[lead_her_fly]

There have been several threads about getting this boolit but it always seem to lack steam. Well, that is all over now as we already have 15 committed buyers!

This will be a Mihec brass, 4 cavity, Cramer style HP mould. It will be a .454" or .452" as you will be able to choose.

It will have 4 pin options, each set will be $16 and are described as follows:
#1: Large ROUND HP similar to the 434640
#2: Medium ROUND HP, midway between the RCBS 45-270SAA ROUND pin and the 434640 ROUND pin.
#3: The Mihec famous Penta pins
#4: Blank pins.

This is the official diagram of this boolit:

Now, I am waiting for Miha to answer a few questions. I am sure he is busy and will get with us very soon. When he does, I will be posting his answers here.

I want to say thanks to the first 15 as we had to have their commitment before we could move this forward.

I also want to thank 45 2.1 for allowing us to use his great design. I am absolutely enamored with the 434640 and it will take a groundhog no problem @ 50 yards! :) (Check out the "results" page for my pictures there!)

[captain awesome]

So does the $120 price come with a set of pins? I am a bit unclear on that. If I were to say give me a 4 cav with the large round, and the penta pins, would it cost me $16 or $32? that's my order by the way
gocaptainawesome at hotmail dot com

[lead_her_fly]

Cap'n,
It is $16 for an extra set of pins, my friend. So, with shipping, I am figuring, $120 + $20 + $16 =$156 total.

You are added to the list, kind sir! THANKS!

All HP options in .454 - Will the pins work in this mold from the 45- 270 SAA RCBS clone?

Thanks

[lead_her_fly]

roll,

I asked Miha this question several times and the answer keeps coming back, no, they do not interchange.

[lead_her_fly]

I was asked about dimensions on this bullet as well. The crimp groove to meplat measurement is .375".

Now, if you have a firearm with a short 45 Colt chamber, that may be a problem. Or if you try to use this in a M25/625 in 45ACP or 45AR as the diameter is large at the crimp groove. In a tight throat, that can cause a problem but it can be sized to .451" to elude that problem.

As a side note, we all know what Hornady does to make OAL with their FTX bullets, right? They trim their cases shorter than SAAMI specs. If worse came to worse, and you experience this problem, you CAN shorten your cases by a bit and make it work. I doubt anyone will have to but, guns are individuals too, so........ You may want to check yours out.

FWIW

[lead_her_fly]

I forgot to mention that I do need the email addresses and official "I'll take it" from the original group as well!

Thanks folks!

Hi

I would like to here from anyone who has personally used this bullet in the 45ACP.
Both pro or con.

Thanks!

[Triggerhappy]

dutch41, with the crimp groove this may not be the best for the .45 ACP. Might look at the link below, which is a bullet designed for the ACP. That group buy is about to close, end of the week.

Thanks for the link; but I'm looking for a heavier bullet in a .454-.455 dia.
I'll keep this in mind if I want a lighter bullet in the future, "and hope it comes up again".

Thanks again.

Seems to me that this bullet is better suited for a 45 LC whereas the other thread is better suited for a 45 ACP.

Seems to me that this bullet is better suited for a 45 LC whereas the other thread is better suited for a 45 ACP.

Duke, the intent is for this to be in a 45Colt, that is for sure. I do have the other boolit too and it is GREAT for the 45ACP. As cast from straight wheel weights it throws a nice 200gr (actually weighed) boolit with a CAVERNOUS hollow point.

It also has no crimp groove and the grease groove is round. With the 454640 being a tad heavier AND the square grease groove with the crimp groove, it should perform well in just about any 45Colt out there. 45 2.1 designed it to shoot POA for most fixed sight guns.

I know that I LOVE (figuratively speaking) my 434640. This one will be a favorite too, I am sure!

Your email has been added sir!

Thanks a ton!

As for the pins, I think they are sold in sets BUT, I am going to have two sets and will only ever use one set so......... If you want one of mine, I can do that. We will talk more about that later though. Will that work?

When you get the barrels slugged, let me know what you want for pins too, please! :D

[lead_her_fly]

BUMP! Gotta keep this one at the forefront! :D

Have a good day everyone! (Subliminal message to follow: "Buy this mould!")

:D

[Humbo]

Is it possible to get this in a gas checked version? It is too long for my 45 Colt, but could be perfect with a GC in my 454.

Humbo,
Will check! Post a note in the opening post when I get an answer, sir!

You still need one of these moulds though, just sayin'! :D

Gotcha, friend! :D

If you get yours first, can I borrow it for a week or two! :D

Welcome and thanks!

