Big Bullets at moderate speeds...Makes things move
Looks like we're up to 20 people wanting molds. The number may vary by a couple either way for some who might want more than one mold or those who don't want the design agreed to by consensus.
This is an easy one for a new honcho. Someone willing to take on the project now that most of the work is done?

That's ok, Buckshot. If it goes, it goes, if it doesn't, it won't. <G>
I hope you counted me in on this one.
Doc
I hope you counted me in as likely suspect for this one!

Yep, I counted both you guys.
Looks like this project will just fade into the mist as another good idea with not enough interest. That's fine, though. Maybe it will be revived later.
If we're just a few short for a .45/70 six banger, I'll buy 4 or 5 and sell them to some Canuckleheads up here.

Jacketed bullets, what a relic. A throwback to the twentieth century. Real men shoot cast.

Sorry - I got confused on this one - What is the final verdict on the design?
Where can I see the design, size, GC/PB?
Gas Check I am in, Plain Base I am out.

This project is going nowhere until it gets a honcho. The honcho will have to work out the numbers for a final design.
The numbers are there to make it viable, but no one wants to step up to the plate to make it happen.
...............ISSUES!
1) Honcho: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ................................
2) GC or no GC: Shall I put up a sticky for a 2 week vote period? A: GC, B: No GC, C: Either. Only one vote!
3) Size: As per a conversation on the 375 bullet current'y seeking a honcho and some direction. Shall the mould cavity dimensions be spec'd to a certain diameter to be cut?
I can put the sticky up no problem. The size deal will need some input from people willing to get the cavity OD and then mike boolit bases after casting with a stated alloy (ideally in an aluminum 45 cal mould).

Consider a sticky for design as shown in reply #7 at about 360 grain, with option A - flat base and B - GC.

...............A Sticky Poll has been posted, re: GC, no GC, Don't care. Poll runs 20 days. Maybe we'll have a honcho by then

Put me in for one also!
on this order.
350 grain 0.460" diameter and is it PB or GC.
If'n we get moving it will be ready for meat gathering this fall.
I just want something to hunt with and plink at fun kinda velocities.
If I wanted to suffer to blast away with 458 Mag I would get one.
It is a 45-70 workhorse, lets keep at that.
Ok, now where were we on this one, I have slept since then!
Here's my money ready to place on the table! !
Or I just go back to my 300-325 RCBS DC molds (PB and GC).

Ranch Dog is running a 460-350 TL GC group buy right now. Maybe we ought to do this one as a PB with regular grease grooves. What sayeth the crowd?
Doc
A Fat plain base with deep grooves suitable for blackpowder, plinking or sizing down to 45 colt or casull would work well here.
45 2.1 can draw up this boolit with lube grooves that will work with the Holy Black as well as smokeless powder, and no gas check.
I am willing to honcho a buy for such a boolit, but I don't want to interfere with RanchDog's group buy for a very similar design. His is set up for tumble lube now, and he's thinking of changing it slightly for use lubrisizer types. It won't work for Black, and it has a gas check.
Is anyone interested in this boolit, 350 grain, no gas check, lube grooves for smokelsess or black powder?
Cogito, ergo armatum sum.
