Arsenal Molds?

[buggybuilder]

Jared has made me 3 molds so far. .32-40 .25-20 and I just rec'd the .225 "ELVIS" this week. Very good molds. The ELVIS 61 gr. mold shoots great. 1/2" groups at 50 yds. Will try 100 yds this week.

Just ordered me a 359-130-RF from Arsenal to feed my BHP and two Glocks. I sent an e-mail to them about it and they replied within an hour, said it works great in 9mm. Looking forward to pouring some with it. I'm a big fan of boolits in the 125-135 grain range for 9mm, and this one looks superb.

The 359-130-RF showed up Friday and I was able to pour some with it today. Nice lookin boolits, unfortunately I have no idea when I'll be able to try em out. Any idea of what OAL I should try with these boolits in 9x19?

Sized 'em to .357 last night and I have to say these are the easiest boolits to size I have ever tried. They aren't too picky about how far down in the die they go, and the nose accepts a,plain flat top punch just fine. The sized portion can be clearly observed, which gives me a good indication of how far to seat them.

Ordered my first one a couple days ago. Ordered a 330gr 460 double cavity mold for my 45-70. Looking forward to trying it! Will be my first non Lee mold.

Loaded some up last night with 3.8 grains of IMR Target. Seated to 1.057 they plunk down quite nicely in the barrels of my Browning Hi-Power and Glock 19 and 26. Hope I can try 'em out soon!

Update: the new boolits are shooting great. I find that 1.075 is an ideal OAL to use for them, it plunks just fine in all my 9mm pistols. So far, 3.8 grains HP-38 is the best load I have tried. This boolit also seems to get along great with the factory barrel of my Glock 19 and 26, in fact the tightest group I've made so far was with 3.8 grains HP-38 in the Glock 26 with original barrel. The Storm Lake barrels seem to like it quite well too though. Very happy with this mold, probably order one for the .380 Auto next!

Got a couple molds that I love. Sold one because it was a great bullet, just wouldn't work in my application. Have a .224 "Elvis" that I am trying to burn up. Cast a few hundred of those little pins every time my pot is heated up.

Been researching 25-20 to be used in a Winchester 1892 and had some concerns with some bullets OAL as well as their seating depths using full length brass. Placement of some bullet crimp grooves seam to put the bullet either seated below the neck or sticking out of the case too far, creating a cartridge length that will be too long to reliably cycle through the gun.
Just wondering what bullet and what firearm you are using. I'm Looking at the 60 gr 25-20 bullet they produce, it seems to fill the requirements nicely

Was also researching the 32-40 in a Winchester 1894 and have similar cocerns with cartridge OAL
(Using reformed Starline 38-55 brass and looking at arsenals 32-40 165gr mold)
Don't care much for a beveled base though and don't know if they would make it in a plain base version.

Update: still shooting the 359-130-RF and have settled on 3.9 grains HP-38 at 1.072. Nowadays I size them to .358 just to keep it simple, might try them in .38 Special sometime for fun. Great mold and great boolits, my next one is going to be the 358-100-TC for my .380's.

Yep since my last post here I added two more Arsenal molds to the collection a 311008 .312" 124gr and a 379449 .381" 280gr. Both are 4 cavity molds and I'm very happy with them. The 311008 is being used in a Stevens #44 in .32-20 and the 379449 is being used in a Winchester 1885 high wall in .38-55 both with excellent results.