[PoorGuy]

As I understand it, blank pins are ones that someone could turn down for a custom profile. Is there a possibility to order a set of flat pins? I know you can turn the other pins over for a flat nose, but I don't need a kickstand on a bullet mould and would prefer a dedicated flat nose set. Especially since this is a 4 cavity. Heck, for that matter, is a 3 cavity mould an option. Still good production volume but a bit lighter for longer casting sessions.

Thanks!

Shane

[lead_her_fly]

Poor,
No, on, um, both counts! SORRY!

Blank pins are for making flat nosed bullets and there is no 3 mould option either.

Feels like I struck out here! :D

Join anyway and get a really good mould and a great BOOLIT!

[PoorGuy]

Actually, if the blank pins are for flat nose bullets and not for making custom profiles then that's what I was hoping for. No worries on the 3 cavity, just wishful thinking. Please confirm blank pins = flat nose so I can place my order.

Thanks!

Shane

[lead_her_fly]

oops! I forgot about Poor Boy's question. As I asked earlier, and Jason Freeman was so graciously able to verify, blank pins give us a flat point. I will PM Miha and ask for sure. Sorry it took so long to get back to you! We will get it all figured out so you can buy this mould, friend! :D

[lead_her_fly]

Bump to top. I don't want this thread to get to page two! :)

[MiHec]

Blank pins are the ones, that don't stick out of the bottom of the mold, and are used for casting solids (flat nose).

I did some "blank pins" with .502-700 mold. There was possible to turn profile by your self (or cut it to lenght)

Okay, Shane, in or out? :D

[Cord]

I am interested in signing up for this 454640, I have been waiting for it!

But I am confused about the weight, because it started out the same design
as the BRP 454640, at 235gr HP and 260gr solid, and this seemed to be
confirmed in multiple discussion thread posts;
Post #9, Post #20 (by 45 2.1) , and Posts #24 , #25, #27, & #28.

Those who wanted a heavier boolit were directed to the “Ruger Only” buy.

Then at discussion thread post #30 it suddenly became 248gr HP and 277gr solid.
What happened?

I am in for sure at the BRP weight; I want to use this in both auto and revolver,
and no offense meant to NOE, but I would rather have an MP Brass Cramer.
.

[rollmyown]

Any idea when this GB will close?

[lead_her_fly]

Cord, the group decided on the original drawing provided by 45 2.1. It is in the first post in this thread. The BRP mould is no longer available, unless as a used item, I think BRP is going out of business as far as moulds go.

Since the main focus of this boolit is to get a 45 Colt HP that will shoot to POA with a fixed sight 45Colt firearm, most of them are regulated for a 255gr boolit, a lighter one just isn't in the cards for this buy. Now, there is a great group buy going on right now for the BEST boolit for the 45ACP that I have ever cast, the 200gr Cramer HP. It is being run by Trigger Happy and he has been stealing customers of mine all over the place. He even posted in this thread! (Hey, just having some fun and kidding around!)

I completely understand about wanting a Mihec brass mould. There are none better, while I am sure that there are some as good. Also, this boolit would be great in an auto. Other than having the crimp groove and maybe needing to seat it a bit deeper than normal, it would work, that's for sure!

rollmyown,
I am not sure when the buy will close. I need to ask Miha what his schedule looks like. I would like to get this mould in our hands by, at the latest, the end of October. Hunting season here in the states for deer usually starts in November and we will need to do some load development prior to going.

I know Miha is watching the thread. He may answer directly. I will send him a pm and ask though. Standby for updates.

What were you thinking? Anyone else have some input?

[rollmyown]

No specific time frame in mind. I'm always keen to get another masterpiece in the mail.

[lead_her_fly]

I just have a hard time waiting. Sorry, but, I am already casting with this mould in my mind! ;) Now, all we have to do is get it in my grubby little, well, grubby BIG hands! :D

[lead_her_fly]

A bit of an update concerning the time frame for this mould. As I said earlier, I want to try to get this into our hands for this year's deer hunting season. Well, maybe! :)


Miha pm'd me and said the main holdup on production won't be on his end actually. The folks that do the pins need to have free machine time and that is where the "bottleneck" might be. We will have to wait and see how things play out as we get closer.

Miha knows that we want to have this mould, he is committed to making it, we will have the mould, this year. Hopefully, it will be by the end of October. That is the part WE are unsure about.

How does that fit in with the rest of you folks? Too quick? Too late?

