New .44 caliber Brooks mold.

[J.B.]

Now another term to add.. I knew about hollow base.. learnt about cup base and now there's 'dish based'. I keep saying I've got to get out more. The BACo nose pour I've been using is running deeper at .123" deep with walls/ skirt at .045. I'd love to recover some bullets but thats not an option where I shoot and snow banks are as common as rocking horse **** around here. 80F degrees and heading for 88 F on the weekend. Yep..summer has arrived in New South Wales. It only goes up from here. So far I've stuck to veg. fibre wads and have been happy with them. A little nervous about trying ldpe for fear of losing some cases to separations. I gather its not common...but then neither is 44/77 brass. .060 is my usual 'go to' thickness and some of my best results on paper in years past was with 2 x .030 card wards. Cut with a .447 punch through BACo. Commercial wads seem to be at .446. Of course this could all be down to my not developing my flinch to the scintillating standard it sits at now. :-(
