Is it possible to get pins to make it a round nose? If so, it is just what I'm looking for.
I know it was done for a .45 design that was both HP and RN where the pins were cupped for the RN part.

I have a (perhaps dumb) question: will the mold for the 155 grain solid be a Cramer-type with a set of pins for flat boolit noses or non-Cramer type with no pins at all? Thanks.

[Balta]

It will be non-Cramer type with no pins at all...just plain mold that can"t cast HP, just solid. HP mold will cast 147 HP with hp pins or 155 SOLID ,using flat pins.

[aap2]

thanks Balta; that's exactly what I wanted to know.

[Whistler]

Can you please inquire about the extra pin set? For speed shooting competitions, the round nose is essential for fast reloads with a revolver. There is an increasing number of people using .38 Short Colt and the new 9mm revolvers (S&W 986 and 929).

It was said that there would be no round nose for the Mihec 230gn .45 HP-bullet, but everyone that ordered "all pins" got pins with a round nose cavity. I stood there with a long nose wondering why I ordered a no HP version when I could have had it all if I did.

Whistler,i have answer from Miha and sorry that option is not possible for this mold,it require different cutter..

[Balta]

Bump...

I'll take one each of the 356,.357,.358, .359 sizes, with all pins for each.

The only round nose pin option that I've seen Mihec provide for the 45 was for the 452374 (I think that number is right...). At the time it was experimental, which makes me believe that he doesn't do that often or it was a first. I did buy the mold and sold it later to create funds for a different style of bullet. I tried the round nose pin and wasn't as pleased with the outcome of lines and fins. I didn't spend much time with the mold either though, which probably has a lot to do with the outcome of the bullet. If you are truly looking for a round nose bullet I would stay with a solid mold without the extra pins. Just my thoughts.

I've never used that heavy boolit (155gr.). I'm not sure if it's for revolvers only, or for 9mm pistol as well. Any ideas? I'm looking for new mold for my CZ Shadow, and if 155gr. will work on my pistol I'd buy 2 x SOLID both in .357

[Balta]

[just_shooter]

How about that value shown in red on the picture? That's important because with so heavy boolit it's gonna be tight fit in the chamber. Hope about .35 inch. like in the other project for 135/125 gr No Lube Grove mold GB. This has to be enough I suppose.

No problem.Sorry for that ,i honcho just one GB before and this is first time i am involved in HP mold design.There is cutter and PINS that need to be made specificly for this mold,minimum order need to cover tools expenses..i gues that i miss that part in this case . Again sorry if i cause any kind of trouble..

Thanks to Balta for making the honcho inhere.
:drinks:

[Spawn-Inc]

So if I understand this correctly, the mold will be made as advertised and your just extending the gb to get more people?

[jayjay1]

Correct.

This molds are custom made as advertised.

A member of CB wants a mold, starts a fred and tries to get other members to join in.
This member leads the thread and does the whole organisation - he is called the honcho.

If there are enough, or a deadline passes by, the thread is closed and the molds will be made soon.

Advantage, you get a custom mold for a lower price, because there are 20 or more made.
Disadvantage, you have to wait until the number of customers/the deadline is reached - this can last over a year, sometimes close to two.

[Spawn-Inc]

I've done a few group buys, but just want to make sure the mold will come with the pins for hollow points. Sounds like it wouldn't come with hollow points for a second. It'd be nice to have it sooner but just gives me more time to save up.

[jayjay1]

You can have with or without hp pins.

But either way, it will have pins as I understood.

Holow Point mold will HAVE 2 sets of pins,One to cast 147 grain Holow Point bullet and another set to cast SOLID bullet arround 155 grain weight.
SOLID mold dont have any pins and cast only SOLID bullets 155 grains...
Miha can cut mold also to cast 147 grain SOLID...only SOlid.
I will close GB at end of september like i promise and send the order to mold maker-Miha...

Ok Balta,
just saw the "147 HP" in post #1 inhere, which made me a little bit unsure.

Sorry so...
:oops:

[Balta]

:violin:

[Blanco]

Hey just buy it ... You know you want it !
Even if you don't, the molds are such works of art you can just stare at them and be in awe.

[jayjay1]

Yes, I do know, am having two from him (9mm 147gr and .40 175/158/147gr. PP/HP).

But was a little confused because of.... aaaaaaawww - forget it.

