    We have waited this long. Whats a few more weeks to be assured of a mold that should last a lifetime.
    This design is extremely long and small in dia. It is hard on cherries and has already been proven to be an issue for machining.

    I am sure he wants it finished as well but as any GOOD machinist he is not going to put out an inferior product.

    I was in on this the first time, that was several years ago and it never ran.. A few more weeks is not a big deal.

    Since the solids are done I assume we are still waiting on pins. That has been the holdup for many designs.

    Agreed. Really excited to get this one. It's been a loooong time from initial concept to now, but I have no doubts it will be worth it!

    One of the most anticipated moulds in the last years I think. I have a solid already and I could see it is extremely well designed. Looking forward to get a brass HP version soon!

    Curious on what the consensus is in Lube Groove vs Smooth Sided. I generally powder coat, but almost all my molds are older style lube groove. I only have one rifle mold and it is the Lee 314-155 2R, so it is lube grooved.

    Generally, I've thought best to go with the lube groove version as a "better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it"- especially if you go to sell the mold in the future, but this time I'm questioning.

    What say you all?

    Although I powder coat or hitek almost everything I generally buy loob groove molds given the choice just because they dont seem to hurt anything and they give you other options.

    That said I have quite a few no groove molds and they are extremely fast to cast giant piles of bullets with. I ordered grooved for this one but were I to order a solid one with more cavities I'd certainly consider grooveless.

    And like you point out, most of us like to buy, sell, and trade molds. You can coat a grooved bullet but you can't lube a slick sided one very well. It limits your options.

    My thinking was, don’t need them don’t want them, love hitek and no grooves means more weight, better BC and weight shifted rearward.

    In other news, EMAIL CAME TODAY! ORDERED!!! Price went up a little, but I don’t care.

    Relatively speaking, this wait will be lightening fast! I’m so stoked this is finally coming!
    Hey did y’all notice the grooveless hp was labeled as 269gr? That’s a heavy!
