Greetings Fellow Booliteers,
In our quest for the easiest casting, most consistent, cheapest loading and head shot accurate loads that we can crank out from our home labs we are always looking for the best we can find.
I was bothered by the fact that one of my molds dropped small no matter what alloy I tried and in fact sent a very respectful email to MIHEC this morning expressing my displeasure.
I had some HG503 cast and coated...BUT UNSIZED mic'ed at .4319 consistently. I loaded them up and like magic...I put the first 6 of 10 rounds in the same hole and the next 4 within a half inch of the main group at 50 yards. For the guys who shoot at Wake County Firearms Training Center...I asked for the range to go cold to take this photo.....I should have stopped at 6 shots.
Load info:

Mihec...Im sorry for my passive aggressive rant over my mold dropping small. And thanks for retiring all of my low powder volume 44 Magnum molds.
What are your thoughts???
Thanks for looking.
Bluejay