A noobie question:

Will you post inhere or elswhere, when the bills are out?
:happy dance:

[jeremiah.allen1]

Miha emailed me asking if he sent me a PayPal request. I replied no and sent a couple of emails but haven't received a reply. I am just wondering if anyone else has received a PayPal request for these molds.

Nothing here either.

[jayjay1]

Nope, unfortunately.

[R1valdez]

Nothing here

[Blanco]

I think on my last mold from Miha, he sent an email and a payment request thru PayPal.
His actual business name (I think )is Kalupi Do which is what the invoice from PayPal says. You make payment and wait.
Then in about 2 weeks your lil gem will be in your mailbox.

[Spawn-Inc]

any update on emails?

[Balta]

Ok,i saw your post here a make a phone call to Miha...Give him some hard time...
Long story short.....Custom ordered pins for this mold DIDN'T arrive at time to Miha to make molds BEFORE hi took same time off and leave a country to enjoy some life.Well this can happen to any mold maker...Ok,there is not much point of making molds and not enjoining fruits of work,right??
this molds ar at priority list to be cut as soon hi get back ,in 10 days ...Hi manage to make 2 test molds,and i m gonna test this and post results next day i get them in my hands...(there also late).....
But..this molds will be well worth waiting...

cool, just was curious. i guess we can't expect him to work 24/7 lol.

[Balta]

well i promise some pictures so hiere it is...i recive 2 test molds and barely find some time to cast...
this is MP 9mm 147/154 HP
120131120132120133120134
This is MP 147 solid that can be made with same cutter...
120135120136
Well made and truly a masterpiece..I was getting form HP mold bullets that weights in average 146 grains with my alloy (around 4% Sb and 3 % Sn,Bhn around 13) ,i think that this is to hard for HP bullets but gonna make some much softer later,this was just to test mold.HP cavitiy is very deep and promise a god expansion with lower velocities,i don't think that we can push this weight fast as 125 gainers.Solid bullet form HP mold drops at 154 grain.Mold is .357 diameter and bullets drops ,as usual from MP molds, a .001 to .002 oversize.
Mp 147 solid mold drops at 146 grain, same .001 to .002 oversize..
Next thing i need to do is to coat this with some HiTek and..some secret coating i have receive for test:)

I know this is taking longer that promised but it s gonna worth...

Also ,i didn't notice any another HP mold without lube groves

[jayjay1]

Why this testing first?
:cry:
Wasn´t like this in the past.

[R1valdez]

Awesome! Can't hardly wait :bigsmyl2:

[Spawn-Inc]

from what i can gather, mihec didn't get the pins (i would have assumed he makes them in house) in time to make our molds before he went on vacation. he made 2 of them for balta to mess around with while he was/is on vacation.

I reload this just to meet minor PF,for start....I find this to be very accurate bullet. Need to devalop some loads ,cast with much softer alloy and see what expansion can get..

[Spawn-Inc]

It's been a while since I bought a mihec mold, is there a tracking number for shipping?

[Balta]

I dont think so....its shipped by national post ,and in most cases it is at door for 2 week in USA, but can take long as 4 weeks to arive.

[jeremiah.allen1]

Mihec and Balta, I received 2 PayPal invoices a couple days ago. One is for the 45 mold I paid for and received back in September. I did pay for the 9 mm HP mold last weekend. Please make sure to send the 9mm mold because I already have a your 45 mold. Thanks

Is there any way Miha is able to make 6 cavity HP molds. I would think it is possible, but you never see them unless you pay $300.00 at hollow point bullet molds. com

[Balta]

Have already discus with him about that..not in 4 cav brass block,and bigger brass block go way over being just heavy...

[jayjay1]

Oh, I have a very nice and lite 6-cav mold from Miha for the 9mm Luger here, it is in aluminium.
It has a 145 RNFP and is my favourite 9mm bullet since now.

For the heck of it, if Miha would make another 6-cav alumium mold with a heavy bullet in 9mm Luger, without lube grooves, I would be in again.
:-)

Gentlemen:
Just to let you know, the first of this molds has reached Germany.
It looks like a dang piece of art, an absolute beauty, like the other molds from Miha are.

Can´t wait to make it hoooooooooooooooot!!!

[Blanco]

Sorry
I made a mistake when I put down "hidden" e-mail
Got the Pay Pal request.
I am always happy when I get a MP mold. :bigsmyl2:

[jayjay1]

All right, I´ve casted some and they look really good.

