    Flycutter,

    The group buy is closed. However I think it is possible that Miha will cut few extra molds.
    I'll meet him today and eventually let you know.
    Contact him directly anyway.

    Thank you.

    Meeting Miha

    As I anticipated, I had the wonderful privilege to meet Miha and visit his shop.

    First of all I want to say that Miha is one of the finest guy I ever met and I received a very warm welcome.
    You would never stop talking to him.

    The visit of his shop was quite an experience, to say at least.

    Everything is in order and at the right place. His CNC machine, lathe, bullet casting machines and lube sizer were clean as the examples exposed in a showroom and ready to be used.
    He showed me several molds, several bullet types is making and we discussed bullet casting problems and bullet designs, loads and accuracy etc.

    Blocks for the Wad Cutter bullet discussed in this GB were ready and few 4-cavity brass blocks were located in the CNC machine and ready to be realized.

    I had the privilage to see the machining process of the 4cavity molds and shot few pictures and video. I attach a picture and will figure out the best way to load a video.

    Miha didn't waste time and, before my arrive, had prepared the Lee casting pot to cast the very first De Carli Wadcutter bullet examples

    Diameter of the bullets were just above .358 ". I had no doubts about that!


    A very special thanks to Miha for letting me visit him and shoot these pics.

    More to come.. casting pics, loading pics and testing pics..
