DE Hillyer2 more special order molds?
Hi All! Yes, I know. We haven't got the 45 PP, the standard 30 or even ordered the fat 30 yet....but...I was just thinking ( dangerous, isn't it?)....
I would like to see 2 more molds designed/thought out/refined/etc.
The first is a 45/70 tumble lube of around 250 grains. I would like to see a rounded flat nose that casts .460. Strictly a plinker with second duty as defense gun against enraged bunny rabbits.
The second is an 8mm plinker. Maybe a larger version of our standard 30 plinker? maybe .325 or .326 as cast of WW? I have no need of a bullet designed for full power. I just want a fun 'playtime' bullet. Tumble lube but very accurate.
I see no use to get very excited UNTIL we throughly thrash out our 30 tumble lube plinker to see what is good & what is not. If that one won't shoot.....
