....I picked up a 4-cavity Lyman 452424 mould that had seen lots of use (as well as some abuse). The price was right, so I bought it for some yet to be decided future project. Well, the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to send it off to Erik Ohlen for his 4-cavity inset bar HP conversion. He performed the conversion just the way I asked him to, and the mould casts like a dream. I forgot to time myself on this casting session, but several hundred HP's an hour would be no problem. The bullets weigh 242 grains when cast with recovered range scrap (BHN about 8 ), and will be used at about 1100 fps in .45 Colt.

I haven't cast anything for years, but sure do enjoy looking at the products.

I would love to try them out of the muzzle loader pistol I built this year. They would be just the ticket in a sabot. Very nice looking. J.Michael
