I just received my new mold for a 300 grain HP bullet from Mihec (Mp-molds). What a work of art! I couldn't wait to try it out and was very impressed with the fit and function of this mold. One thing that caught my eye right off was the thickness of the sprue cutter...it looked to be close to 1/4 inch...impressive! This mold also came with extra clips to hold the HP inserts, a top punch, and lubricant for the sprue plate.

Here's a pic of the mold:

It took a little while to get the lead up to temperature enough to throw an unwrinkled bullet but once it go going, the bullets came out great.

Here's a pic of some fresh from the mold:

Each bullet came out very consistant at 295 grains and .434 inches:

Now for the big question...anyone have any load data using 2400 or Unique for this bullet? I have a couple that I'm working on but could always use more opinions.

I'll post a range report once these are loaded and fired.

What kind of lube are you using?

I use a home made lube....basically parrifin and vaseline and a crayon for color. Simple and works great.
