Hi
How makes molds for 375 and 300 -350 grain fp bullets?
regards
yes

Hi!
I have also been looking for it, but so far without success...

Vapex hade inte inne någon tyngre än 265gn...

Mixing swedish and english above, just saying that it seems unavailable within the country.

Sincerely
Daniel

Yes

N.E.I. makes a grand 300 grain round nose, bore riding, gas checked bullet for 375. I opted to have the band cut into the mold for small band near the nose to help support and guide the bullet into the chamber.
I suggest using hardened lead alloy to reduce the amount of slump while the bullet accellerates down the barrel.

hi
thanks for replies
daniel i have seeked for molds for heavier than 260 grain in Sweden in vain. it seems nobody imports them here. a good mold for 350 gr fp cast bullet would be very nice,

yes

Yes,
Try this sight. I have serveral designs I made myself that work great. The latest is a 350gr flat nose for my Sauer 202 375H&H.

I can add my second to the vote for Mountain Molds. I had them make a nice 208 grain for my Winchester 95, 30-06 and a 350 grain for my Winchester 95, 405 Winchester. Both are a delight.

Saeco makes some over 300 grains. I believe they are all plain base and listed under thier classic, or obselete section (can't remeber what they call it for sure). Also, I believe Lyman and RCBS each have one also.

Here's a pic of my 375-350gr FPGC

Hi Overkill
Do you have any good loading data for your 350 gr gas chek cast bullets. the bullet form looks ideal

yes

Yes,
Nothing firm yet as I've only cast them this winter and will now start to load them. I'm going to start w/ 2 loads. First w/ H-4350 around 68-70grs for approximately 2000+ fps & then a light plinker load of around 30-40grs of 5744 for a mild 1400-1600 load. At least that's the ideas so far

Here's some pics of todays casting. This is my new 375-350gr FP before gas checking & lubing

that's what I'm looking for! Does MM have an identifier number for it?

Rich,
This is a design I made from MM's on-line design feature from their website. I reallt like that site as you can see the bullet as you change designs in real time. It allows you to see what the changes in meplat, nose length, grease grooves, base design, etc. look like before the mold is made. I've never found this anywhere else. I'm thinking my next one will be a 900gr LFP design for my 600's to go with the 700 & 800 grns I have now. I think this one will be a smooth-side paper patch style that I will cast from solid lynotype and drive to 2200+ fps for a monster penetrator

hi overkill
nice bullets many years ago I tried a great variety of lead alloys for casting and i got the best performance with one part pure lead and 3 part linotyp. pure linotype gets very brittle and those 1 lead 3 lino bullets quenched directly in water worked like a ful loaded sp bullets and outpreformed them too.

yes

Thanks Yes,
I will have to give that mix a try.

600,

I have been thinking of doing that PP-style smoothie, and then using a knurling tool to roll a place to put some lube.