[sza]

The sooner the better for me. I'm an impatient person. ;)

[lead_her_fly]

I resemble that remark! :)

[PoorGuy]

Heck, I don't even have a .45 Colt, so whenever. Although I'm looking forward to trying this one in Auto Rim.

[lead_her_fly]

It will work well there too!

[JoeBob]

Since I am currently on the hook for 4 other mold buys, a little delay can be a good thing.

But don't hold up on my account. I like holding those pretty brass molds in my own grubby little hands too!

Thanks,

Bump...
Thanks for answering my question,
I appreciate the long explanation.
I will be thinking about this one.
.

[Triggerhappy]

This is a great bullet, I already have the 2 cavity Miha mold. Does a nice job, I can only imagine that the 4 cavity will be nicer yet. It's well worth the money. Once you've cast with brass it's hard to go back to aluminum.

As far as timing, Miha had me close three buys that I had running a few weeks ago and is currently in production on those. From what he's said it doesn't seem like there will be a holdup, so I would assume that this mold will get machined right after those already in production. Shouldn't be long.

one mold .452 with #2 HP pins. fivegunner at sbcglobal.net:bigsmyl2: best regards Frank.

[lead_her_fly]

fivegunner, you have been added sir!

[lead_her_fly]

One post away from going on the BACK BURNER! DUDE, bump! :D

[GMT210]

Please add me to the list.

1 4-cavity mold, .454 with #2 Medium pins.
markabennett at windstream dot net

[lead_her_fly]

GMT210, DONE!

Welcome to the group!

Thanks!

[lead_her_fly]

Alright my dear friends. According to the chief mould maker, Miha, this group buy is to close in 1, that's right, 1 week from today!

That is the last status I have from him. From all I know about how this system works, that mean that he is planning on having the material on the mill around that time. Invoices to follow to your email address in the first post.

Please review them, make sure I didn't let my dyslexia get in the way ( :D ) and let me know if I need to make any adjustments.

Just to let you all know, I am really excited to be getting this mould. The 45 2.1 "640" design quite possibly could be the best thing out there for any caliber. Of course, that is just my opinion!

Really, what I like when I show off my 44Mag 434640 boolits is the "WOW" folks show on their faces when they see that cavernous hollow point! Impressive! I posted a picture of a ground hog that I shot with one at 50 yards from my Marlin in the "results" section on this forum. Can't wait to run this one through my Puma and my Ruger 45 Convertible!

I currently have the Mihec 45-270SAA clone, and yes, it is a wonderful boolit too. I just like the roundish flat point design better. Just me, and YMMV along with your opinion, and that is fine!

At any rate, I am excited to be getting this soon. Hunting season is right around the corner!

[dutch41]

I'll take one. 454 dia. Pins wanted #1, #2 and #4.
sptien ruraltel net

Thanks.

Scott

[chuckbuster]

I guess I better get one of these.
.454 Dia, #3 PENTA pins and #4 Blanks

chuckbuster at hotmail dot com

[lead_her_fly]

Dutch and Chuck, you folks have been added! Sorry, at the gun show all day today and didn't have time to get you added before this!

[lead_her_fly]

Okay folks! This group buy is going to close in 3 days! I am not sure when we are getting on the machine as of yet, I will pm Miha to get that information and keep everyone posted. I think we have done well, hopefully, a few more will join us!

Thanks to all of you who "jumped on this bandwagon"!

God Bless!

[lead_her_fly]

This buy will stay open until Tuesday, 10/25/2011 @ 0600 EDST.


Those of you that are sitting on the fence better "fall" on this side QUICK or you will have to wait for a rerun! haha

[rxp46]

Put me on the list
.454 dia and all the pins

[lead_her_fly]

rxp, You are #35! Oh, to see 35 again! hahaha

Thanks and welcome to the group!

ONLY HOURS LEFT TO GET ON BOARD THIS ONE! COME ON FOLKS, THERE IS STILL TIME AND ROOM! :)

[wdr2]

I'll take one mold:

#1 large pins and #4 flat nose pins, .452 dia

wrichins at gmail dot com

[lead_her_fly]

Bill,
You have been added sir! Thanks and welcome aboard!

[lead_her_fly]

Anyone happen to notice that I left this open for an extra day? :D

Right!

THIS GROUP BUY IS CLOSED!

