I had the mould custom made by Richard Hoch in 1978 but can't recall what instructions I gave if any, other than the weight I wanted in #2 alloy. I suppose the number of drive bands mirrors many of the homogenous bullets available on the market now although of course they weren't around back then. The mould actually throws a plain base bullet but I get superb accuracy by using a gas check. Just spin a shoulder for the 44 cal check on the lathe. Does not take long to do a whole batch using a collet in the chuck to hold the bullets.

They feed perfectly from the magazine in the Mauser.
