    Miha 90 gr. .380 hollow point mold.

    Any one else got one of these? I would be very interested in hearing about what powder and charge you are useing. I have tried AA# 2 and AA#5 and my loads are way too hot, I loaded with starting load 90 gr. Jword data.

    So let's hear it.

    I dont have that particular boolit, but I have the 100gr Ranch Dog.
    I'm using 3gr Bullseye with straight COWW if that helps you out any.

    I've the NOE version myself. Much though I love my MP molds, the lead time on his runs has gotten to be more than I can handle. I use 3.1 grains of WW-231 or 3.3 Grains of Unique, I tried Red Dot but it does not meter consistently. I'm going to try some Tite Group when I get around to it. Hodgdon recommends 2.7 to 3.2 grains under a 90 grain bullet.

    I have looked on NOE's site for 380 molds and cannot find any.. Do they still make the 90gr mold?

    Hey Doc
    http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/product...6jji3m4uhbc2h0

    It's Swede's 358-88 grain RF RG2 HP. He has three of the 2 cavity listed on hand, and 1 of the RG4. I have the 2 cavity. The RG design is not quite as easy to cast with as the MP Cramer style, but it is miles ahead of the Lyman 1 holers. I have three NOE HP molds, and 5 MP HP molds. You can cast HP boolits from these molds nearly as rapidly as you can ordinary boolits.

    I ran a test a while back of a MP H&G 68 clone HP against a MP H&G 68 clone minus the HP. I cast with each mold for an hour, and totaled up the production at the end. I got about 10 HP boolits per minute, while the regular boolit mould produced about 12. With either mold, in 10 minutes I can produce more good boolits than I can with a Lyman Devastator in an hour.
