Steve Brooks mold.

[Distant Thunder]

I had some time to sit down with my new Steve Brooks .44 caliber, 490 grain elliptical paper patch mold yesterday. This was only the 3rd time I had cast with it and I seem to be getting the hang of it.

I cast 100 bullets, all were between 489.8 and 490.8 grains.

I did have several about mid way through that had a visible flaw after I lowered the temperature a little too much once the mold and I got in a good rhythm, but raising the temperature just a bit cleared that up quickly. Any bullet with a visible flaw is put back in the pot right out of the mold.

I have many of Steve's excellent molds, but this one is becoming my favorite!