[lead_her_fly]

In all reality, this is just a bump to the top! I know this group by is closed BUT, I just wanted to keep all those folks that signed up for this mould to be reminded that they (WE) have an outstanding obligation! :D



And, hopefully to make the time go by faster until we get this puppy! ;)

[lead_her_fly]

Miha pm'd me and let me know that material is ready, waiting on cherry. He also said that pins are an issue again. Seems that it takes longer to get them now. Each mould does have more options for them so there are more to make for each group buy. (That is my observation, not his)

I wanted to take this boolit to the field in my Puma M92 this year but it doesn't look like that is going to happen.

That's okay 'cause I can take it's little brother, the 434640, in my Marlin 1894 in 44Mag. Here is what THAT bullet did from it @ 100 yards:
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r115/Sackettwannabe/Boolits/44%20Caliber/0827111611.jpg

Just a word of advice if you are shooting the 434640 in a Marlin; don't use your Lee Factory Crimp Die. If you can, seat and crimp in separate steps using a standard seating die in both steps or, and I just saw these; Ranchdog collet crimp die. Now that is a tool I am going to have to get! ;)

[micky_blue]

sold my 45 colt so I have to back out on this one.

thanks

[captain awesome]

I believe i failed to mention the diameter I am after, 454 please. if it was not already assumed.

[x101airborne]

Is there any chance I may take Micky Blue's place? 454 diamater all pin options. x101airborne at yahoo dot com.

[lead_her_fly]

Cap'n,
I fixed your order sir! :D

x101,
You are in that spot, sir!


ALL:
I have been on Miha for a report, he must be swamped or has no news. As soon as I have it, you will!

Thanks folks!

Hunting season is almost over here. Maybe next year! Or, I guess maybe during muzzle loader season in a sabot! Now, anyone done that yet? I wondered how it worked!

Anyone have any input?

[lead_her_fly]

Okay, just got the update from Miha!

He said that he will be machining this mould in December and ship in January.

So, it looks like we have a little bit of a wait. Hang in there friends! We will have this boolit for next deer season!

Anyone shoot the 460Mag or 454Casull? Thinking of using this boolit for it?

[0verkill]

No, but I have given some SERIOUS consideration to getting a 454 Casull, probably a Super Redhawk or a Rossi carbine. This bullet would seem to be a great match with that cartridge. Maybe once I get the mould in hand it will be enough to push me into getting a 454.

[lead_her_fly]

Well, it seems that we are either buying guns for moulds we want/have or the other way 'round!

hahaha

I did put the 45-270SAA into a sabot yesterday to see how it would fly out of my Encore 209X50 Magnum barrel. I was surprised to say the least. Minute of clay pigeon @ 100 yards with open sights! Can you say WOWSERS? Well, I did and AM! (So did the other guy that was at the range!) :D

[chuck4570]

If it is not too late I would like to add the medium pins to my order

[lead_her_fly]

If it is not too late I would like to add the medium pins to my order

Chuck, Miha got with me and he said no problem. I will make the change to the first post.

Thanks for being patient. Lots of miles between supply and demand! ;)

[chuck4570]

Thanks!

[lead_her_fly]

Thanks!

Chuck,
My pleasure, friend! :D

[lead_her_fly]

Getting anxious! :D

[Matt_G]

Has Miha started machining these moulds yet?
If he hasn't, and if he has the material and is willing to allow me to join, I would like to get in on this one.

.454 dia
One set of large round pins.
One set of blank pins.
matt (at) goodrichfamilyassoc (dot) org

I realize I am probably too late to get in on this.
If so, them's the breaks...

[bld451]

If you're too late for the buy, email Miha directly. He will sometimes have over-runs or molds for people who can't finish the deal.

[lead_her_fly]

Matt, sorry to be so long in getting back to you. As bld451 has said, please send either a PM or email to Miha.

Also, if you would, please send me a PM.

[GMT210]

Lead her fly,

I'm #32 on the list, I'd like to add a set of blank pins.

Thanks

Mark

[bld451]

Lead, any news? I'm starting to get itchy. Got $$ ready to jump out of my paypal acount! Hoping to have it before cabin fever sets in. :o)

[lead_her_fly]

I have a private message into Miha. No response back yet. Soon as I have something, I will be sure to post it! Keep asking though!

[lead_her_fly]

Okay, the "woid" (word) from the "boid" (bird).


Sorry for late reply.
I have to machine 45 collar, makarov, hg68 HP, and 32 acp HP first.
Next is 454640. It is really hard to tell exact date.

I hope it helps some ;/

Will let you all know more when I get info!

Hang in there! ;)

[GMT210]

Lead her fly,

I'm #32 on the list, I'd like to add a set of blank pins.

Thanks

Mark

Lead her fly, please update the pins on #32.

