As I recall, Miha said his first cherry broke, and he had to wait for his Austrian supplier to cut him a new one. How many molds did he cut before the first one broke?

Thanks for sharing your experience, guys. I sure don't get it, why y'all have such an easy time of it with yours like with any other mold, and mine is such a boolit-retentive little whatever that it...

Yeah, that's about what I ended up doing. Hot plate at 625-640°, alloy at 875-925°. Heat the mold right side up for awhile, then flip it over and heat the sprue plate for a good 5 minutes. Then...

Thank you! Your idea of only filling one or two cavities at a time to get to the correct operating temperature is an excellent idea. Thank you very much. Think I'll try filling the two...

"A piece of wood?" Are you kidding? How big a resilient log would it require to deliver the same amount of energy to equal the non-yielding hammer head at the end of the handle? And how could you...

Oops, I meant to say I have over 40 steel and aluminum molds, plus a few of Miha's brass beauties.

I finally had a chance to try out my 6 cavity brass mold that came a couple of weeks ago.
First, a little background: I've been pouring my own for a lot of years, and have over 40 brass &...

Photos? Your wish is my pleasure. You can see that I started to dig out the old lube and changed my mind. The old stuff is soft enough that I might go ahead and try it out for some low velocity...

The other Lyman 45 I bought last weekend has a gold decal with black printing, rather than a sticker or label. Hers's a photo of it, and a photo of the casting number. It is on the right side of...

Scored a pair of Lyman 45's at a gun show last weekend. Has anyone ever seen a 45 with a die retaining nut? Here's a photo, plus photos showing the casting number and the outline of the clear...

What are you waiting for? Why don't you close this group buy and get it into production? Isn't the closing date the honcho's decision, not Miha's? This has been going on for nearly two...

Forgot to include, I want that mold in GC form.

Hi Swede,
Thanks for the update. I can have a lot of sympathy for simply being swamped and behind. Looking forward to when you can get to them.
All the best,

Last mold I bought from MiHec, I was able to make a single payment thru PayPal. Now those #*******s seem to only allow payment by first opening a PayPal account.
I have ZERO interest in having...

Hey Dale53,
That magazine article about the 454424 you talked about- was that the one in the June 2009 issue of Handloader magazine?

The lady who answered the phone at Lee Precision yesterday said that they have at least a 6-9 month backlog on custom molds.
For just plain fun plinking with the .45 revolver, 185 grain SWC's are a real hoot! I use both ready-mades from Shooter's Choice or my own cast in Lyman's 452389 mold, using wheelweights. I worked...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I guess we never really answered shepherddogs' question about the very thin laquer-like coating. Yes, that's all that is really needed. I just like the extra, is all. I've shot lots of very, very...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I've been using the Lee Liquid Alox for several years on all my home-made boolits, both TL and conventional designs, and I also coat the ready-mades I buy that are already conventionally lubed. LLA...
