Ok, I'll jump in with a question. I have tried several different Thompson molds in my various 44s. I started with a 429244 and
then since I couldn't get a single group that was decent, I searched
out a 431244 mold and tried it.
Using the same alloys and diameters and same guns, I have literally NEVER gotten a really decent group.I have annealed gas checks, not annealed, left them off, tried various BHNs, lubes and diameters that work great with many/most of the variations of Keith designs.
Yet - I keep hearing how the 429/431244 is a great bullet, maybe even
better than the 429421 and clones. I never once got a really good
group. Pretty much given up on them and haven't used either mold
in a couple years.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
