In a few days I'll be 79. I'm in good health, but I'm beginning to have some arthritic symptoms (hands) & I'm recovering from tendonitis (R. hand). Casting with my Lyman & SAECO 4 cav. molds isn't fun anymore (I tend to cast hard & heavy for 4 or 5 hours at a time).
The 5 & 6 cavity AL molds are easy for me to handle.
I want to get a new 9mm mold. These will be for practice only: I'll carry Speer 124 gr. Gold Dots.
I do not own a MP mold & hear good things about them. They only show 2 different 9mm 6 cav. aluminum molds: MP 359 140 PB & MP 359 147 BB. These are a little bit heavier than I'd like (I prefer 125-130 gr.), but the shape (especially the 140) looks just like the Speer 124gr. Gold Dot.
Does anyone have any experience with either of these?
The 147 is available now & I'd have to wait on the 140. They both have the Lee type sprue plate lever (which I like).
An alternative is the Arsenal 359-130RF. It looks just like the MP 359 140 PB. I have 4 other Arsenal molds & they're working just fine for me. Of course the Arsenal would be a 5 cav..
Any input is appreciated.
Henry
