world’s worst bullet mold

[theperfessor]

How perfect would a bullet have to be if it were encased in a plastic sabot/wad and shot from a shotgun? How close in size does a ML bullet need to be? I've used flush-cut side cutters on sprues and can get about as good a cut as I can with a regular sprue plate. It's the outer edges of the base that really are the key to bullet accuracy, the divot in the middle isn't all that important on a slug that big. If the diameter was right it might be a good mold for a few bullets, but I bet it would wear faster than a mold with a two piece design and detachable handle system.

So did anybody here buy it?

For Maxi-ball type bullets the size is critical. Too small and it will fall out from its own weight and too large you can’t hand seat it even with a seater. On my 45 Maxi-ball mold the base driving band was the smallest to allow for finger seating and alignment. The middle band is larger and the top band is the largest. The middle and top should be large enough to require using a seater.

I tried to find another one on e-bay (heck I could give it to a buddy here as a white elephant gift this Christmas.)
Alas, no such luck.

The ones I would nominate for worst molds are the apothecary suppository molds that show up under the sporting goods section on e-bay periodically. I always laugh when I see the descriptions too. Vintage, Rare, muzzle-loader mold. Makes 6 conical bullets of roughly 72 caliber.

That is wrong on so many levels when you stop and think about it.
