Bullet Molds

RE: Bullet Molds
Of the materials commonly used for bullet molds-----fine grained cast iron stands out from the rest--stress relieve at about 1100 degrees f----------square up the blocks and machine any way you wish.

Cut in volume on an accurate saw and heat treated in bulk the base blocks aren't very expensive and ultimately stable.

No mystery to this at all, just attention to detail, will get you "true to vintage mold design" with accuracy of cavity that goes a ways beyond what could be accomplished in the 1870's

Yup Rick, hard to hold onto the fun level when profit gets involved !!!!!!
