Re: Designing a custom bullet mould

I also had a Hoch mould made for my 404 but I had mine made for a 350gn bore rider so it would have the same OAL as a 400gn Woodleigh with the nose flat nosed for expansion initiation and radiused for actual land engagement. I chose 350gn because it was not going to be used on DG so 350gn was suficient for the lighter animals I intended it for and paper - plinking of course.I can run it at 1400fps with 20gn Red Dot through 1900fps with 63gn 2209 up to 2365fps with 74gn 2208 and 2447fps with 88gn 2209. This is an accurate boolit at all these velocities and the various alloys.

Shown here. Mine is the lubed and GC sample in the middle with Eagle 27's 400gn plain base beside it.



This is 5 shots at 55yds with aperture sights with it at 2416fps over 87gn 2209 HT 90/10 ww/lino



And this is what it leaves behind as evidence that it has been through a goat even though it was the plinking load of 50/50 ww/Pb at 1400fps.
