Miha just completed another group buy with this mold , slightly different design to include the penta hollow point.

You can chase down that thread in the group buy /waiting /delivery forum , looks like it did very well.

Digger, $108 is the correct price.

340six, you could try sending Mihec a PM. His last post in the above thread, on 10/30, stated that there were a few extra molds available.

I have Mihas new mold with the Penta pin, cast a buch with 50/50 ww and soft lead and the feed and shoot great from what my friend has said, I havent had time to shoot any yet.
He shoot them through 5 milk jugs full of water and it stopped in the 5th 2 petal broke off one and the other stayed intact and opened perfect opening up to just over .460.
He uses light loads so I wouldnt think these were going over 700-800 fps.

So I decided I would just take a stab at some boolits with this mold tonight. I had a Lyman 429 that used to stick terribly. One day at the end of a casting session I decided to pick up the Lyman 429. I didn't warm it up at all, and after several throws it was dropping shiny boolits with no sticking.

Because of that odd success I decided to try this Mihec without cleaning, my last Mihec I had some sticking on the pins after cleaning. I heated up the Lee with the mold on top and started casting. First batch were wrinkled, but didn't stick on the pins at all! I turned the pot up to 9 and kept casting. After another couple dozen or so they were coming out great! All of them jumping off the pins! I was ecstatic because with every other HP mold I own I haven't had a session without terribly sticky pins so I just made myself a nice little pile since things were going so smoothly.

I did get some finning on a few, I didn't add anymore tin from the last time I cast, maybe the higher temperatures?

While I was casting I also noticed something that I have never seen before, my melt was molten red. I was casting after dark under lights, but I notice in the shadow that the melt was red hot. I had about a half inch layer of ash on top of the melt, was it possible that my melt was super hot or is it normally molten red in the dark?

Just thought I would share my success without cleaning and high temps.


Another great one, thanks Mihec and Dannix!