Thanks

Mark

[hbulle13]

I would like to buy one of these as well!
Large Pin and 5 sided pin.

[lead_her_fly]

Mark, I finally got it done! Blank pins are added to your order!



Hbulle13, I am sorry but this group buy has been closed for a while now. If you would like one of these moulds, please pm Miha directly as he usually makes a few extras. There is a post back up the way somewhere where Miha told me to close it. If you get no response from him, let me know and we will try to work something else out. I hate to say this next part but; there are times when folks drop out of a group buy and their mould may become available.


Maybe I should start a second part of the first post for "back-up" buyers.


What do you other folks think about that?

[Cowboy T]

This is gonna totally rock when these are done.

[lead_her_fly]

That's what i'm sayin'! :)

[chuckbuster]

My 4.2" Redhawk is getting "hungry"......

[lead_her_fly]

My 4.2" Redhawk is getting "hungry"......

I hear you brother! I hear you! Soon, I was told there was a line ahead of us. Will check into it and see where we are! ;)



Dude, we NEED this mould! :D

[lead_her_fly]

Okay, the H#G#68 HP is now closed. I need to check on the 32 caliber boolit mould and see where that one is. It would seem that this one should be on the machines soon!

I am ready to get these into my Puma too! :D

[lead_her_fly]

This is the latest word on the moulds, folks!



I will put it on the machine after HG68 (185gn), makarov and 32 acp. If all goes well it will be end of Januar.


Take heart, men! It will be soon! (If you are like me, not soon enough! hahaha)

[0verkill]

Lead_her_fly, could you change my email in the first post from hotmail.com to peoplepc.com. Had problems making a payment from hotmail yesterday (don't know why) and don't want to take a chance on having complications paying for this mould.

[Von Dingo]

I missed the boat when this was active, but would like to be in line for any extra/dropouts/ect.

Prefer .454, with Medium ROUND HP, and Penta pins.

marc under score montpetit at hot mail dot com

I know, I know, hate being that guy.

Von,
Do me a favor. Drop Miha a pm and tell him quickly. He may have enough material to "make" an extra on purpose. You never know!

Metro Detroit, hey.

Spent some time there in the '70s. went to school in the 'burbs just north of 8 mile road. Live for a bit near Livernois and McGraw too.

Seems like an eternity ago! ;)

[Von Dingo]

Will do LHF,

"went to school in the 'burbs just north of 8 mile road"

That's "kinda" vague....

"Livernois and McGraw", know where Livernois is, not so much McGraw.

[lead_her_fly]

Vague on purpose! :)

Ferndale, Hazel Park, Oak Park..............

Livernois & McGraw? One block north of 94 and just a few blocks north of the river. DOWN there! ;)

The street is named Gladys. MAN THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO! 40 years just about! WOWSERS!

[Charles2506]

any molds still available looking to get into making my own boolits and want to get the best. I shoot a 45 vaquero and want large hollow and penta pins. what size would be best .452 or .454 and possibly have to size down. thanks for the info.

[lead_her_fly]

Charles,
The size matters but only as it applies to your specific firearm. We do what we call "slugging" to find out what size we need. On the forum here, there should be some kind of instructions on how to do that.

I would imagine though, if the Ruger is of late manufacture, it would be .452". At this point, there are no extra moulds and if there would happen to be any on this run, they are kind of spoken for.

Keep watching on the other group buys for 45 caliber moulds. There will be some running almost all of the time...............:)

[lead_her_fly]

This is the latest word on the moulds, folks!



Take heart, men! It will be soon! (If you are like me, not soon enough! hahaha)

Well, it is February NOW!!

Can hardly wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[smilie=w:[smilie=w:[smilie=w:[smilie=w:[smilie=w:[smilie=w:[smilie=w:

[Charles2506]

is there a chance to get a group buy for this same bullet in the near future

[lead_her_fly]

Charles, I can start another thread just as soon as you and others like. Say the word, I'll got r did! :)

[Charles2506]

What would the ship dates be if we get this going

[Charles2506]

This is similar to the lyman mould 452664 if so count me in for one with all pins .452

[fivegunner]

:Fire:Bump Bump

[Cowboy T]

The Super Redhawk 454 anxiously awaits!!

[Charles2506]

Can we get the next buy going on this one

[GLL]

Charles2506:

PM Miha directly and indicate that you would like to buy a mold if he has any "extras" available ! He often has a couple "just in case" examples !

