Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: Accurate mold for casting
December 07 2014 09:34:37 PM MST
I didn't know there was any activity after my last post. Thanks for all of the suggestions.

I never ended up getting a mold but did end up finding an RZ10 at a local gun shop and couldn't resist. Looks like it's time to slug the barrel and find a mold that will work for both. I also plan on getting a KKM barrel for my g29.  Do you guys think I should wait to buy a mold until I slug that one also?  I would think not but figured I should ask to be safe.

Thanks for the suggestion but I would like to avoid gas checks.  I'll have to check their website to see if they have a no gas check version.  I have time since getting a slug for my barrel has been a challenge.  You really hit the nail on the head for an accurate mold.  :D

I've heard good things about that mold but didn't know you could get it in a 5 cavity.  A thread about that mold is actually what got me looking at NOE.  I'll give them a call and see what they can do.

I already have a lee 6 cavity but wanted something different since it was designed for tumble lubing. I have since found out about powder coating bullets and plan on going that route with a lee push through sizer.  I still plan on buying something in the 180-200gr so it could be used for target practice and hogs.

Thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the link and info. I think I might pass on the HP option. I would like to avoid the extra step of having to push pins in before every pour.  I guess if it's as simple as just pushing the pins in all at once by pressing the whole mold on a table top it wouldn't be so bad.

Thanks for taking the time to help. Didn't know blue dot was a flake powder. The only reason I was interested in that powder was since my Nosler manual showed that and unique as the most accurate of the powders they tested with their 135 and 150gr bullets that I use for my G29 carry gun.

Any opinion on this http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/product_info.php?cPath=39&products_id=45

The thing that confuses me is that the picture shows what appears to be both flat nose and HP. Not sure if you can add a piece to make it a HP or not. I know this is an option with some but not sure on this one. A heavier projectile might be good for a back up pistol when hunting hogs.

I hope I'm not breaking any rules posting this link. I couldn't find a contributor list or the rules. Since your a moderator please delete it if I'm breaking any rules.

Thanks for the reply. A star is on my list for many reasons and the way the bullets feed is just one of the reasons I plan on going that route. I've been trying to get my hands on some blue dot and unique but haven't had any luck. I've been using 800x and the accuracy is great but want to get away from flake powder since I plan on buying a dillon and getting away from the single stage forster for my pistol rounds.

I have a G20 with a KKM barrel and plan on buying a Dan Wesson RZ10.  I plan on shooting steel up to 100 yards and would like to know if any of you have found a good mold to cast accurate boolits. I'm gearing up on casting supplies and don't have much experience with different types of boolits so any suggestions you guys may have will be appreciated.  I would like to have at least a 4 cavity mold that is made of steel or brass and am guessing a round nose would be best but thought you guys could set me straight if my assumptions are wrong.

I'm looking for boolit type, manufacturer and weight of boolit.

Thanks
Joe
