I will be looking into trying to getting set up to cut my own molds sometime next year, but I have no idea at this point how that will go. It would have its advantages and always worked out well for me before, well at least eventually. Not every mold I made was a winner, but not every mold I bought was either! My thoughts on what makes a good bullet continue to evolve. That is part of why this stuff remains so fascinating to me, that and my love for the old guns.
Jim in that 17 twist barrel, you may find that my .434470 mould from Buffalo Arms works quite well. My 44 2.4 shoots that bullet very well, and the small amount of vertical it will hold at 1000 is pretty amazing.
The problem with that bullet in the 19 twist is it's just a tad long and past 800 it can deal you fits especially in a cross wind.
When my #1 is getting close to going on the floor, I will have Brooks make me the dual diameter bullet with the original postel nose at 1.3 inches long to the same measurements as those I gave you when I was at Lodi.
A wise man can always be found alone. A weak man can always be found in a crowd.
