    First Perfect Pair!

    Got a new mould today, and I'm happier than a puppy with two... well, I'm pretty danged happy! The 429421 is not exactly a new mould for me -- I had a single cavity back a quarter century ago, but I traded it for something else somewhere along the way, 'cuz the one at a time dealie was getting to be a drag. I've had her gaschecked big brother 429244 forever, but I've been wanting another 421 and here she is. Took 17 drops to get here; drop 16 looked good, but there was an air void in the sprue of the back cavity, so we tried again. Weighing a pudgyish 254 and measuring .4315 and .4330 out of an abomination WW/Range Scrap/dash of tin alloy that was already in the pot. Lookit them big square grease grooves!
    I may put these two in my jammie pocket and dream happy dreams of dropping big silver pills tonight.

    I saw this in a cartoon once. I'm pretty sure I can pull it off...

    Th-ems some good looking boolits...one of my favorite molds. I have a 6 banger and just cast around 500 of them. I think they will last the summer, but who knows may have to cast some more in the fall.

    Did anyone else besides me think of something entirely different when you read 'perfect pair' ?

    Yes. I'm so disappointed.









    I was expecting a matched set of Colt 1911s

    Nice!!!

    Glad to see you're back in business with the 429421's. I did the same thing with selling a mold years ago & finely got back to casting them again this year.

    What a great boolit!!! Easy to cast, easy to load & excellent accuracy with multiple powders in the same firearm.

    Enjoy.

    Always nice to see a 429421 but I was hoping for something a little better. More in the round nose design maybe????/beagle
