RE: New .44 caliber Brooks mold.
Jim,

That bullet is a little closer to the original Postell nose, that might be a plus. I have always said, if I was just to have one mould it would be a postell.
I magnified your picture and I think you have your patch quite aways below the ogive seeing the ring at the end of the shank.
If you have a problem with the base not filling out right just dip the plug screw in the alloy to heat it up and when making the pour raise the ladle when the cavity is full and let it empty over the hole. The vibration will fill the voids and make a close consistent weight.

I like the looks of that profile.
The reason a dog has so many friends is because he wags his tail instead of his tongue.
