Poll, $55 dollar mold cavities

[uscra112]

I'm assuming the stated sizes are cherry sizes and the actual boolit cast from them will typically be .002 or .003 smaller, depending on alloy and technique...Right Joshua ???
Jon

I sure hope not. There's folks out here with old single shots that need a mould that throws a .228+ boolit in WW+1%. a .228 can be sized down to .226, or left as is. That means a cherry of about .230 or so.

I'm glad you're are re-asking my question, "what I assume" and "what is", surely could be different. I was hoping for a response from Joshua to confirm or correct me.

I thought I responded, we take our cherry and plunge cut then interpolate it out to final diameter, our .22 cherries are only .187 in diameter. This allows me to make a cherry at any diameter requested.

As of now I have 2 7mm designs I am looking at adding and I have an HG 68 on the way so I can copy it.

OK, now I understand even better.
thanks

Count me in on the 7mm soup can. No hesitation. Kevin

Josh,

When it comes to itty-bitty bullets (.22, .25, etc.), have you considered putting 4 cavities in 2 cavity blocks? It might help mitigate heat loss issues.

Yes I have, my 227-75 was made on smaller than normal blocks just for that reason.

The 45 gr .227 as requested

[jmort]

I am in no hurry, but you have 24 votes for a heavy .357 (what I want) and 23 wanting .45 ACP and .....

One bullet that I would be in for and I don't know what it is for sure. When Buckshot makes a sizing die for you he sends a sized proof bullet with it. When he did a 432 for me the bullet that came with it looked very similar to the 310 Lee but it wasn't it exactly. I have the Lee 310 and it was a little shorter with much larger meplat. I asked Rick and he thought it was a Lee310. The only way to know for sure would be to get a sample from Rick and who's mold is it.

.360 200gr....35 Remington?

[uscra112]

In re: Post #49 - - - .227 doesn't do anything for those of us who have .228 groove barrels.

There is a post about a mould from NEI that uses copper tubing for a jacket material. Put a piece of cut tubing in the mould then pour.
Maybe a cherry to cut a mould using 5/16" tubing for the 30 cal bunch and extrapolate it larger for use in .375" guns.

338RUMag,

Your finished mould pics are porn for the Pb addict. They excite me.

The .260\.271 @ 160 grains would be Nirvana if offered as a Loverin design. Loverin's multi-grooved body is a made-in-Heaven boolit for most any bolt mil-surp rifle suffering a long, worn throat. For example, M96 Swedes......

Cheers,
Wt.

I think there is an article in the NRA handbook, or Lyman CBH3 about that, using the 311284....

I'll be in on the 45 Grn .227 if you run it.

[P.J.Plinkerton]

I'd like to see a copy of the 311419 or a close facsimile in the 85 grain range. They seem immensely popular with those lucky enough to own one but they're all but impossible to find.

Anything is possible...

I can start a buy on that tomorrow...
