I would be in for one. What is the status of this buy. I had to check the 3rd page to find this buy.

This buy is a go. We have a place in line and are simply waiting our turn.

I would be in for the the RN, not the SWC. It has to feed in my Win M92.

I'd be in for one. but need .434 diameter.

**denul** · 07-23-2009, 08:09 AM

I'm with Hiram and several others about the RN , and understand that another thread was under way regarding that mold. With apologies for the intrusion on this thread, I was wondering if there was enough interest in the other design to proceed.

**only1asterisk** · 07-23-2009, 10:24 AM

I think there is adequate demand for a RNFP. There is a thread for a gaschecked RNFP that didn't quite make the numbers here: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=52712

It did get about a dozen votes in the big poll. Maybe it could be reworked slightly to increase demand or maybe more people would prefer a plainbased design.

Nothing to do but run it up the flagpole and see who salutes.

Happy to hear we are on MiHec's list for this one !

I have my money in my hand and waiting for him to post the Group Buy info on his website!

Jerry,

If you haven't already, you need to do a little how-to on taking pictures like that.

The design of the above bullet would not feed reliably in my M92 because the front band is like a ridge to get hung-up on. The other design had a smooth curve to full diameter.

Put me down for one of post #13, for the .44 Special; I like the Mihec HP molds.

Having completed my reading assignment , I also created a new thread for those (like me) who are also interested in a Mihec mold based on post #3 of this thread.

I am still interested in this one, once it gets going.

Just bumping this thread.

**Gunsmoke** · 08-07-2009, 01:09 AM

I am interested in the SWC design as in post 13, either as a solid or HP.

**kbstenberg** · 08-07-2009, 08:45 PM

Has a decision been made on any of the specifics. The picture on post 13 for the bullet. How about mold material, # of cavities, GC or not , cost.
I just got my computer back after the lightning damage so i am behind a little

**captaint** · 08-08-2009, 09:56 AM

Please put me down for one unit, brass, two cavity with HP pins. One of these days I'll have to stop and count how many molds I have on order. I think it's 4 or 5. Wow. Wonder if Lyman is paying attention?? Enjoy Mike

**archmaker** · 08-25-2009, 01:51 PM

Bump,

**45nut** · 08-25-2009, 05:32 PM

Is this an active buy thread or an interest thread?

**denul** · 08-25-2009, 05:48 PM

I believe we were waiting for Miha to accept it, but I'm not sure that happened; did anyone contact him?

**archmaker** · 08-26-2009, 09:38 AM

Looking through the post it appears that only1asterick has contacted MiHec and we are inline for this mold (post #70 and #82) but other than that there has been no other comments.

I just looked on MiHec website and it appears this is in his list of upcoming group buys.

**only1asterisk** · 08-26-2009, 10:47 AM

Money isn't being collected yet, but we are in line. MiHec will announce when he is ready to begin taking money.