Jerry

[werepyr]

I can barely wait

[bld451]

I know, I know! I'm trying to be patient. Lead, any idea? My paypal finger is gettin' itchy.

[lead_her_fly]

Well, for some reason, my email updates were turned off on this! Must have been fat finger disease or something! (Technically challenged!) haha


bld, funny you should mention that! I just sent a pm to Miha this morning about schedule and all! I have been trying to let him alone so he can spend more time on the mills rather than answering by silly emails BUT, we I gave him a bump this morning. We should know something in the next day or so..............................I hope! ;)

Thanks for all the bumps! Charles, did you get taken care of by Miha? I would really like to get one of these in hand before starting a new group buy. Not that I have any doubt about quality or anything like that, they will be wonderful, no doubt. Just need to get a few reports back on how they shoot out of various firearms so we can make the next buy a little juicy to start with! ;)


At any rate, again, thanks for the bumps. Hopefully, the notifications will start again! :D

[werepyr]

Apparently I didn't pick a size I need .452

[lead_her_fly]

Apparently I didn't pick a size I need .452

Fixed! :)

[Charles2506]

yeah he is gonna try to get me an extra thanks for the help he is a nice man and cannot wait to get my hands on one of these molds got 200 lbs of lead waiting to become boolits.

[fivegunner]

I am # 31, could I add a set of Penta pins to this one??:Fire: Thank `s

[lead_her_fly]

five,
Got it did! ;)

Just so everyone knows, I sent a pm to Miha and am awaiting for an update.

After we get a few cast with one of these, and I am expecting them to turn out just like the other Mihec moulds I have, there will be another group buy started. Now that Miha is full time, the lead time should go down a bit, hopefully! ;)

[GMT210]

Lead her fly,

I am #32 on the list, please change my .454 mold to a .452.

Thanks

Mark

[JeffHolt]

Skip,
Is it too late to get in on this buy?
I'd like to get a .452 4-cav HP with Medium sized pins

Jeff AT AppalachianAmmo Dot com

[gvrj]

Is it too late too drop out? If so please take me off the list and give my spot to JeffHolt. Thanks

[lead_her_fly]

Is it too late too drop out? If so please take me off the list and give my spot to JeffHolt. Thanks

I would like to say no, but, then that would be lying and I'm not about to start that! ;)

Here is a message I got from Miha just today:



Hi,

Sorry for veeeeery late reply.

It is all in place and I will start machining this ones next week.

[lead_her_fly]

Skip,

Jeff,
I do not want to be presumptuous so, if you still want in this, just give me the word. We have one spot open now.


Thanks!

[GMT210]

Lead her fly,

I am #32 on the list, please change my .454 mold to a .452.

Thanks

Lead her Fly, as Miha is getting close to starting, please change my .454 to .452.

Thanks

[lead_her_fly]

Lead her Fly, as Miha is getting close to starting, please change my .454 to .452.

Thanks

Sorry for the delay!

DONE!


:bigsmyl2:


Soon folks! SOON!

[rollmyown]

Please add a set of blank pins to my mold. I'll pass on the penta pins if that's OK too. (now all pins except penta pins)

[TMenezes]

What is a "Penta" pin? If you.guys ever do this mold in a gas checked version I bet my brother would love to get it for his 450 bushmasher.

[0verkill]

Penta is short for pentagon. Instead of a round hollow point it is 5 sided.

[JeffHolt]

Lead her fly,
Yes I would still like to get in on this buy if I can. 452- 4 cav-HP w/ Medium pins please!
-Jeff

[lead_her_fly]

Please add a set of blank pins to my mold. I'll pass on the penta pins if that's OK too. (now all pins except penta pins)

Done!

[lead_her_fly]

Jeff, I put you in the vacant spot. Make sure the information is correct. These are supposed to be going on the mills this week!

Thanks!

[0verkill]

I'm glad no one was around to see and hear me jumping and screaming like a giddy schoolgirl when I read that.

[lead_her_fly]

Right there with you! ;)

[chuck4570]

If possible change mine to all pins please.

[lead_her_fly]

If possible change mine to all pins please.

Done sir! :D

Man, I am READY for this mould!


:Fire::Fire::Fire::Fire::Fire::Fire:

[0verkill]

I just paid my invoice for a 32 mould from Miha. It sounds like it has nothing to do with this, but I figure every bit of work Miha gets cleared the closer these are to being in our hands.

[Matt_G]

I just paid my invoice for a 32 mould from Miha. It sounds like it has nothing to do with this, but I figure every bit of work Miha gets cleared the closer these are to being in our hands.

