I don't buy any Lyman molds, every newish mold I've bought from them has had some sort of flaw. First place I look for a mold these days is MP, if Miha makes it I buy from him. Second is Accurate,...
Excellent, thanks guys. And Track has .45 colt brass for a sane price in stock, so I'm set there. Just need to wait for the mold to be in stock and I'll be set.
I have a 625-6 Mountain Gun in .45 colt on the way. One of my dream guns, but I don't currently load or shoot .45 Colt. I managed to find a few cases to tide me over until starline lets me order a...

$300 for what it is basically just for fun is a hefty amount. I think I will give the forster tool a try first. I can use it on the mk ii bullets I already have and see what happens. Then maybe...

That helps greatly.
I do use very soft alloy for any Webley bullets so that gives me hope.
I had a look around the Corbin website and it's a mess, lol. I didn't find anything that could be what...

The mold casts bullets as a hollow base already, but I guess the die would need both ends or it would just flatten out the hollow base. Is there someplace I could have that die made? Is it the kind...

I have a Webley .455 I would love to be able to try out the famous "manstopper" bullet in, but they are a hollow base hollow point.
MP molds makes a manstopper copy that is just a hollow base...
It is indeed, it's a design of my own based on a similar one from a forum post years ago. Unfortunately I havent had the chance to fire any yet, it took a while to have a sizing die made and life...
Yeah that's what I meant if it wasn't clear. That it was way off with actual pressure tested data so I couldnt really use it for N320 data. I'll have to just wing it.
I got my mold today and got some bullets cast up. I measured one and input it into quickload to see what it says. Well I think it can't handle the hollow base calculations very well. It's got a place...
N320 is faster than Unique, sort of in between bullseye and Unique, so hopefully it works.
You think faster even than N320? I can try and source some bullseye if need be.
I will read through that thread, thanks.
N320 is pretty forgiving of low pressure so I'm hopeful it will work well, and like I said I have a lot of it already so it will be nice to not have to use a different powder. If needed I will give...
I have a labradar I'll use for velocity.
Do you notice an accuracy difference between bullseye or unique, and are you using hollow base bullets? My thinking is that the slower powder would be more...
Awesome guys, that's super helpful. I'm waiting on some starline cases, mold should be here in a few days and if starline isn't backordered too long I'll get some loaded up with unique and N320 and...
Mine is still in the original .455. The cast bullets I will use are going to be 260 grain. I was thinking of measuring one when done and using that in quickload to get an idea of a load to use. I'm...
Got a very nice Webley MK VI recently and wanted to share. I also got a bunch of Fiocchi ammo but I also want to cast for it. I have a hollow base MP mold on the way, and I wanted to see if anyone...
That's good advice thanks, I'll clean up my original one, and I'm going to heat cycle my new ones a few times as well.
I got a .44 SWC mold and a 600 gr mold for my .500 S&W. They're like works of...
I did eventually get ahold of him, and over the weekend made me 2 of the molds I was looking for but have been out of stock, and is shipping the pin I was originally missing, very cool.
I can't get ahold of him either, and my issue is tiny compared to that.
That is helpful, thanks. My sprues were liquid for about 4 seconds, which according to the advice on MP molds site, is where you want it to be. It seems that results in too cold of a mold.
Also,...
The alloy should be good, its fishing weight/WW/50-50 solder.
The common theme I hear seems to be to cycle the mold a few times, and I admit I didnt do that. I cleaned it real good again but I'll...
I just got my first MP mold, and first hollowpoint mold, and am having a bit of trouble.
2 cavities give me bullets like on the right, perfectly filled out and crisp, the other 2 give me bullet...
