I noticed this for sale on evil bay. I have no part in this item, just thought some here may be interested. Listed today. This mold and some copper jackets that are placed in the mold and the bullet is cast in it. Dale

I've heard about those since the short lived P&C Co. introduced them 30-35 years ago. I'd only shoot them in a top break of some sort because of the nasty rumors about cores shooting loose and leaving the jacket stuck in the barrel. I'd take that chance if I could readily glance through the barrel before reloading, but not otherwise.

Jackets are said to be readily made by cutting 3/8" straight refrigeration tubing to lenghth in a lathe, and not so readily with a tubing cutter. I remember that those who played with them tried various methods of soldering the core to the jacket.

I also remember passing up a set of barrels for my Valmet 412 in .375 Win o/u. Price was $160, as I recall.
