    I'd love to see a pic of the paper weight and an explanation of why it is a paper weight. My guess is you won't post a pic or give a honest explanation. I do believe you will make up a story as to why you can't post a pic. I also find it very interesting that with all the offers to buy it that you still have it. I believe you are afraid there is nothing wrong so you won't sell it

    I prefer PB boolits myself.............why.......... I just do. I have a sneaky feeling you will enjoy the Accurate mold.

    Sweet looking mold. And yes Tom makes one heck of a nice thick sprue plate. I learned this week that you need to heat the sprue plate pretty good before you start casting. Then instead of needing to cool the mold once in a while, I need to cool the sprue plate. My mold would fill out great then with my alloy at 625-650f. But my cheep thermomater may be off.

    The hot plate trick works great with Tom's molds

    There are so many really good mold makers out there. I prefer though, to use either Mountain Molds or Accurate. They just seem really geared up to tailor a given mold to suit one's needs.

    If I were a tumble lube guy the bevel base would be fine. The bevel base has the advantage of sliding in the case easier and I like that option. But, I don't care for tumble lubing, not knocking it, just don't care for it. I have a Lyman #450 & two #45's. I do love those #45's the best! They're just so . . . mechanical!

    Did you give Tom a chance to make things right before you bashed his product in an open forum? I had an issue with one of my Accurate molds and all it took was one email and the problem was taken care of.
    Tom stands behind his products, hands down! He's an honest guy and if something is wrong with his products he WILL make it right. What he won't do is to put up with rude customers who have made errors in their ordering.

    Had a small problem with my mold. sent it back to Tom and he sent me a new replacement. That's what I call customer service. Thanks Tom your molds are like a work of art.