Absolutely.
He has the 41 caliber #258 on the machine right now.

[MiHec]

Pins option for 454-640 HP

[lead_her_fly]

NOW THAT IS TOO COOL!

The master mould maker has spoken! He also sent me a PM that said these were on the machine.

So, soon, my friends, soon!

(p.s. Do those look cool or what? hahahahahaha ;) )

[gmsharps]

I am number 11 on the list and would like to add a set of flat pins along with all hollow point pins

[lead_her_fly]

Got it changed friend!

Hey, at some point, we are going to have to stop making changes. Not sure when that is BUT, once this has gone to the machine and the pin maker, I am afraid I am going to have to tell someone that they are too late in making their request.

Let me put it out there like this: After Sunday, 3/11/2012, no more changes.

Get them in by then or forever hold your peace!

;)

[0verkill]

Just make sure I get all 3 sets of hollow point pins.

[hicard]

Have you all noticed, Miha is going to town. This is the 3rd or 4th on the machine in a week or two.

[Von Dingo]

Have you all noticed, Miha is going to town. This is the 3rd or 4th on the machine in a week or two.

I'm gonna go broke!

[lead_her_fly]

I think buying moulds is gonna get classified as a syndrome pretty quick. By the way, all of us in this section are going to be test cases and are for sure afflicted! :)

[hicard]

Maybe we all need to go AAA type sessions

[lead_her_fly]

Nah, this is just a temporary thing, or phase. It will pass!

BBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

[bld451]

Aww geez , Lead. Every time I see a post on this thread from you on my user CP, I get this feeling. Close as we are, I am expecting a post from you saying "invoices are on the way", or "he's finishing them up now". In the couple seconds it takes to get to your post, my pulse quickens, my pupils dilate, I get distracted, and I can almost smell the burnt Trailboss and see big fat holes in.........oh wait. Sorry.....



Is that a problem?

[0verkill]

Nah, this is just a temporary thing, or phase. It will pass!

BBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

I actually had a friend tell me that almost 10 years ago when I started reloading and was looking into getting a C&R.

[Cowboy T]

Nah, this is just a temporary thing, or phase. It will pass!

BBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

YOU LIE!!

:kidding:

[lead_her_fly]

Sorry, Cowboy! ;)

I just heard from Miha. He said he will be posting pictures soon!

He also said he is working on this mould right now!

[MiHec]

Molds will be finished tomorrow. Then packaging.....
Expect PayPals in the middle of next week.

[Matt_G]

Looks like two Mihec moulds in one week for me.
Awesome! :mrgreen:

[lead_her_fly]

Molds will be finished tomorrow. Then packaging.....
Expect PayPals in the middle of next week.

Miha,

LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER WORK OF ART!

Man, I can hardly wait!

Probably a bit premature to start heating up the pot though, right? ;)


Thanks again Miha!

[MiHec]

First PayPals are out!

[WARD O]

Received my bill today and promptly paid it!

You can bet I'll be watching the mail in the days ahead......

[denul]

Mine came in today - looks great! I had paid for another Mihec 4 cavity 41 mold 5 days earlier; still waiting on it. This one really looks good. Probably wil be listing some other 45 molds for sale.

Got mine too. Those pins look awesome. Hey, what happened to the lube, it used to be blue? Now I've got too many Mihec moulds. I need some better boxes to store them in. Any one know of some good plastic boxes that fit these?

[Matt_G]

Any one know of some good plastic boxes that fit these?
They will fit in these.

[Von Dingo]

Got mine today. As usual, BEAUTIFUL! Well done, and thank you to all who made it happen.

[Matt_G]

Mine arrived today as well.
Beautiful, as usual Miha.
That's two moulds this week.
Thanks again. :drinks:

[ddixie884]

This is a good lookin boolit........

[chuck4570]

Got mine this morning, cleaned tonight, and ready to cast tomorrow!

[Matt_G]

This is a good lookin boolit........

You got that right. All the 640 series are.
The 359640 and the 432640 shoot great out of all my guns.
I hope this one does the same out of my 45 Colt Ruger Bisley.

[bld451]

Got mine yesterday, too. Best one yet. Couldn't wait, so I unpackaged, cleaned, lubed and got some lead ready. Cast up about 250 or so after the kids went to bed. This one had no problems whatsoever. First run and over 90% keepers! No sticking, cast at .454, nice and round, 260 grains, and the perfect length for my new model flat top .45. My 200 gr 45 HP had some issues to work through before I became really excited about it, but this one is nearly perfect right out of the gate. :)

I couldn't be happer so far. Thanks for drumming up interest, Lead! This is such a pleasure to use! Now to load and get a range report.

