My newest mold from MP Molds in Slovenia arrived this week. I guess it's my Christmas present to myself. So, today I fired up the casting pot and went thru 9# of my alloy in no time. This mold casts easier than any of my previous MP molds. All I have to do is slide the Cramer hollowpoint pins out from the mold, and the bullets drop off the pins all on their own. The deep round hollowpoint bullets ended up weighing 220 grains after sizing and lubing, while the pentagon hollowpoints weigh 222 grains. Now for the test; would these bullets function in my Series 70 Gold Cup. I seated them so that there was a thumb nail thickness of the front driving band extending past the mouth of the case and then taper crimped it. I was happy to find they fed just fine, despite their enormous meplat. Next up; using them for .45 Colt loads. Nice to have a bullet that can do double duty.
