OK a couple questions then on the HP molds
I assume there will be a price deduction going to a 3 cavity Brass mold instead of a 4 cavity ?
Are the Penta Pins going to be included ?

If so I am still down for a 3 cavity NO lube Groove HP brass Mold with all Pins

[MiHec]

Yes. Price will be lower than for 4 cav mold.

Too small (nose diam.) for penta pins, sorry.

p.s. belive me - you will be faster with 3 cavity mold than with 4 cavity one (speaking about HP molds)

[Gamsek]

I had a privilege to play with Miha’s test mold, 8cav aluminium-got a pile of them very fast, no sticking zero problems. I used ww alloy, Hornady GC, got 214grs. GC were tight so I recommend to GC first and PC after. Sized to .3104”. After loading them for a test I realised how well designed is this one. It can be PC and it works, no staggering. Crimped gently with FCD into crimp groove COL=57mm. It feed flawlessly from Ruger Ranch magazine into chamber.
Smokes PC

I took it that all 4 cavity molds were now going to be only 3 cavity. So why change the order?

right. all 4 cav hollow point will be automatically 3 cavity.
Solid molds are 4 and 6 cavity.

confirming I wanted to stay in after asking 2 questions
one answer was positive and one was negative

Good stuff. Can't wait for the HP version to be done.

I have an older run of the 180 grain silhouette bullet that is a great shooter and also a 3 cav block. It is indeed fast to cast with. I always viewed this bullet with the taper, nose style, and meplat as an overgrown version of that bullet... which is why I want it.

If it's not too late I'd like in on this.

So this is going to be a 3 cavity? I am OK with that.

[JimP]

What's the COAL when loaded like that?

[mto7464]

he states 57mm

[Gamsek]

Seated to crimp groove, COL=57mm I really think this one is very well designed, not protruding into powder space, not to fat after PC, stacks nicely into magazine, feeding from RARanch magazine great.

My first function test shoots 14days ago were with 6grs of TrailBoss, pistol primer, but I got only 260 m/s so yesterday I tried with 7grs of TB (slightly compressed) and with various crimps (gentle to heavy I got 280-300m/s). Another batch was 12grs of N120 (small rifle primer), got 350m/s. I think not bad and after I adjusted my gentle grip, groups shrank instantly. One good group of 8 shoots was without GC and heavy FCD crimp. Velocity variation only 298-300 m/s. Very constant.
7grs of TrailBoss.
P.S.
I have no doubt that with some load development, different powders, primers...etc....and attaching GC before PC, results would be even better.

[JimP]

he states 57mm

He does, doesn't he? Don't know how I missed that.

57mm ~= 2.24"

[Drew P]

Does this mean we are finally getting close on this one?!

Not to derail the subject, but why pistol primer on those? I thought magnum rifle was preferred to get good even ignition on smaller loads

Yes, as I saw on MP Molds FB page, cavities are cut, solids are done, waiting on pins for HP moulds. I am looking forward to get my 3 cav brass HP!

Pistol primer: with fast burning powder (N310, Unique, Fiocchi Frex Yellow (Lovex S020), Cheddite Granular S Fino (Vectan) and 4.5-7grs, pistol primer work great for those light loads. My standard loads are 7grs TrailBoss for 130grs MP 311410 (360 m/s), 6grs of TrailBoss or 5.2grs of S020 for MP 312-159 Hunting (320m/s), pistol primer. Some people as Speer’s Alan Jones got better results in .22 Hornet with pistol primers, some others (John Barsness) haven’t saw any difference. Try it with chronograph. With heavy FCD crimp I shoot 8 shoots over chronograph and there was 3 m/s variation only between the shoots. 297-300m/s. Those. No GC

[RED333]

Good report Gamsek, thanks much. Now that is out of the way, cant wait (but will) for the invoice and than the long wait for shipping.

[Tmaloy]

Honcho, is it still possible to update my request to a 4 cavity solid PB brass instead of the 6 cavity? I would like to do so please.

When you go to checkout make sure you put the 6 in the cart. I’m changing you on the GB.
