    Well Randy, you could order 2-2 cavity molds for the greater good.

    LAST CALL!!!!! The buy will close at midnight EDT tomorrow, Sept. 7, 2012. If you've been trying to decide, ya' best get it done or miss out. If all goes well these molds should be delivered in approximately 3 months.

    That'll be a good thing. I can almost hear the boolit "SMACK!" In a way it would have been nice to have that report earlier but I 'spect that Mr. DNR would have been a bit put out by such antics.

    THIS GROUP BUY IS CLOSED!

    I'll be sending PMs to each buyer with a total this evening.

    We are on our way to getting a new mold for a new design.

    I've sent most of you a PM with your cost and anything else I could think of to alleviate any questions. Please get your payment to me by 17 Sept 2012. Paypal is an option, but please understand the addition of a 4% surcharge to cover paypal fees.

    Thank you all for making my first attempt at as a Honcho for a Group Buy fairly easy thus far.

    PLEASE...

    Please send me a PM or email with your handle, your shipping address, what you ordered, Payment will need to be sent to me at the above address including your CastBoolit handle and the number of molds and cavity count.

    I need this information from those that haven't done so as yet. It is the only way I can correctly keep molds, names, and Castboolit handles straight. Call me slow if you want but please reply with the information guys.

    A couple of members here got a pretty good demonstration of this boolits potential @ 2510FPS from my tender carbine yesterday. I think they were happy with it, and the members that got in on this buy should count themselves fortunate that Edd was willing to do this buy for them....and himself. I also know that between Edd's 7mm-08 and my 7TCU his steel shooting plate needs an upgrade/replacement now.

    Are you using the same 50/50 COWW/lead and babbit alloy mix that Edd uses? I'm excited about this boolit in my 7x57 Ruger No.1

    For the most part YES......there was a very small percentage (5%) of railroad babbit added to the 50/50 mix. It is not absolutely required to add the babbit to the mix to get the accuracy @ 2510FPS in my dead stock 21inch contender carbine. In this instance I added the babbit to my 50/50 to control how fast this boolit will do it's thing when it hits venison. Edd and Duth4122 can both tell you that I still do not want to take a direct shoulder shot on whitetail at less than 100 yards with this carbine/boolit combo. The babbit was simply an expediant way to control the expansion on this flat faced hammer of thor a little bit.

    When testing the alloys with this carbine combo straight waterdropped 50/50 was bit too violent. They both can attest to the fact that it is still not "tame" when it hits waterfilled milk jugs. I simply must leave the shoulder blade alone and will try my best to place my shots directly behind the shoulder blade. If you would have seen the milk jug/newspaper testing I have done and then the demonstration on the milk jugs yesterday you would fully understand.

    If I am shooting the same boolit out of my 10Inch contender 7TCU barrel the velocity is a good 500fps lower and the babbit is not necessary in the least. I would make the comparison as such. My 10 inch 7TCU barrel is a typical pizzed of junkyard dog. The 21 incher turns said dog into a rabid wherewolf with a severe adjustment disorder.

    I simply cannot wait to put one of these through the ribs of a poor little whitetail
