Damn… I do that same thing quite often as well. I wonder how on the edge I really am. I can check velocities but pressure is the devil in the details.
HahahaYea I try to go back and forth with two moulds, fill one while the other cools and sets up but can make it challenging when they like to run if different temperature “sweet spots”

I use graphite like other have mentioned. A little goes a very long way, and it handy for sticky locks as well. Just be cautious with it, powered graphite is not something you want the kiddos playing...

My marty Mould seams to like to run hot above 750. They come out frosty but that's better for the powder coating. I also run a hot plate that helps with the heating up process.
Great info Dutchman. Great website also. Thanks for help! My father in law really wants me to try and get this thing to a condition where it can be fired. I might bring it to a smith and see what he...
So my father in law gave me this old revolver and didn't have much to tell me about it other than it was handed down to him. He asked me to try and figure out what is it and to see if it is in good...

I use walnut and added some of this stuff called red rouge. it’s in powder form and gives an amazing shine. I think I bought 1 oz. of this stuff and don’t think I will ever run out. a little goes a...
amen to that! I’m a college student and I’m graduating in may and can't wait to get a job and start making money so I can buy more of Miha's molds.
definately let us know if you do end up getting it and how they function. I also saw that in my cast bullet handbook and have been curious myself
Interesting design for sure. It looks cool with the 3 groves but I can see why your having trouble getting it to fill out completely. As mentioned above I also have a Miha mold but it’s .452 acp. I...

They certainly have a good chunk of my money.
I took it apart today and dosen't seam to be any damage to the screw itself. Put it back together and still see light between the mold and spru plate. Going to try wacking on it on a flat steel plate.

I know tell me about it. I have purchased it and the gun store has be holding it for me for about 5 months now. In ny they can't give it to me till I have the permit in hand. Unfortunately I have...

It's some dang sticky stuff as it is. I think it's because the candle wax that I used it fairly soft by itself. Even when I push the boolits out of the lube there are some (1 out of 15 or 20) that...

Just got into casting recently and have only been casting for 45 acp. Haven't actually shot any yet because I live in ny and am towards the end of my pistol permit process. I'm antisapating shooting...
I think the pins are getting up to the proper temp because one of the pins has no problem letting the boolits fall free, but some are more troublesome than others. even when i move the pins around to...
thanks guys, ill try the glass idea to see where the bend is.
lbaize3, i did smoke the pins but it only seams to work for a few (2 or 3) then they start to stick again, and i have to re-smoke...
So im still fairly new to casting and have cast about 2000 45 acp. Most of them being with one of MiHec’s hollow point molds and a few hundred with a lyman SWC. My concern is with my MP mold. Here is...
