A mold has returned! I'd lost this mold 6 years ago and was very saddened by it.My old neighbor found it in his loading stuff after he unpacked from a move.
it was bought 20 plus years ago from NEI/ Walt Melander in Scappoose Or.its one of Ed's original 7.62x39 designs Walt told me.the nose profile is slightly less pointed and starts a bit bigger at the front band than the lee.i found it shot slightly better than the lee.The body casts at .315 in range scrap.
this was the bullet that my mini 30 did decent with with 14.5g if 2400.the lee just hasn't done as well.Tomarrow I'll find out if my memory was correct.
