What happened to the long thread about this mold droping undersized bullets ??
Out of sight out of mind might work but NOT when looking at the bank account statement.

IHMSA # 566 "time sure flies when you're having FUN"
Were you hoping for a refund? Buyers remorse maybe?
New mould blocks are being shipped tomorrow according to MiHec.
Wayne, my replacement blocks arrived yesterday, cast 4 pounds of them as soon as I got the hard ware changed and the blocks de greased.
The boolitz from my blocks are now right on specks dia. wise. Very happy, 73 gr with my WW alloy/checked/simple greened, ready to fly.

Remember Lavoy!
I'll cling to my God and my guns, and you can keep the "Change".
what do you mean when you say "simple greened" sorry I am relatively new to casting only been doing it for couple years and never herd of using that other than assuming it to be used to clean the mold?
Up In the boolit Lube thread you will find a thread for a boolit Lube called " Simple Lube " in the thread it is called " simple green "
R5R's, first post, that I Copied and Pasted here
"simple lube.
a few people have asked me about a simple easy to make lube.
and here is an easy to make no fuss lube.
the ingredients are easy to find.
i call it simple green.
4 oz's beeswax [by weight solid]
4 teaspoons of white petrolatum [vaseline]
2 teaspoons of two stroke oil [i use cd-2]
2 teaspoons of atf [i use dexron]
you can add 1/8th teaspoon of lanolin if you wish.
here is the cooking instructions.
melt the beeswax dump everything in and stir.
pour out to cool..
works in a lubrisizer with room temp,and should make a decent pan lube too.
[i don't pan lube so haven't tried it.]
you can add a third tsp of 2 stroke oil if you want it a little softer [or for quite cold weather].
it's pretty tacky but stays in the lube grooves when rattled around with other boolits. "

Unbelievable, so many in on this GB and now that the new blocks are in casters hands, NO ONE is posting groups / results

I still got mine in their original packages, haven't had time to more than give them a quick glance, twin sons and build a house takes time and energy out of you.
I'm happy with the outcome.
I just posted #577 to http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...x-cavity-solid, and my post reads:
"When I arrived home in ABQ from a 1.5 yr job assignment in KS, I found the replacement mold just as MiHec promised.
MiHec, thanks for the work of art, AND being a man of your word."
I have yet to cast with this mold, but if there is a problem, I have no doubt that MiHec will make things right.
