MiHec 9 mm 147 HP or 155 Solid 4 cav brass for alternativ coating

Got my mold today yay

[jayjay1]

I love this forum.
Isn´t it amazing, that we can order a mold and then compare our results with different loads all over the world?

I´ve casted some and will go coat them right now, load some up and shoot them next week.
I will report then.

[jayjay1]

Will shot some HP and normal ones tomorrow.

They have an OAL of 1,115" and have 2,9grs. of VV N320 and Lovex D032, which are pretty much the same, when it comes to weight and velocity.

Will report my results here.

any update jayjay1?

i got a delivery notice today but of course i can't get it until tomorrow... AND they are charging me an extra $40 ****ing wankers at customs.

[jayjay1]

Yes, of course, both are the same.
I have no idea which groupings are better, both are slightly under 2" at 25m and they make both Minor PF out of my CZ Shadow, about 131, the VV just a bit faster.

The short OAL, because of the short throat, which all CZ´s have, is a bit an issue.
If I could set it out just 0,04" further, it would be a much softer shot, I´m sure.

Well, I´m thinking about reaming it since a while.

What?! What excuse are they using? Lots of Canadians on this forum have received moulds from Slovenia, I have four of them myself, I've never heard of CBSA dinging anyone for even as much as the GST.

After straightening out a bad e-mail address (i'm such a dummy)
Mine got to me very quickly, like just over a week.
You know how it is ..... Gotta play. I had to put my shotgun refinish job on the back burner for a bit, while I tested the new mold.
As it has always been it took 20 + casts to start getting some nice boolits. I made the Hp version first. They weighed in at just under 150 Gr.
most were 149.5. As always Miha's molds are just pure works of art.
Now I gotta load up a batch and go shooting.

ok so i just paid the ******** fee's for my mold and opened up the box to find scratches and a dent in one side of the mold. i highly doubt it was shipped to me that way so that only leaves the *******s at the cbsa. they did not put the mold back in the plastic wrap mihec did and they were loose to bang into each other during shipping.

[Spawn-Inc]

i cast some up with the mold to see if it was just cosmetic damage and it seems to work fine, although it seems to be a bit out of round. whether solid or HP it measures .360" from the mold line to mold line and .358 perpendicular to the mold line.

using pure mixed 50/50 with COWW +/- 10% in either direction i get 151gr for the HP and 158gr for the solid.

Mihec is very generously sending me a new one, so major thumbs up to him! Hopefully the people at customs don't open it again.

So I have a generous supply of HP boolits ready to load now....
Next question is , who has some good load data for this boolit?
Just my guess but I would think a medium to slow powder ?
I have Green Dot - Unique - Power Pistol - CFE pistol
In the faster range I have Bullseye - Red Dot - 700x - Clays Int. - Tite Group.
My un-educated guess is the slower powder would work to build gradual pressure to move the boolit a bit more slowly to begin with, Rather than slamming the 150 gr. chunk?
If you don't want to publish any loads feel free to PM me.

I'm using 6.7 gr AA#7, 1.138 OAL, WSP primers, Hitek coated, average velocity 950fps. Put the 1st 5 into one hole at 10 yards, then the next 3, 5-shot groups onto a 7x10" reduced IPSC steel silhouette at 75 yards. Groups shot offhand from a RMR-equipped Glock 17, OEM barrel. That'll do for my purposes.

the first powder I would try would certainly be Hodgdon Longshot

being curious, how long is that boolit ? a 147gr XTP HP is about 0.662"

Mine measure 0.656" long.

from what I have read looks like the powder to look for is Longshot or the IMR 4756 or some Auto Comp.
I have some CFE Pistol that I snatched up a while back that looks promising at around 4.2Gr.
I still have to Powder coat My Boolits. I think I like Smoke's Superman Blue...

[jeremiah.allen1]

Here is one of my PC bullets, the zombie green color is also coated inside the cavity.

[jayjay1]

That is ZombieGreen!?!?!?!?

Dang, that´s beautiful!!!

[Blanco]

Zombie Splatter....I LIKE it

[Spawn-Inc]

here is my efforts so far. the blue are 3.8gr of longshot seated to 1.13 with slightly deformed HP from my lee dies. the green is 4.2gr of longshot.

my HP weigh in at 151gr.
