CLOSED- MIHEC 432640 Lyman Devastator RERUN

[Mal Paso]

For those of you that have received their mold what pins did it come with? Did it have both the deep and shallow pin?

Deep and shallow hollow point and blank for solid nose.

Thank you.
I was hoping for a shallow as opposed to a cup point.

[Mal Paso]

No, it's not a cup.

I picked mine up today. Beautiful work but it looks kinda small.

I tried a small project today to get what youre looking for....Take a couple of your Pentas and file them down. I got mine down to 258 grains. I was shooting for 260. Im going to go a little shorter and see if I can get them to 250-252. I used calipers to make sure I got them to the same length. All weighed within a half grain. Guaranteed to get some expansion with soft alloy and have enough meat to hold together where the hollow point ends.

I got mine today, and I have my handles too. All is well!

[White Oak]

bluejay75, I am going to try that also. I want a shallower HP for hunting deer.

Mal Paso
Me thinks you got to be breaking some sort of California rules with that pile of alloy!

I did not get Pentas. Are they available? I was down for all pins.

A PM should fix you up.

[Mal Paso]

I got Large, Small and Flat. No Cup. I will PM. Thanks

[bluejay75]

I listed cup in error. This or the HG503 does not come with cup pins. I just did an inventory of the pins and no cup exists for these molds. Thus an ALL PINS(4 sets) listing. Im sure Miha will make it right.

So I got large, small, penta and flat.

You are correct in that youre missing a penta.

[Leadmelter]

Mine arrived today. It was opened by German customs. Everything is here.
One done, one next on the mill, one waiting.
Anticipation is the greater joy.
Just have to wait for temps to get below 90's or get up early and be ready to go.

I'm still waiting, apparently every person in three countries must have to open, touch and mess with mine. If its not fruit, animal, radioactive or drugs, they should just ship it. Xray, not new technology. Must be if customs in any country touches your package then everybody is going to touch it. Rant over.

[White Oak]

I am with you tradbear55, it is the reason I don’t gamble or play the lotto. The odds never seem to favor me.

Mine arrived today. Another work of art.

[W.R.Buchanan]

Mine arrived the 3rd but I missed it so I picked it up today. As usual absolute jewelry.

Mine was also opened by the Germans! Why don't they get rid of Anglea and stop sticking their Tutonic Noses in my business?

I got all three HP pins and blank pins for solids. All went together and slide in an out freely. If one doesn't slide freely applying a little pressure with your fingers to spread the pins apart will fix it. It takes almost no pressure to do this so don't get stupid with it. just pinch with your thumb and forefinger between the pins, and that will do it.

As a machinist these moulds blow me away. Way beyond anything I've made.

Now to turn the the furnace on and get to casting. It's supposed to be 108 F here tomorrow so it arrived just in time to sweat in the garage.

Mine arrived today. Another masterpiece from Miha.

[White Oak]

Received mine today. It is impressive.
Mine also had a nice note from the German Customs.

[Echd]

Mine arrived today but the mailman didn't actually attempt delivery, he just marked it as nobody was home. Didn't even leave a slip on the door or in the mailbox. Getting real tired of that... because he does it constantly.

[Rattlesnake Charlie]

Mine arrived a few days ago. The German postal group did have to open it up to ensure it was not something dangerous to ship. I wonder if they recognized what it actually was?

[Tripplebeards]

I got mine last night. Does anybody have a pet load for this bullet?

Shot sub MOA at a hundred yards last week out of my ruger 77/44 using a PC and GC’d Lyman devastator along with 21gr of h110. The BH was 7.5. Honorable mention went to 23.8gr of w296 at 1.24" using an alloy with 13.5 BH.



Here's a mushroom I caught with the 13.5 BH alloy in Tote full of water loaded with 23.8gr of w296. It was a 80/20 mix coww and pure and I added 6% pewter to the total. The 270gr boolit weighed 155gr and measured .679"





Heading to the range tomorrow to try 50/50 and 80/20 alloy with 21 gr of h110 to see if groups open or tighten up.
