I am considering an order of a 429352 mold from Old West Bullet Moulds. It is my understanding that a couple of years ago there was a group buy of this mold, so probably quit a few of you have and used this mold that was made with this particular chery.
It is also my understanding that the mold throws a 0.433” diameter boolits from 20:1 or 16:1 alloys (that I use). With the exception of a S&W 696 (0.428”) all my nominal 44 caliber revolvers have throats of 0.433” (seventies and eighties vintage S&Ws). My question is: should I take a chance and buy this mold, or should I order a larger size mold (0.434”) from a different source?
Also, what is your experience shooting this boolit (from this particular chery) from older S&Ws with throats at the 0.433” range?
