Don't know how long Lee has been selling the blank molds for the 2 and 6 cavity but thought someone here might be interested in them.
I may buy a 2 cavity just to experiment with. I read an article along time ago about making your own cherry to cut a cavity in an aluminum block. It looked like half of the boolit. The cavity was started with a drill bit IIRC.
ive had the same thoughts on attempting to make a pp mold with one of these .
could it be as easy as putting the nose profile you want on a correct dia drill steel for a smooth sided boolit
we are soldiers we guard honor and wage war in between we wait like a stone untill our chance comes again
I recently bought a couple of 7mm molds with the object of machining smooth sided 30 caliber cavities for a project I am working on . Even if a mould is totally ruined I will be only down 20 bucks .
It's also a cheap and easy way to make lead slugs for swaging. The size and weight is all up to you.
If you are going to make a short booit, it is cheaper to buy one of their .311" round ball molds and trim the top.
At least that's what I keep telling myself.
