Sorry guys, gonna have to get in on the next one....
Invoices should be coming out, starting between a week and two weeks from now. Soon after, moulds will arrive in your mailbox. Soon after that, or maybe sooner, there will be a list of extra moulds. I anticipate that they will disappear fast. If you watch here (and the M-P Molds website www.mp-molds.com) closely, you probably can snag one.
If you are interested, there is a still-open group buy for basically this same mould. Same boolit design, but the mould is a Cramer-type.
http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=117271
Rather than read my thousand words of description, why not consult some pictures and this video:
http://www.youtube.com/v/sMXtwOqc1NY?fs=1&hl=en_US
Note that when you make hollow points, you tap the pins sticking out the side, and this moves the hollowpointing pins and the new boolit away from the cavity wall (where the lube grooves kept the boolit from dropping), and the boolits fall off the hollowpointing pins (which have no ridges and fairly little surface area to hold onto the boolit). Got that part?
If you turn those hollowpointing pins upside down, the same mould makes the same solid point boolits that the mould in this recently closed group buy makes. Know what I'm sayin?
Great. Now I am going to speculate a little bit (that gets it done faster than asking someone who actually knows, BTW do chime in). If you cast with that Cramer type mould with its hollowpointing pins turned upside down, I think you can skip the step of tapping on the side pins altogether. The pins aren't holding onto the boolit when they're upside down. I think you just use that Cramer-type mould the same as a regular mould, and it's just as fast and casts the same boolits as the regular mould. No extra steps.
And if you get bored or just want a snazzy-looking batch of hollowpoints, turn those pins right side up, and you've got them.

Finally got back from Florida yesterday to find the invoice from Miha. Paid him last night. Was afraid I might miss it. Dad passed away at 93 on 8-1 and I finally got the estate in shape enough so I could come home. Thanks to all on this forum for their kind words and thoughts, especially Henry.

Sorry to hear of your loss.
I handled a similar situation a few years back, and know what you have been through.
You'll enjoy the mold!
