Thread is getting long! How much weight does the hp'ing remove from the Boolit? in say an 9mm or 45 acp or whatever you are working on. Will you use a heavier boolit to get the weight you want? Have you gone to the hardware store to see if they make pins that are the size you can use?[seems that this might speed things up a little bit] Are you only using a few cavities out of the 6 cavity mold?
