Whats wrong with you? Are you broken? where the heck are the pictures? What caliber did you get, what are you shooting it from, where is a picture of a finished boolit? Get it together before you post.:kidding:

Got to wait for pics, camera dead. To answer the other questions a 50 cal 450gr GC SWC for my S&W 500. Behave and I'll post a target in a week or so when I can get to the range

I have Accurates 48-420S for my .480, but mine is aluminum. I prefer brass or steel but it does make a nice boolit. I hope my next Accurate will be brass. I am really considering the 45-325V for my heavy .45 colt solids.

What alloy did you use for the S&W 500's?

Those are water drop wheel weight at about 16 bhn. Got lots of isotope lead at about 12 bhn that I think I will be ok with when I get gas checks. Everything is an experiment with the 50 and the reloading log is going to get some extra pages in it. Lots of info out there but I use that as starting points to find what I like and then to fine tune the load to the gun and myself. That's a 450 gr mold I posted and I got a 325 and a 600 coming.

I just received my first Accurate Molds Mold. WOW!!!!! Absolute beautiful. I opted for a brass mold since I love the way Brass casts. Tom puts out an excellent product that should last a lifetime. My castings dropped from the first fill ans I was casting perfect pills on the fourth fill. That is really nice with a brand new mold.

There seems to be no break in time required for these molds.

My .401 Powermag mold had good boolits dropping out as soon as the mold warmed up.

The sprues also cut off quite easily with Tom's sprue plate.

You guys are killin' me... I got my first Accurate Mold 2 days ago; an aluminum 3-cav, 31-235B... One week from order to delivery for me, too... and I love that I can "have it my way"... I really look forward to using this mold, but haven't had time to fire up the pot yet...
