My first successful batch of the NEI group buy. Took a bit to get things dialed in to where I was producing good ones. If I do a mould of with the long heavy bullet again I think I will keep it to a 2 cavity as it may be easier to keep it in the zone. Besides 2 cavities fits the new Canadian handles better.

Long, slender, shapely nosed, silvery . . . . . and naked! :-D


I have been traveling WAY too much lately and haven't had the time to
put the first heat on my two cav version of this mold. How did the
diameters come out for you (nose and bands) ?

With my very hard alloy, old stock from the defunct Bull-X company, the driving bands come in at .311" and the nose at .303". I'm not sure what the WW sizes will be as I'm out at the moment and cast what I had on hand.

[MtGun44]

thanks! I hope mine casts a bit smaller in the nose.
