Miha,

I ordered a 4 cav. 38 HB wadcutter mold with HB pins after the groupe buy closed.
The mold arrived quickly but included the blank pins instead of the HB pins.

There were 2 plastic bags. Be careful and look into paper before you throw it away.

I had the same thoughts, even pm'd Miha about it before I found the second bag of pins,etc wrapped in one of the pieces of paper.

Got my 432 HBWC today. So keep an eye out for the mail man.

My .432 HBWC came today. Now I'm fixed up for both .357 and .44. Just have to find time to cast.

AAARRRRGGGHHHHH !@!!!!!!! Mine showed up at work after I left Friday. I have to wait for Monday !!!

[RED333]

Well mine just might be at work as well.
5/13/14
Mold was at the office today, as before the molds are great!

[Gunslinger1911]

OK, got the mould, casts great. Do I lube both grooves ? And seat flush like a "normal" 38wc ?

[RED333]

Cast a few of the .432, HiHec makes a great mold, took a bit to get the HB rim to fill, but it came to me after about 10 cycles.
Powder coated, loaded and will test fire on Fathers Day.

[RED333]

Well got out and shot 10 of them, worked well in my SBH with 6.5 gr of Titegroup.
Now I did load these with the hollow pointing out. Cast as straight WW
Dug 3 out of the sand bank, 220 gr before and 207 to 212 gr after, expanded to over .75".
I am impressed!

Water filled targets are even more fun. I used straight WW for my first ones. I tried to dig out some from the backstop, but only found fragments. I switched to range lead and they mushroom nicely. Here is a short video I did a couple of years ago with some light loads from my 7.5" Redhawk in 44. I have 38, 44 and 45 from extras from the last run.



I've started playing with these in my 20" Rossi M92s, 357 and 44. I need to do some more video. They really go splat when you step up the velocity.

[MiHec]

I still have some molds on hands. PM me if you want one

[Coltman]

Hi Miha .. I just returned from a 2 month deployment for work and found that one of the molds that I had signed up for in this GB had not arrived .. Then I discovered that my wife had only sent money thru paypal for 2 so the .44 cal mold 432 395 is still needed .. If you have any left I would sure like one !! Please let me know and I will send off the payment thru paypal ?? Thanks so much .. The .358 and the .452 molds that I received look great .. I can't wait to cast with them !! Coltman

[MostlyOnThePaper]

I'd drop him a PM also, just to be sure, if you haven't already. He always answers them eventually.

Thanks Randy for the "heads up" ... I'll do that ... Randy AKA Coltman !!

Well I filled the base with powder coat and shot some into some water, it preformed very well.
Look for the thread about "How a Red Neck drains a pool".
Pis of the 44 HB filled with powder coat and loaded backwards, 200 gr was the lightest and 215 was heaviest.
The 44 HBs are the second set from the left, 1st set are 300 gr 44 caliber, I do not what the deformed boolit hit, 3rd set are .690 ball shot from a 12 ga, and the 4th set are from a 45 Colt.
I like the way my straight WW works. All shot through the side of the pool that has steel sides. If you look close at the balls you can see steel stuck to 2 of them next to the magnet.
