New .44 caliber Brooks mold.

[J.B.]

Oh goodie...more bullet moulds & more experimentation. Great stuff ! I must have been checking this thread only a few hours before you posted Jim. Weird..almost. I have a Brooks mould of a similar design as I asked Steve to copy
Kurts effort from a few years before. So I've re-invented the wheel more than a few times already. Mines an adjustable nose pour also but casts at .432 no matter what mix I tried. From memory the error was mine saying 432/433 when ..in hindsight
( dont you love hindsight) .. 433/ 434 would have been a better choice. That said though, it has never failed to deliver. I'm not recovered any fired bullets that could tell the story of the cup base but I've twisted the tail & virtually cut off right at the
twist and not experienced any 'flyers' that werent down to my own error in the 'touch off'. The brass accurate mould that only arrived this week has a very similar ogive but with a stepped base. I dont believe you'll have any issues with the cup base
as they are fairly solid in the wall & not overly deep.
