OK...so here is the problem: virtually all my moulds are Hensley & Gibbs moulds. I am a casting snob - I admit it. Anyone that has ever sat down and cast thousands of bullets with a well tuned Hensley & Gibbs 4-6-8 or 10 cavity H&G moulds knows of what I speak.
But now I have been gifted a pristine 1924 manufactured Savage Sporter in 25-20 and cannot wait to cast for it. I have brass 300 reformed 32-20 by a vendor sponsor here GRUMPA (RIP sir) and 150 or so proper headstamp 25-20, dies, and a caliber conversion.
I also was gifted a box of Old Western Scrounger 25-20 loaded ammo.
I will watch for the H&G #5 if one ever becomes available.
But to shoot it now, it looks like the Arsenal mould # 257283 60 Gr FN bullet is the one to use for cast.
The question is brass or aluminum?
I have always used iron moulds. Given the mould can be purchased in brass or aluminum, which would you buy and why?
Your thoughts are welcomed.
