HM² - 18 cav #1 buckshot

[Fishman]

Well it is more traditional than the original vertical design by JT. Is this more functional as opposed to super cool, likely, but I guess we may never know. This should be put in a new thread.

I have a Capt Morgan mold that has 2 sprue columns and it works very well. Since it takes up so much space with the cavities and sprue columns it keeps the heat up and the buck just falls off the sprue when opened. I'm hoping this gang mold gixer is making will stay hot enough to produce large amounts of buck quickly. If the 22 cal molds work, this should be fine.

Gixer, any movement on this??? Sounds like a good idea. Just waiting on you now!!

First casting revealed a few issues with the sprue plate design, I've updated it and I am waiting on the shop to machine another one.

TTT for update?

[Firebricker]

If this is still open I would like one. FB

[gixer454]

Still moving, just slowly. The shop is moving locations and I am in the process of fine tuning the design still. The Engineer helping me with the design had a death in the family so that set me back a week or so.

You keep plugging along. I'd much rather wait on your best work rather than your fastest work. I really hope you do get it all worked out. I'm looking forward to this one.

[gixer454]

Thank you, once I nail this design I will begin working on other sizes of round ball molds. I've enjoyed this learning curve so far.

[Firebricker]

Bump !

Start your own thread, don't kidnap mine.

Start your own thread, don't kidnap mine.

I'm a little disappointed to see this response. You were absent from the forum from July to October of last year with no word of what was going on with these Group Buys. On October 2nd you posted that you were no longer in a position to deliver and did not know how to rectify the situation, and that was the last time you were heard from.

And now, when gixer454 has been able to step up and try to fill the need for these guys, you decide to get territorial about the thread.

IF you will remember, I brought the 360-235-1 35 Thor Group Buy to you because of a lack of communication and problems with the 7 Thor GB, and myself and a bunch of folks here did everything they could to expand your endeavors.

There has been no outcry, no backbiting, only a sincere wish that you could get back in the game, but that ain't happening in the foreseeable future, I would think that you would be pleased that the guys who got left hanging are going to be able to buy product.

Well put Hamish.
