This thread is now in Active

Here is a 45.2.1 design in 45-70 for Carbines. I will offer it in 0.459" or 0.462" diameter and can be sized all the way down to 0.454" . Bob has shot this for years "and it's very accurate...."

This is a fantastic bullet for game hunting in the fall, lets see if there is enough interest to get it build by November.

Mold can be either 2-cav or 4-cav Brass or 6-cav Alum (You choose)
- Casting at 0.459 or 0.462 (You choose)
- Flat or Bevel base (You choose)
- Steel sprue plate
- Allen keys are included
- RCBS/Lyman top punch is included
- Uses MP mold handles or LEE 6 cavity handles (NOT included but you can add for an +$20)
- Sample of sprue lube is included (15ml)

The solid will weigh 300 grain with WW
Large round pin for the HP is 287 gr
Penta pin will be 292gr
Cup pin will be 294gr with WW.


244952

- 6 Cavity solid Aluminum - 95 Euro's (80,75 Euros with discount)
- 2 Cavity HP is 115 euros ( I think, need to confirm with Miha)
- 4 Cavity HP is 135 euros including shipping, all pins, top punch and allen keys

The conversion of Euro's to dollars will happen when Miha sends the invoice via PayPal.
GROUP BUY DISCOUNT OF 15% GIVEN AT TIME OF INVOICE

Please post your disguised email address and what mold you would like.

Solid with crimp groove and HiTek/PC would work if it was .459" max

No 2-cavity option? I prefer rather 2 than 4 cavity when diameter and weight is that what this one is. I would hop in if 2-cavity can be choose. No matter how long it takes to go on mill.

If I might ask a completely novice question (and if this isn't the place, please set me straight and (re)move this post), what are the major differences between this boolit/mold in .459 and the other group buy at <https://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?359485-ACTIVE-MP-Mold-459-460-300gr-RNFP-with-HP-option>? The one in the other thread looks to be a bit longer/heavier and it has an option for a gas check. But to my untrained eye they look very similar.

I have a 45-70 NEF HandiRifle, am contemplating the future purchase of a lever gun in the same caliber, and I am looking to throw in with one of these two group buys. Any input to help educate a neophyte bullet caster/reloader would be appreciated!

Welcome to the forum!

They are very similar. I chose this design as it has been used before with good results. The other is a new design and has not been proven. I have not cast for 45-70 before and wanted a known good design to start with.

I'm catching up on replys....

TimD is right, this mold is a proven design, has been made into molds many times. The other design is also good, I drew it up for the fella out of Germany who wanted better action on a rifle used in Europe often.

In any Marlin lever 45-70, you would not notice a difference. I'm not familiar with the Handi.

Hi everyone,

I talked with Miha yesterday, he is very sorry for all the delay in mold production. There are 2 issues he is dealing with, his supplier of the HP pins and a general shortage (and high cost) of raw materials. It's no different in the USA, if you have tried to buy any steel lately, you are in for a real shock... 2-3 times the cost from "pre-covid" pricing.

The GOOD news is, he has a new lathe coming, is supposed to start it's voyage by sea on the 28th and once it arrives and gets setup, Miha will start making his own pins!! Soon this pin-issue will be behind us. Stay patient and keep posted.

First group buy! If still available, please add me for a .459 HP flat base 4-cavity. Peter d0t Acker at gmail d0tcom

Thanks, look forward to it.

Please remove me; I found another mold that will suffice. Thanks!
