Unbelievable.
I placed my order late Saturday night - and DHL already has it moving on Sunday morning. Don't these people ever take breaks?

DHL here took 3 tries. I had to wait on the side of the road and flag down the driver.
The Hollowpoint is actually more fun to cast. I have been known to cast them even when I have plenty. I shot the new Larsen MP Mold today and it did very well.

Mal Paso means Bad Pass, just so you know.
I was going to ask if you had any more info on the Larsen mold but forgot, it looks like a pretty effective design.
I was shooting it against the 503 today and it was right there. No bags at the range to shoot from, must be on some covid list. I got a 2" 25y group easily shooting off my gun case. I have 432640s to shoot against it too but I really need a scope. And apparently sandbags too.

Right now the way I've been shooting I would be tickled with 2" groups. Will pursue that Larsen mold.
DHL is very good here where I live. As is FedEx. They mail, message and call.
Anything Post Office related is a no-no.
I like casting Mihas HP:s,too. They drop from the mold like water. Using the same mold with flat pins,solids sometimes need a tap.
One day I'll try Mihas alu mold but right now I'm going the familiar route.
Very Nice!

Hi Tek coated I'm getting .4325 bullets weighing 245 grns with penta pin. I did some serious micing and they are round.
High expectations for both my 629-6 and 29-3 are in the air.
My ... The Times Are A Changing .
Now we can only have one mould .
I'm not sure I approve of this having only one mould religion .

Petander, I have never powder coated but is .432.5 before you powder coat or after sizing?
Absolutely.
Thre was "IF" in my question to make sure everyone points out ONE 44 SWC mold only as a favorite. This worked great.
No sizing,no powder coating either. Bullet drops @ .432 as advertised.
Hi Tek is different,making a thin coat. I did two coats here,three coats might be around .4335".

It was getting dark but I managed to find time to load & shoot some of these new bullets today.
I like it - vertical spread is mostly darkness/shooter.
Very very little leading,it's this barrel... but it's pretty good now. 4325 unsized snug throat fit to .431 groove barrel.
When I wanted a real Keith . I contacted Northern Valley Machine Co. in East Grand Forks Minnesota . They had all of the H&G spec's . They made me a 2 cav # 503 . A little later I contacted them again for the Keith swc for the 41 magnum , H&G 258 . I couldn't be happier . Both are great molds . Regards Paul
Here is a group I shot offhand at 25 yards yesterday with a Ruger Redhawk 2.75 inch barrel using an Accurate Molds "250 Keith" it measure 3.420Inches outside to outside 8 for 8 shots. (what I had left)
Never have slugged the barrel or cylinder throats just sized in a .429 inch size die and loaded and shot.
This wasn't the only good offhand group. Plus being 68 years old is not a help either.

Dont mean to hijack this thread but Im interested in a similar style bullet mold. Who makes those?
Im looking to cast for my Henry Big Boy. Im thinking Im going to need a gas check design because of the higher velocities in the longer barrel. Or at the minimum a powder coated bullet. I need some instruction all of my casting has been for BPCR rifles and roundball muzzleloaders.
Which route should I go for a mold in your opinion? Id like to keep the bullet weight around 240.