BLD451 (New dyed-in-the-wool Mihec man!)

[chuck4570]

Impressive from a redhawk at 1090 fps. Passed thru all three jugs and still made the large hole in 5/8 plywood. 25/1 alloy. The was the small hp. The large hp at this velocity exploded into flat pieces. Still exploded two jugs though.

What does the 432640 weigh?

[WARD O]

A second to bld451 - I ran 12# of 50% WW to 50% lead through it yesterday and got a little over 300 boolits. Using the small pins the average weight was 269 grains w/o lube. Diameter was .4545 to .4552 or about perfect as advertised. I had very few rejects and they dropped free of the mould very nicely.

Like was said, this appears to be the perfect boolit in length and weight for the new Ruger flat top Blackhawk. This is one of the nicest moulds I've worked with - and hollow points to boot!

Thanks to our honcho and thanks to our mould maker! Great product.

Next maybe someone will run one of this 640 series to fit the 32 mags?????

Get out of my head!

I think I'll shoot a PM to 45 2.1 about this.

Large HP @ 750fps. 25/1 alloy. Stopped after two one gallon jugs. This is my first bullet to expand so well @ 750fps !

[WARD O]

You don't need lots of velocity for some really nice expansion with the correct alloy do you?

Current, still running GB...............here on post#33:

of course we could have one especially for the 32-20.

[0verkill]

The different pins help with getting the proper expansion with different alloys as well. Good thing about 4 cavities and 4 different pins, I cast a few of each.

UPDATE: I'd started typing before seeing your post 45 2.1. I never thought I'd say this but I think that's too heavy. I'd be more interested in something around 100gr.

[lead_her_fly]

1000 miles from home! Daughter checked mail and said that there was a package for me but it was at the Post Office still! I said: GOT GET IT AND LEAVE IT ON THE COUNTER! I figure to be home tomorrow and get that thing fired up PRONTO! ;)

That expansion looks awesome! Good job and good to know!

I would love to see this. I have the NOE 118gr. But I would like one around 95gr - 100gr hollow pointed and plain base. Here is the NOE one http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=93293

I also think that the sledgehammer is too heavy for me. I shoot the 32 H&R and I feel the heaviest for this caliber should be somewhere around 120 grain. I think 2 Dogs sledgehammer is intended more for the 327 and 32-20s that can handle it.

I would prefer to see a boolit around 120-125 grains for a solid and 100-110 grains for a HP.

Miha will already have the HP pins designed and working after the sledgehammer buy.

I have the NOE HP version and one of the issues is getting mould nose fillout with an aluminum block and very large HP pins. Keeping the heat up in the point area of the bullet is difficult. The NOE mould also has three crimping grooves. I think one will suffice, two at the most. I think that the brass blocks will retain the heat better aiding fillout and if we size the HP pins correctly it should cast very smooth.

The NOE version does shoot very nicely and I do like it.

NOEs version was from one of my designs, BUT........ he took it upon himself to change the HP without any input from me. That is why you had trouble with the HP filling out.

There will be another 640, in the 100 to 120 gr. range, by MiHec in a brass mold.

What does the 432640 weigh?
These moulds were available in GC or PB.
Mine is a GC.
They weigh 248.5 unchecked and unlubed.
They are cast from half clip on WW and half stick on WW with 2% Sn added.

[lead_her_fly]

The 432640 weighs in at 245gr with wheel weights and the large pins in the mould.
Solid is around 290gr or so.

[lead_her_fly]

Now, on to this mould....... ;)


Got home yesterday too late to do anything but WISH!

Played hooky today (took a vacation day) and got this mould into production!

First, hot water & Dawn with a nylon scrub brush. Then, hot water rinse, as hot as you can stand or hotter, just short of boiling, and rinse completely. Pins too, at least the ones I was going to use right off the bat!

LARGE ONES!

Per-heated the mould, got the metal hot. Had about 6-8 throws that were wrinkled and after that, all bullets were good.

Oh, I forgot one part of the treatment! I use aerosol graphite, sprayed into a can lid, then applied with a Q-Tip, to the tips of the pins and their shafts.

To be honest, this mould was worth the wait. It is absolutely the best casting mould that I have gotten to this point from Miha!

Lubed and sized and empty cases are being tumbled as I type!

Pictures to follow after loading!

Thanks to all who joined in on this buy!

A great BIG thanks to Miha for making it!
