. Oh, and also an UPPER for my AR.
So, please put me on the list for a 4 cavity GC mold.
Thanks.

Can you make mine with hollow point please
"Ya - on the schedule for October"
I hope that I'll see the mould before next October. To quote Queen: "I want it all, and I want it NOW."

I could do without the mould if I had a little different bullt. What I would -REALLY- like to have is that nose style, maybe a bit more blunt, with HP capability in the mould, casting a 650-700 grainer, and with a 0.501" dia so I could use them in my .500 S&W handi-Rifle with a suppressor.
