That lube groove shrinking is a normal occurance when you get your alloy components correct and cast properly. Especially when used for hollow point boolits.Originally Posted by 123.DieselBenz
In this one you can just barely see a trace of green loob! notice how the loob groove shrank!
That's good to know!
I guess I'm doing something right, not just gotta get the groups to group!

I missed the sign up for this one somehow. So, I took a shot and emailed Miha yesterday. I just happened to be logged into my email this afternoon when his reply came in that he has one left.
I replied back "I'LL TAKE IT!!!" so fast, my keyboard is still smoking. Payment sent, and a sigh of relief that I got one. Thanks Miha!
Now the wait begins...
You really lucked out ShootnCoastie. They are beautiful.
This country has gone to hell but now there is hope for us.
Well I opened up my mulch rubber boolit trap today . . .
Left to Right: Round Hp shot from Marlin 1894 18.5" barrel, Round Hp shot from Ruger Security Six 4" barrel, Solid shot from Marlin.
What is interesting is this following picture is the same load shot from the same gun, at the same distance as the previous picture in post #13, but this is shot into rubber.
And from the Marlin which would be going faster because of the longer barrel:

Bob,
What are those pentagons? 45?
John 3: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Yes 5 sided or pentagon with a few round HP 45's and the round HP .358's , also have the .401 HP
I really like these moulds !
Bob
Here it is!!!
Miha hooked me up with the last one. Story 11 posts up. As usual A+ service and craftsmanship.
Posting pictures of the mold, since everyone's posting pictures of the finished product.
Acording to his website, he still has more available . . .

Sorry, out of stock
Miha, I just noticed, I never got my 2nd invoice. I am #2 and
#46 on the list and only got 1 call for funds. Any chance on paying for and getting the second mould?

Excellent results!!! What cartridge/velocity/load were you using in your marlin? I'm guessing .357 mag.
I'm intrigued by the thought of these in my 35 Rem, but not sure if the hollow point would cause feeding issues.
Anyone else tried this one in their 35 rem?

I used some Win 38 spl cases, win sp prmers, 5.5gr Unique, crimped in the crimp groove closest to the base, shot through a Marlin 1894C 357 mag.

I have a set of Dillon New Style dies and cannot get a .38 spl to crimp in the band closest to the
base of the bullet. The crimping die seemingly is having difficulty with the taper of the boolit and
is pushing the boolit further into the case prior to crimping. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
With my luck I'm probably the only one using Dillon dies.
