    MP 454-423, which version to get?

    Is there any reason not to get the hollow-point version of the 454-423 from MP, even if I (maybe) will mostly cast solid bullets?

    Obviously the solid only version is less expensive, but the HP version obviously much more flexible.

    I am a big fan of the hp molds. You can always cast a solid with it but can’t cast a hp with a solid only mold.

    That's my thought. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something about the solid-only mold, but I didn't expect I would be.

    I should have posted this in Molds Maintenance and Design, so I did repost it there.
