Depending on price I would like one also. What type of mold handles can be used with it

Tentatively, in- as with others, details like, price and materials need to be included before I commit.
Cant wait, I have a rifle barreled 500 and a Saiga with a rifled choke that is looking for this.

Tag me for one please. Would like a 20 ga version as well.

Okay, you answered all my questions about the mold construction except one. Alignment pins, male/female steel pairs, male only into simple hole in block for female side, or something else I haven't thought of (I don't think anyone crazy enough to duplicate Lee waffle style).
If its male/female steel pairs for the alignment pins I'm in for one.
Put me down for one. Ye ole' 12 gauge needs a good workout.
Thanks !!!
Also, let me know when the 20ga. buy goes active.
Also, group buy log in link at bottom of page is not working for me, you will get paid regardless, but the link just goes to a dead page that says I need to contact me server support ????
No, when this closes I will send PM's and calls for payment then, expect this in 4-5 weeks, I want as many people to join as possible but will not let this run too long.
Also, I will check in with the prices for different size hollow base pins and will post those as soon as I get a price finalized!

Will this work in smooth bore?
I wouldnt shoot it through a gun with a choke.
I am in, would like to reiterate the request for a flat base pin option, or as an addition.
Any more thoughts on a push through sizer?
Hoping for thin 7/8x14.
I think that would end up being too thin on the walls because according to my quick reference table the thread depth on a 7/8x14 thread leaves only 0.78" diameter of solid core diameter bottom of thread to bottom of thread on the opposite side. With 0.730" sizer (for example) that means only 0.025" wall thickness where the bottom of the thread grooves are. I don't think that's enough wall thickness left to be strong enough to actually size and would be a royal bear for the machinist to cut, that thin of walls your bound to start getting some chatter when boring.
I think you need at bare minimum 1" threads and most presses with a removable bushing to provide a larger thread the larger thread is either 1-1/4x12 or 1-1/2x12 thread so that is probably what would need to be for push through this big.
Also, the mold maker doesn't necessarily have to be the one who makes the push through dies as well. I know buckshot will make them and has for several on this board.
Me personally with shotgun slugs unless there is a considerable size difference I let the gun size the slug for me. Considerable size difference would be like a slug that cast 0.740" and I had one of those deliberately slightly tight rifled barrels that is only 0.727" or so in the major groove diameter (better accuracy resulted from those deliberately slightly tight barrels with commercial slug loads so that be why that company made them that way, and its not a bad idea since we all know that cast boolits usually need a thous. or two or so over bore diameter for best accuracy) then I size the slug down. But I wouldn't hesitate a micro-second to shoot a slug that cast at 0.730" through such a slightly tight barrel "as cast". In-fact I would consider that to be about ideal and would be the size I would size too for those internal barrel dimensions if the slug did need to be sized. I personally just love it when boolits drop right from the mold at just the right size for my barrel so I don't have to size and can just tumble lube, load, and shoot. One less thing that has to be done in order to get to the last step there.
