MP 358-200 GC aren't those the cutest Penta Pins?

Mal Paso means Bad Pass, just so you know.
Picked up two used Accurate .451 molds for my Volunteer that turned out to be new in the box.
Wasn't exactly today, but a few days ago I received a simply immaculate RCBS 44-225-SWC from another member, an older mould still brand new in the box.
About 2 weeks ago I purchased the NOE 360-158-WFN- 3 Cavity PB for my .38 Special. I cast some up on Sunday and sized them to .358. Wednesday night I hope to get some loaded. I am anxious to try them out in my Model 15 Smith! hc18flyer
Arrived today.

Let's go Brandon!
NOE 368-285-FN-W3. This one is a GC design for 9.3 bullets. My plan is to use it for my 9.3x62 CZ.
RCBS 45-255 SWC. 2 cavity cast ironordered today because the Lee 6 cav 255 that i got yesterday drops boolits at .458 instead of .452.

If that Lee is a 255RF should make a good plinking bullet for a 45/70. Both of my 1886 Brownings slug at .457". I recently purchased a Lyman 457191 for that purpose. It does not have the bevel base and is in small blocks so I am not sure how old it is. Casts at .459" on the base band, the others are .4575". Pretty slow being single cavity but I am retired and have more time than anything else. Going to load some over Unique and 2400 to try out this weekend after I finish the NRL match. Look on the bright side, you now have an excuse to buy another rifle.
I was thinking that too (just after i shipped it back to Midway) I do have about 100 cast so i could try them out.

Got some time in today with my new NOE .432 216 grain RNFP.
Nice pills there targa. What alloy did you use?

Thank you. For these I plan on running full mag so I went with a mixture of range lead, super hard and tin to get in the ball park of Lyman #2.
Lyman #2 casts nice boolits. Cadillac alloy for sure.

I started with a 350 Legend upper that was on sale and finished with an Areo Precision stripped lower. All the rest were parts on sale and to fill in orders to get free shipping. The Thordsen Stock and compensator to make it ca legal were full price of course. Probably $1200 including a Sig Red Dot and folding MagPul metal sights. Can't compare prices with already built ca legal guns as they all have thumb blocks on a pistol grip which is as stupid as the state of california.
The Sig Romeo 5 not in the picture got back from the hospital a week ago today and I was up North sighting it in. Everything but the Red Dot is USA made.

jeez they they sure do have some crazy laws about guns in California , I was reading about some of it on web site for the gun range linked to the LASC web site.
guess I'm glad I much prefer lever guns that are old and ugly to the new modern rifles.
Congrats. That's a good one!RCBS 45-255 SWC. 2 cavity cast iron
This one is blemished from falling off the bench.

Just casted with it today. Cleaned it well and preheated it and got nice boolits right away. Only hitch is they weigh 268 instead of 255. I suspect the length of the mold got a bit long somehow. The plan was to use Linebaugh data for a 260 grainers. I will reduce the loads some and check velocities I guess.Congrats. That's a good one!

Here are the last two molds I had delivered, a MP 600 grain HP .502 and a Arsenal 258 grain WC .432
CC:
I have two of the RCBS 45-255 SWC moulds, both double cavity. When I cast that boolit, I run both moulds. Boolits pile up really quick. It is a great slug for the 45 Colt cartridge. Enjoy your new boolits.
If a 41 won't stop it, I wouldn't bet my life on a 44.
