Buckbuster 12 gauge slug

[newcastter]

I’m interested in one of these molds.

I own one of the Noe 525 sabot slug moulds. I'm a big fan of Noe products, tooling and moulds and am a thousand dollar club member more than two times over. That said, I don't really care for the HB pin arrangement. It's the same as Noe uses for their HP moulds and requires special supports so the mould slides easily under the spout if you use a bottom pour pot. I use wooden 4X4s cut to various heights and a tile set on top. The biggest complaint about this pin arrangement is that it puts a lot of side pressure on the skirt when you open the mould and if this is done before the slug is totally set it cracks the skirts with associated problems mentioned in other posts (look out chronograph) I prefer the pin the Russians use on their slug moulds but that does limit it to a one cavity mould. Gp

I would be in for one of these slugs molds.
I am also looking for a bore rider slug mold.
Thanks

Will send to 45.2.1 to do the design and request it run at 15 molds with MP Molds.

Never a bad idea
Could you mention a smaller HB pin for a stronger slug option
I am intetested in best possible accuracy
Regardless, thank you

Thank you bluejay75. I think we can get 15 signed up pretty quickly. Gp

Definitely request multiple base pins please.

Go the shotgun casting section, we can help you there.

Here is what I'm seeing, 15 is no problem.

Yeah, I like the Cramer style HP/HB moulds myself and the Lee centering pin system as well. I think Brooks does a system like Lee but with sliders.

I'd even go single cavity with pin like the Lyman or Russian moulds but given the option a Mihec Cramer style 2 cavity is my preference and in brass is possible but I guess I'd go aluminum on this one if that is the choice.

I've likely said all that before but I'm getting old so I can repeat myself and not feel too bad... that and forget where I left things! Wait... what was I saying? Where did I leave my beer?

I'm in regardless. Wait what are we buying?

Turbo or buck buster design. Bob is already working on this. I personally like the turbo.

[jmort]

You and me both

[longbow]

The Turbo is a full bore design isn't it?

I modeled my push out mould off the scaled down turbo 10 ga. drawing. It has no lube grooves/driving bands but is the same overall design and HB pin. It casts well and shoots reasonably well though it is slightly undersize in my single shot. I have knurled some up to 0.735"+ then sized back to 0.733" to suit that fat bore but haven'at managed to find time to shoot them yet! Now that I have the Mossberg Slugster smoothbore with 0.730" bore they should be perfect fit as cast but as above! I got to get to the range!

I could go either way I think but still lean towards the Mihec Cramer mould and since this is msm's suggestion thread I am good with his Buckbuster slug. So I guess that means I'll stick with the msm thread and Buckbuster clone if it goes this way. I think he has enough interest for it to get a group buy together.

If a turbo clone design gets run that should be another group buy... and I might get on that one too!

He can scale it down to those specs. Just need a consensus.

I like the slug posted in post #1 except I'd like extra pins so one could vary the balance and skirt thickness. I like the step in the nose for a spot to set the crimp also the strait side is a plus. Gp

[jmort]

The Turbo pin is a bell like pin what provides for thicker skirts and much more accurate slugs
This is not a full bore design.
The skirts need to be .12" plus minimum

[newcastter]

Buckbuster for me please.

[gpidaho]

I like both of the moulds and might even buy one of each but as this started out as msm's buckbuster group buy I'd like to see the buy run for the buckbuster first and them move on to the turbo. That said I'm in however this group decides . Gp

[jmort]

The Turbo Bell Pin is not a slug in this context
It is merely a pin design
Not sure how to make it any more clear
This is for the BuckBuster slug per the O/P
45.2.1 is finalizing the design so Miha can make it
These group buys can be brutal
Everyone should be really happy
Looking like one of the fastest MP group buys requiring a pin in recent memory
:-


BTW
A fullbore slug with a Turbo Bell Pin would be super cool
In a seperate buy later on
Something that hits like a freight-train

[gpidaho]

Thanks for the clarification jmort. Ready when you all are. Gp
