When Erik HP'd my 358009, he sent me several HP pins.
I also requested a blank pin that I could shape and establish the length of myself.
He chose .135 as the HP opening on the mold. That's fine and I'm certain it WILL expand. I want to test these HPs soon and settle on 1 particular design prior to hunting season. ( When I was casting a couple of days ago using his .135 pin, I had it a little deep into the mold cav. as you'll see in the photo below , doesn't look so good, but I really can't tell that it has any affect at all on the accuracy of the bullet, I've since corrected the depth issue with the .135 pin )
I made me a .157 Pin from the blank he sent. I sent this photo to Erik earlier today.
