RE: Just another mould..or two.
J.B.,
Is there a number for that BACO mold? I have one of their nose pour adjustable molds in .44 caliber and I like the mold but the nose shape is a bit different from your picture and not shaped like the original Sharps as my Brooks mold is. Your BACO bullet is a good looking one IMHO.
I was kind of against adjustable molds because with other ones I've had I never seem to stop fiddling with the length. With my .44-77 I found the BACO adjustable to really give me some added versatility that goes well with that cartridge. It's been a good mold.
The Brooks adjustable gives me the original look that I wanted and in very early shooting is going to shoot well. It does not appear that the cupped base is going to be any kind of a problem, it cast and filled out easily and didn't cause any problems with the LDPE wad. I have a long way to go in testing yet.