I´ve ordered a .358" and they drop out at .3582", simply perfect!

The HP has 148gr. and the RNFP has 156gr., as heavy as possible, exactly what I wanted.
:D

But man, is this beast heavy!
After 1,5 hours of casting, I was done.
My left wrist was hurting, so I stopped.

I´ve used some handles with a wide angle (Lyman?) and will try some Lee handles next time.
Because of the weight of the mold, and the fact, that you have to turn the mold upside down (because of the pins) to drop the bullets, it´s kind of sport to cast with.
:mrgreen:

Well, I think my left arm will grow a bit next time.

I´ve seen, that the 147gr. lube groove bullets, from an older mold from Miha, fit perfect in this cavs, so I know my OAL and pewter ratios (a little less) from the beginning.
Will cast some more and coat them next week, can´t wait to let them fly.
:bigsmyl2:

[Spawn-Inc]

No fair, I want my mold!

[jayjay1]

Oh, come on, normally I have to wait weeks for all the caster goodies from the US.

Now I´m first once, ahhhh, nope, second, Balta was first.

Just an idea:

How about supporting each other with his load results with this beautiful bullet?

I will try some VV N320 and some Lovex D032 (aka Acc. No.2) next time in my CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow.
(Have to cast some more to start coating first.)

Wouldn´t this be helpful for everyone inhere?

I can't garentee a speedy test of it, but I have hp38, tightgroup, accurate no2, sr7625, imr pb, a small amount of universal, Bullseye(though I only use that for 38spl hbwc's). I may have a few others but I can't recall.

It would be nice to shoot 50 of each, what distance do would be best? I typically shoot at 7-10 yards.

[jayjay1]

Well, I normally shoot accuracy tests at about 25m.

But just to know the loads and if they´ve brought a good accuracy or not would be helpful.
I do have VV N340, N350 and Lovex S011, D036 as well, but won´t try them, because they are no good for the 9mm Luger.

yes sir. I'm planning on using this bullet for my CZ Sp01 as well.
I have HP38,Titegroup and some IMR Pb for powder.

CZ 75 Sp 01 and VVN320 hiere...a old CZ 75 SP 01 ,that push trugh near 40.000 mostly j-words...slugs at .356
I did cast and coat some HP but only reload to test a 100 of 147 SOLIDS....
i push this with 3,3-3,4 grains of N320 ,didnt hrono but with this charge and bullet weght (lead) i get 127 PF....pleasent load.
HPs i cast ar to hard so i didnt load this jet...i size bullets to .357 and my COL s 28,8 mm....Shadow i think will need shorter COL..

[Balta]

And i did reload more 100 pcs to chek this an Hrono....this is 2 coats of Brown Copper..
122275

[Spawn-Inc]

mine will be run through a stock glock 17, norinco 1911, ruger black hawk as 9mm and 357mag and my smith 586. i size to .357 for the 9mm's and .358 for the 38/357mag.

as far as powders go i also have hs-6, and 700x.

[jayjay1]

Hey,
I´m loading for three Shadows and one Sig Sauer P226 X-5 Allround in my IPSC team.

I´ve slugged all three Shadows and all of them had slugs at or above .356", so I size my bullets to .3575".
All Shadows have a very short throat, so you have to use a short OAL.

I do measure out my OALs with every new bullet I have, and set them 0,1mm back.
All three Shadows have similiar throats as well, the P226 has a longer one.

Hope I can cast some more tomorrow, that it´s worth coating them.

[rogerreloader]

I received my mold today. Looks beautiful. I will try it soon. What kind of handles do everyone use for these? Thanks very much, fine job.

Are you in the states or hopefully Canada?

I put Lee mold handles on all my molds.

[rogerreloader]

I'm in Mississippi.

[R1valdez]

Got my mold today yay

[jayjay1]

I love this forum.
Isn´t it amazing, that we can order a mold and then compare our results with different loads all over the world?

I´ve casted some and will go coat them right now, load some up and shoot them next week.
I will report then.
[smilie=s:

[jayjay1]

Will shot some HP and normal ones tomorrow.

They have an OAL of 1,115" and have 2,9grs. of VV N320 and Lovex D032, which are pretty much the same, when it comes to weight and velocity.

Will report my results here.

[Spawn-Inc]

any update jayjay1?

i got a delivery notice today but of course i can't get it until tomorrow... AND they are charging me an extra $40 ****ing wankers at customs.

