    A.C.E. 12 Ga 740 Gr HB slug

    LAST CALL




    OK, after some discussion this will be the first mold cut by Appalachian Casting Equipment Co. This is going to be a full bore ride slug that can be roll crimped or star crimped. I will offer this in a single cavity nose pour hollow base mold.

    Price for this single cavity mold will be $110 and will come with a lyman style pin.
    The mold will accept Lee style 6 cavity handles (not included) all metal parts will be made from heat treated steel, the sprue plate will be blued. This mold will be made from 7075 aluminum unless someone has objections and then I can cut it on 2024.



    Turn around time on this mold should be very quick with my shop, we have 5 CNC machines that run 24 hrs a day. I will make a few sample molds and cast with them to ensure they function flawlessly.

    If there are any other questions please ask!

    This is probably a stupid question but, what exactly is a "full bore ride slug"?

    It will not fit inside a wad, it will sit in the hull and shoot just like a regular boolit

    A wonderful design, I came in late for the discussion but am a little concerned about not having a step for a roll crimp, but will buy one regardless.
    Two questions, can you offer a push through sizer as well with the group buy? I'd want one at .729 if possible, also could you make an option to have a deaper base pin to lighten it as well.
    Regardless put me on the list please one cavity.

    I will work on the bigger pin and a flatpoint pin, should not be a problem at all. The roll crimp will rest right on the nose about half way up. A push through sizer may not be a bad idea.

    Different pin designs would be a nice option. Even a blank pin for making a flat base.

    I like the idea of a flat base pin. My gun slugs at .730" so i think i hould be able to shoot as cast.

    As for a push through sizer, a die of that size may have to be made for a single stage press where you can take out the "bushing" and use the larger size die.

    It would be thin for sure if using 7/8x14 and it would get pricey if I went 1-1/4 but that is your call guys.

    I would be very interested, depending on price. Would be just as interested in a 20ga version too. And the different pins to adjust weight would be icing on the cake.
    I passed my last psych eval, how bout you?

    Potentially interested depending on price and what your mold block construction looks like (block material, HB pin material, HB pin style of implementation, alignment pins style, and sprue plate set-up).

    I would appreciate some details on the block set-up you are intending to use, this is important for me since with slug molds I cast enough of them (thousands upon thousands) that I have and do wear out molds so I need to have some details on the molds construction since that will to a large part determine its useful life span and what kind of quantity I can expect out of the molds life span. At this point I've got over a half dozen of the Lee slug molds that have been worn out and in the parts bucket, and a couple Lyman 525 molds and even a MM custom that I wore out (although I was machine casting with it), where as I have a couple other molds from custom makers that don't have the flaws in the design that are still serving me well on the first mold with as many or more cast cycles on them.

    Same question for the 20ga. version which is still in the discussion zone and is not yet an active buy.
