Title: bag mold
Post by: Squeeze on March 30, 2013
do those little 1 ball bag molds make a good consistant ball? It just seems I can get a bit better group in one of my little .32 rifle with a hornady .315 ball and a .013 patch than I can work out with a .311 ball. ( prob just that I havent found the just right patch yet) guess im more looking for a .315 ball mold without having to pay the custom prices. Ive been looking around and almost fall off the chair when I see the price they ask for anything I can find.  Ive seen the old TC .32 molds advertised as .315, but theyre abt impossible to find.  should I just keep searching for patch material??

thats kind of the point, I have a lee mold for .311  not really a fan of the aluminum mold to start with. Im really looking for a .315 mold. the only thing is one of the small  1 cavity bag mold types, or a custom order like $130+ deal. I was just wondering how consistant the balls are from one of the little bag type molds. before I ordered one. seems it would be hard to keep the heat right to get a good batch of consistant weight, without mostly culls

    Somewhere on TMotC there was a post concerning bag mold, custom made for around $70.  I  will try and find post.
