Update from miha: Pins are reversible, any mold that he makes that cannot be reversed will include blank pins.

[dromia]

So I only need one mould.

[Dschuttig]

Dromia - You do want the extra pins, right?

[dromia]

As the ones with the mould are reversible I won't need them, will I?

[Dschuttig]

As long as you don't mind the points sticking out of the bottom of the mold. I worry about hitting the points, but that is just me.

[dromia]

You have a point, no pun intended, so I'll go with the extra pins.

[Me not you]

What would be a good load to start with for this bullet in the 8x56R Hungarian?

[craig61a]

I was just wondering, if as cast is .340" on these, what would be the diameter of the lube grooves? I would be sizing these down to about .333" since I have two rifles that measure .331" groove. Just concerned that the lube grooves might not be deep enough after sizing.

[Me not you]

Assuming the bullet image is accurately drawn to scale and the outside diameter is 0.340, I get a lube groove diameter of 0.295. That's more than 0.022 deep. What you use for a lube and how you load the bullets are probably more important.

Sign me up for a 2 cav HP mold and extra pins for no HP same as Dromia's order. Thanks guys,
Shawn

I'm going to load it 12.5 Gr of Promo and up and 15Gr of 2400 and up.
I hope this works.
I'm also going to try pouring them out of WW and softer lead from pistol range just to see if it makes any difference.

[Cmasailor]

I would imagine at least 6 months.

Any new news on a schedule or are we still half a year out or more?

You will find that if you fill the lube grooves with lube BEFORE sizing to final diameter that the lube grooves will be the same depth as cast. I size .325 bullets to .313, .340 bullets to .335, .285 to .271 and .280 bullets to .271, the depth of the lube grooves after sizing is the same depth as they were before sizing, ALL BULLETS ARE LUBED BEFORE FINAL SIZING.

Maybe 6 months? Not Sure. If I find out anything I'll post it. Dan

No news on the molds?

I need to drop out of this due to lack of funds.
