Christmas came real early

I bought the test mold Miha had of the Brass 4 cavity HBWC 38 mold. Payed for it the 20th of Dec and it came today:drinks:
It is a work of art.

Anyone else buy one?
If so how does it cast?

I would love to see a picture of that mold and/or boolits!:smile:

Thank you kindly,

Frank

I have the same mold. You are going to like it. It was the first mold I casted with and along with the advice from this forum made some good bullets and had a blast!

OH WELL, GOT THE PICS, CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TO UPLOAD BIGGER

I've had mine for awhile. It is SO GOOD that I bought the 44 caliber version. My current load is 3.0 of TITEGROUP in 357 brass, used in Original Size VAQUEROS.

Since I don't have a casting thermometer, temperature is "by the dial" on my LEE Magnum Melter...a ladle cast pot. Brass moulds, especially the hollow base or hollow point versions, seem to need a hotter alloy. Make sure the hollow base pins, as well as the sprue plate, are up to temperature...a lot less rejects when everything is HOT!

Clean everything thoroughly and apply the mould lube to the hollow base pin AND the two pins that slide through the mould per the instructions. When the mould is upright to fill, I want the slider pins on the left. Fill the mould; cut the sprue; tap the handle bolt; flip mould upside down and open. IF the boolits stay in the cavity, gently tap the slider pins into the mould block.

I'm waiting in the 434640 holow point mould...the LYMAN solid is a good performer in both the VAQUEROS and my Cowboy rifles...just don't need gas checks.
