New .44 caliber Brooks mold.

Jim,

I sent Steve a original Sharps profiled bullet for a adjustable mould several years ago and I forgot to tell him to make it a flat based but it came with a cup base and that mould is what I sent for him to clone.
It is a very good performing bullet for all of my .44's.
I since made a flat based plug for mine. I was going to just turn the plug but I thought I might ant it later on.

With the cup based I found it performed the best with a twisted tail trimmed off with a toe nail triller. It helps protect the thin skirts from damage when the charge goes off and pushes the wad into the cup and this also has a tendency for the gas blowing by the wad cutting the patch. The twisted tail fills the cup holding the wad full diameter.
I think I gave you a bunch from this mould.
