I give loading advice based on my actual results in factory rifles with standard chambers, twist rates and basic accurizing.
My goals for using cast boolits are lots of good, cheap, and reasonably accurate shooting, while avoiding overly tedious loading processes.
The BHN Deformation Formula, and why I don't use it.
How to find and fix sizing die eccentricity problems.
Do you trust your casting thermometer?
A few musings.

OK I did get an invoice from " Mp Kalupi d. o. o. (2124)". It doesn't mention Keith, Mihec, Group, Buys, Cast, Boolit, Bullet, mold, or anything else that would make it findable in a gmail search. I got thousands of emails a day (long story), I haven't done a group buy in a while, I don't remember it being so obtuse. Anyway, it's paid now.

Does anyone know if there were extras made that are still available.

Hi Petander!
At first glance, those look like .45 ACP cartridges in steel or aluminum cases. You sure cast some pretty bullets. I ordered my mould with grease grooves, but I've got to admit they look good as slicks. What alloy did you use, and how much do they weigh? I can't wait for your range report.

Thank you Ed,yes this is a superb mold.
I'm getting 448 grains with the penta pin. 50 ww/ 50 pure except my ww has 10% lino in it. BHN should become 12 or so. 4605 Hi Tek coated,will size nice to .4595 for my Marlin.
Hi Petander!
Tried my mould today, but just with the FN version. I had one of the cavities reamed to PB, and left the other GC. Never cast with a brass mould before, and found the secret is you have to get them hot, and keep them that way, then they cast beautifully. I cast mine using 20:1 alloy, and the PB versions came in at about 440 gr. I also tried my hand at HiTek coating (502 Bronze.) I think they came out ok for my first try, though I'm a little disappointing that my oven couldn't hold a steady temperature. In addition to working on getting better at applying the coating, I also need to work on my photography skills! Ed

Hello from the snow!
Approaching 1800 fps. 2000 fps looks possible.
I just finished casting a bunch of NLB solids and am waiting for them to cool before weighing and culling. Boy, does my 4 cavity need to be run hot. Once I got it up to about 400 the bullets were perfect. I wish I could find a convenient spot on the mold to drill it for the temp probe. Swede does it on all the molds I buy from him but Miha's molds don't have a good place to drill.
