I'm really impressed with the quality of these molds and the brass one I got threw the first bullet perfectly. Out of a quick run of 150 or so I threw back maybe a half dozen which were my fault and not the molds. Going to try an aluminum mold next for the 44.

It did shoot a bit better that way. It also preferred the longer brass. The double set trigger was a pain, as the triggers had to be set before you could fire it, which was really a pain if you wanted to let the hammer down on a live round without an AD.

I don't like it either and have found the safest way is to just drop the lever and eject the round. I've got to go into mine...its taking two sets to finally kick the sear out of the notch. It didn't start out this way so maybe its debris. The Pedi's have a tension adjustment on the trigger spring and I'm wondering if the Ublerrtis do too.

I think they do have that adjustment, but I wouldn't swear to it.
