The gem showed up in the mail today. I can't wait to cast some of these and push down range in a CA Bulldog. One heck of a HP on this RG2 mold. Anybody else grabbed this and using it?

I bought one and casted some boolits but have not gotten to load and shoot some.
Soon though!

dang that's almost a full wad cutter with a hole in the nose.
It is a full wad cutter
Being human is not for sissies.
Well, yeah, it's designed as a hollow base wadcutter, but no reason not to turn it around.
Actually, it's not a hollow base. It has 3 different pin sets, to make a full Wadcutter, shallow HP or deep HP. The deep HP pins are on it. Those get filled with pork fat.Originally Posted by Nueces
It will happen for me Saturday I hope.
it will be on the agenda Saturday. Will post with some loaded up.
Yeah, you're right. I confused it with the nearby 432-215 HB WC.
make sure you do the heat cycles AL recommends the mold will cast a whole bunch better for you after that.
I'm seeing a drive band, a lube groove, a crimp groove, and a nose.
that's more what I would call a hammer type boolit
I think I've got to have one of those.......
I shoot so that I can handload.
Just when I thought I had all the molds I need!
Swede, you're killing me.

I will do exactly that. I do it on all my molds. I have an old muzzle loading mold that used a shallow HP pin but this will be a different horse for me. Patience my son, patience, will be the order of the day and attention to detail. Looking forward to it.
Cast some up last night. The hollow point pins are new thing for me but started getting it figured out. The one with the flat pins weighed 240 grains

Man that is a sharp looking boolit.

your ass tomorrow."
Oh Thats Nice!!! I am getting one with the of the RN ones so I can use it in the lever action. It doesnt like the the SWC, they wont feed. Maybe a full WC will.
Just out of curiosity, how are you loading them? Light, medium, or heavy?

Jeff..How about some boolits pics after the hollow point pin was installed?
It's all chicken, even the beak!
At the moment, 7.7 grains of SR-4756, which I am reading is a pretty mild load for the Bulldog. I haven't put it over the chronograph yet, just loaded 20 real quick and shot 10
ok, will do.