[jayjay1]

Yes, of course, both are the same.
I have no idea which groupings are better, both are slightly under 2" at 25m and they make both Minor PF out of my CZ Shadow, about 131, the VV just a bit faster.

The short OAL, because of the short throat, which all CZ´s have, is a bit an issue.
If I could set it out just 0,04" further, it would be a much softer shot, I´m sure.

Well, I´m thinking about reaming it since a while.

[BattleRife]

... they are charging me an extra $40 ****ing wankers at customs.

What?! What excuse are they using? Lots of Canadians on this forum have received moulds from Slovenia, I have four of them myself, I've never heard of CBSA dinging anyone for even as much as the GST.

[Blanco]

After straightening out a bad e-mail address (i'm such a dummy)
Mine got to me very quickly, like just over a week.
You know how it is ..... Gotta play. I had to put my shotgun refinish job on the back burner for a bit, while I tested the new mold.
As it has always been it took 20 + casts to start getting some nice boolits. I made the Hp version first. They weighed in at just under 150 Gr.
most were 149.5. As always Miha's molds are just pure works of art.
Now I gotta load up a batch and go shooting.

[Spawn-Inc]

ok so i just paid the ******** fee's for my mold and opened up the box to find scratches and a dent in one side of the mold. i highly doubt it was shipped to me that way so that only leaves the *******s at the cbsa. they did not put the mold back in the plastic wrap mihec did and they were loose to bang into each other during shipping.

[Spawn-Inc]

i cast some up with the mold to see if it was just cosmetic damage and it seems to work fine, although it seems to be a bit out of round. whether solid or HP it measures .360" from the mold line to mold line and .358 perpendicular to the mold line.

using pure mixed 50/50 with COWW +/- 10% in either direction i get 151gr for the HP and 158gr for the solid.

Stupid f...s....Cant belive this!!OMG...

Mihec is very generously sending me a new one, so major thumbs up to him! Hopefully the people at customs don't open it again.

[Blanco]

So I have a generous supply of HP boolits ready to load now....
Next question is , who has some good load data for this boolit?
Just my guess but I would think a medium to slow powder ?
I have Green Dot - Unique - Power Pistol - CFE pistol
In the faster range I have Bullseye - Red Dot - 700x - Clays Int. - Tite Group.
My un-educated guess is the slower powder would work to build gradual pressure to move the boolit a bit more slowly to begin with, Rather than slamming the 150 gr. chunk?
If you don't want to publish any loads feel free to PM me.

[g.man10mm]

123779
I'm using 6.7 gr AA#7, 1.138 OAL, WSP primers, Hitek coated, average velocity 950fps. Put the 1st 5 into one hole at 10 yards, then the next 3, 5-shot groups onto a 7x10" reduced IPSC steel silhouette at 75 yards. Groups shot offhand from a RMR-equipped Glock 17, OEM barrel. That'll do for my purposes.

the first powder I would try would certainly be Hodgdon Longshot

being curious, how long is that boolit ? a 147gr XTP HP is about 0.662"

Mine measure 0.656" long.

[Blanco]

from what I have read looks like the powder to look for is Longshot or the IMR 4756 or some Auto Comp.
I have some CFE Pistol that I snatched up a while back that looks promising at around 4.2Gr.
I still have to Powder coat My Boolits. I think I like Smoke's Superman Blue...

Here is one of my PC bullets, the zombie green color is also coated inside the cavity. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/08/cb083f047e5a43a3bd2c8059a63ad9ad.jpg

here is my efforts so far. the blue are 3.8gr of longshot seated to 1.13 with slightly deformed HP from my lee dies. the green is 4.2gr of longshot.

my HP weigh in at 151gr.

Are those dry tumbled PC?

[Spawn-Inc]

Are those dry tumbled PC?

Yes, I usually do 100 boolits at a time, and the missing powder on the tips is mostly from me standing them up on a tray to bake.

Those 2 powders (tool blue I believe, and kawasaki greeb) coat awesome for dry tumbling.

Edit: I don't use airsoft bb's. I normally use latex gloves which stops my fingers from removing the powder at the tip of the boolit.

[thespice]

any chance of one off these in .359 hollow point still being availiable at all?????

[Balta]

leth me chek for that!

