That looks like the new whisper mold with the extra wide hollow point pin. I need to get in touch with Al to try to get those pins. I have an RG2 with the standard narrower pins.
I have to break in a few molds myself.
I have a 358-310 thumper, a 513-888 and a 513-580 waiting on the shelf. Of course the rifles aren't ready yet, so I guess there's not too much of a hurry.
I wonder if Al will make bigger pins for that 358 HP mold?
Love that .30 mold. Beautiful. I can't wait to see the range report.
I'll tell you that 280g is a beast! I have the standard nose and it just shoots so well! That extra large HP just looks devastating; just don't try to run it up a ramp

That Lee 158 RNF mold makes one very fine cast bullet. I find it accurate in all my guns including the finicky 1894C carbine. The metaplate is rather large, so it hits very hard.
That Lee mold for the .357 is one of my favorite molds. It shoots good in everything I've put it in.
You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.
I'm looking forward to putting some lead downrange in the next couple weeks. Can't wait to see how it shoots
I think you'll like it. I got the little brother to it in 125gr., but don't think I've even cast with it yet.

Those are some heavy for caliber .30 and .35 molds, very cool, what are you shooting them in?
They will both be shot subsonic. 300AAC and 358 Winchester
My NOE molds are my favorite. Good Stuff.
