New pin for 429640 HP mold!!

[kevmc]

I just finished making a pin to cast solids with my 429640HP mold.......
Can't wait to cast with it and see what I've got!!
I'm guessing it'll be ~295 grs with GC on.
If it shoots like the HP version does, should be awesome!!!!
Meplat is .290 (68%), should make quite an impact on whatever is on the receiving end!!

Post photos of your handiwork and the new bullets? ;) ;)

It's a Lyman mold, I believe fairly new.....

Well, that weren't hard!!!
Haven't mounted a handle just yet, want to cast a few and see if I need to shorten the end at all first.

Old and the New!!
solids are 282 naked.....Hp's are 273 fully dressed.
Pin is .290 dia, but cast bullets look like maybe .300 Meplat
