Got a new mould today, and I'm happier than a puppy with two... well, I'm pretty danged happy! The 429421 is not exactly a new mould for me -- I had a single cavity back a quarter century ago, but I traded it for something else somewhere along the way, 'cuz the one at a time dealie was getting to be a drag. I've had her gaschecked big brother 429244 forever, but I've been wanting another 421 and here she is. Took 17 drops to get here; drop 16 looked good, but there was an air void in the sprue of the back cavity, so we tried again. Weighing a pudgyish 254 and measuring .4315 and .4330 out of an abomination WW/Range Scrap/dash of tin alloy that was already in the pot. Lookit them big square grease grooves!
I may put these two in my jammie pocket and dream happy dreams of dropping big silver pills tonight.
