RE: .44-77 bullets for a 19-twist barrel?
I will argue Dons point on the speed at which BACO can get the adjustable mold to you.
Now I had been told by others that they can and will turn out a mold quickly, it took me just over 6 weeks to get my mold. The same one Jim is talking about. On the plus side, they do send along 2 bullets cast in your mold and tell you to hold on to them. Nice looking bullets and its very hard to see the part lines on the bullets. The molds are very smooth on the outside and for the most part all outside sharp corners are removed and the surface finish is very smooth. I don't know what of how they do what they do but they are smooth. On the down side be very careful of the edges of the slots cut for the mold handles. Those edges are sharp, very sharp. That small issue I will take care of quickly with a pass or several with a file.
I was wondering about that base plug and getting it up to temp. I guess I will just have to work on that to see what works out best.
Other than that it seems to be a pretty nice mold but then for the price it should be. The bullet nose profile seems to be close to but maybe just a little sharper than a Postel nose. I think the right alloy and weight it will be a good shooter.
I just now need the time to clean up my projects and clean the bench off so I can fire up the pot and cast a bunch and give them a try.
