    This is what a brass mold from Accurate looks like

    I got my second mold from Accurate this afternoon after much anticipation, and it's just a beautiful as the first. It's a custom design (36-159S) intended to be a do-all boolit for a small 357 mag revolver, so it has a nice wide meplat, some ogive to make it at least nominally speedloader-compatible, and it has a high crimp groove because there ain't nobody that likes to shoot full power magnum loads out of a J-frame... so this one should take up some case capacity and make lower-power loads more accurate.

    This just leaves me with one problem....

    What do I order next?

    That is a beauty. Should be a good "thumping" bullet design with that meplat.

    Looks nice, except for the lack of a lube groove.

    See, this is what I like about this site. The folks here will bend over backwards to help someone out. What a great thing to offer, the mold gets cleaned and broken in, then gets sent to its forever home a couple of years later ready to please.

    That mold is made for powder coating. Boolits fall out nicely. Most of my molds are the tumble lube type and now that I have a lube sizer I wish they weren't.

    I know Charlie. Note the "razz" emoji at the end of the sentence.

    Wasn't being critical, just thought others might not know that.
