Very Nice Hardware, Doughty!
I didn't realize that Doughty had made that mold. Please add my compliments to the preceding list.

Glad you enjoyed it. The way I do it isn't the way all moldmakers do it and the methods I use impose some limitations, but it's the best I can do with what I have.
I'm hoping to finish up another ongoing project over the holiday break that relates mold cavity size to finished bullet size for different mold and alloy materials. I have to cast one more batch of sample slugs out of Linotype (I've already got the slugs cast and measured out of pure lead an WWs) and measure them. I will then compile the info and publish the results sometime this Spring. I'll post a link here in case anybody is interested.
Once again thanks for kind words.
Yeah, The Professor does good work.
So do you my friend. Have a great Christmas!