[Blanco]

I ordered the .357 mold
I use a 97/3 blend and my boolits are falling out of the mold about .359
Maybe some others could say what they are getting but mine are a bit big.
I'm not complaining just an FYI

Mihec"s mold ar know for casting .001 to .002 overdiameter..and thats a basicly good thing considering that it is almost imposible to get exact diamter in any mold.But only undersized bullet is a problem..I think:)

Please, sir, would you tell me how you did this colour?
:drinks:
Those bullets really look awesome!

[Blanco]

I did some like that with different color combinations.
First pick a base color, in this case it would appear to be gloss black.
Tumble or spray then bake as usual.
After cooling set up the secondary color to tumble as usual but use 1/4 as much powder.
Briefly tumble and bake again

Here is my example

124236

[jayjay1]

Very nice effect!
I love it!
:smile:

So with the second coating, you are using less powder in the mix?
I use the powder coating from HI TEK with normally 1 part powder and ten parts aceton.
So it is 1 part powder with 40 parts aceton for the second mix, right?

[Blanco]

with HiTek the results may be different.
in my case I was using polyester PC
But yes the second coating was just enough for effect.

[Spawn-Inc]

One thing I would try is to do your base colour coat, and then sprinkle a second colour once you have them standing up on a tray. Then you only have to bake once.

Thats a damn good idea! ����

[jayjay1]

Hm, coating once might be not enough with the HI TEK stuff, where min. two fully coatings are needed...
:?:

[d garfield]

I guess I don,t know people are having such a time powder coating bullets.
I have a cool whip dish,fill it three quarter full of air soft pellets and put in three heaping table spoons of powdered paint and shake around, then remove with a pair of needle nose pliers and put on my non stick tin foil and put in toaster oven for 10 min. at 400 deg. And they come out as good as anything I,ve seen on here.

[jeremiah.allen1]

The baking instructions that come on most PC bottles does not mention part temperature. For example the harbor freight stuff is 10 minutes at 400 but it takes a least 7-10 minutes before you reach part temperature(depending on the size of your boolit). Just a hint, start the time once the powder fully melts on the bullet then start your timer. That will get your best consistency and durability on your boolits.

Very nice looking Blanco! Do you use stain steel media for cleaning your brass?

I fired off 250rounds today (200 were hp) and didn't have any leading or issues like that. 1 pull of the bore snake and it was very clean after. I shot my glock 17 and 1911 and had 3 fail to feeds in the 1911 from the hollow points. They may have been the practice rounds I made which had deformed hollow points.

I tried longshot and imr 7625, I'll post my load info tomorrow but the 7625 was barely able to cycle in either gun.

[Blanco]

I use an ultrasonic cleaner with a mild citric acid cleaner, then tumble in walnut media with a polish. They come out looking new.
If you look closely, I tried to duplicate the 2 tone effect with gloss black and signal blue. It did not work out with 2 dark colors. They will still shoot.

[Soldier]

Hello everybody,
I´m pretty new here and already have some question.
Please what BHN of alloy you´re using for this bullets 155 RN´s and 147 HP´s?
But Please i need BHN, not amount of pure lead and WW and antimony in your alloy, because I only have some range scrap and pure antimony on my hands so I need BHN as refference.
I´ll youse pencil testing to get some idea about BHN of my alloy.
Thanks a lot.

[Spawn-Inc]

if i had range scrap, i would use only that. i've been using a 50/50 mix of WW to pure for all my powder coating bullets in pistol cal's up to the 500mag.

[Soldier]

But my range scrap has only something about 10 BHN (pencil tested) and that´s so low for that caliber (for 9mm is advised something about 16 or 17 BHN as minimum) especially with polygonal rifling (G 17).
It is true that i´ll be loading this to a lot slower velocities than standard 9mm is (155 will be about 860 ft/s and 147 about 960 - 980 ft/s). And plus for that is, that this bullets has longer leading surface than standard 115 or 124 gn ones.
But it´s little unusual using this soft lead for that type of loads.
Will powder coat make that big difference?
Thanks

[thespice]

Finally got a mold and got some cast and coated with hi tek copper

[Balta]

Great looking bullets!

[theTastyCat]

Hey all - I realize this is closed, but any chance there are any more of the 147s? I would kill for one!

Many thanks and sorry to bother if not.

[Lakehouse2012]

I'm also REALLY late to this party!! Maybe Miha would consider a rerun of this mold? I would like one!
