    Rapine .620” and .625” RB molds

    Came across these two molds, new old stock, off of evilBay. Got them for fullbore 20ga loads.

    I had great results with .740” rb’s in 12 ga.

    Y’all played around with that size in 20ga?

    Only the 570’s in a shotcup. Now if you were to send me one of those molds I’d be happy to give you a report! Uncle D’s plastic based slugs have done well though.

    Just cast up 15 of each using an alloy that I forgot what’s in it. Hardness is around 11-13bn.

    With that alloy, they’re casting about 2 thousandths over nominal.

    Weight of both slugs are the same.

    I got a couple ML molds from a guy in PA originally made obviously for ML’s but other pressed into use for shotguns . Think they’re called Moose molds or something like that . https://moosemoulds.wixsite.com/mm2013

    I bought two of the Wadcutter HB molds with replacement pins so they could be solid base .
