    Paul Jones and Rapine also retired. Happy that I bought several from each. PJ molds on eBay are now going for $200 plus ... money in the bank

    Wow, I must have one of his last molds. Maybe a month ago I bought a 45 full wadcutter 3 cavity from him. It casts beautifully and the boolits are quite accurate. Well done Dan and may you have a fantastic retirement.

    Yes, I have that one sitting on my shelf. I may have to clean off the oil and make some boolits with it.

    I'm sorry to discover this. I just went there looking for a 6.5 mold and discovered that the site is defunct. Hope someone else picks it up; I have a semi custom .476 mold from Dan and really like it.

    I couldn't figure why Dan's site was not available; even posted that question yesterday here. I was looking to design a RN design for some "longer" distances. Anybody have one?

    He made a custom 405gr, 80%Meplat, bore riding, .462" pill for my Marlin Microgroove. When Alox lubed it never leaded & sized to .461" nicely.

    Thanks for your skills Dan. Now where?

    Heck, I'm watching $20 single and two cavity Lee molds soar to over $100 on Ebay. It's a joke. Many of them are listing in their descriptions that Lee has discontinued making many round ball molds. Hopefully just a marketing ploy to drove up costs.

    So who IS still making molds these days?

    I'm happy for Dan......but sad for us. Kicking myself for procrastinating and not ordering some MM molds for my .44mag Rossi R92. Today I tried to go to Dan's site to design and order the molds. No dice. Missed it by two weeks........

    I loved his website. His molds and shipping speed were top notch. Real easy to chat with too

    Since MM was so popular, his business model might morph onto . . . NOE? They make great molds but custom user designs make for expensive projects. If it isn't a CB Group buy, the cherries won't get made. Good for Dan retirement wise, his reputation will be as big as the best of the mold makers of old. H&G being one of them.
