Anything coming of this? Have you decided what kind of Groupbuy to run?
Anything coming of this? Have you decided what kind of Groupbuy to run?
Checking out the MP mold website, I don't find any WFN aka RFN boolits. I'd go for an aluminum .360 (that I could size to .358) 8 cavity in 150 gr. & I'd think a 170gr. would be great also.
The 150 would be ideal for the compact .38 spec revolvers such as the Ruger LCR & the 170 would be just right for the single actions & full size revolvers.

Its going to be a long wait for Arsenal to make some MP 8 cav molds for a group buy.
I would love to see a machine mold HP in a standard caliber at a decent price.
Something like $200 for the complete mold.
That is a $60 savings
Thanks for bringing me down to earth.
I'd settle for a 150 gr. version of his 162RF in a 5 cavity.......that size & shape would appeal to the CAS (I'm not one) + the small SD revolver guys (and for me .....good low recoil loads for my daughters to knock over IHMSA chickens @ 20-25 yds.).
Here is what I feel would be the most true to the Elmer Keith designs for a 32 caliber. This would be great in 327 federal (will not fit single seven), and 32 h&r mag, as well as being able to be sized down for 30 caliber rifles. There are a number of other SWC designs, but most are too light, and all have a short nose.
Sorry for the delay works been a zoo!
If I put up a pole for pistol, rifle, machine molds to see which way to go are you guys good with that??
I would be interested in a "pointy" 500 mold similar to the one from MP molds. Seem as this one has dry docked. Also, one for the 6.5 Grendel in the 95- 100 grn. range.
Ok guys first pole will be for what caliber range we decide to go with and then we will do a pole for design.
I could go in a couple of ways. 30 cal heavy 180gr or more, 452 PB 250gr or heavier to 350gr
