Hi Devon,
A bit late I know but just found your post. I have a star .358 die I was thinking of boring out if that is possible. Happy to exchange for a .452 die if you have one. Jim

I can find data for 457191 and 457193 molds. Anyone got data for the 457192 mold?

Need help and advice,
Two of my 38/55 rifles have bores of .380" so need a mold for .382" around 250grn. Is there such a mold or do I have to get one made? If so where do I get one made?

Thinking of using newly acquired star lubrisizer with SPG lub instead of pan lubing for black powder. Any advice or experience would be welcome.

Howdy,
Just been given a Hoch 460400 / C2436 mold to try and it seems to be casting a bullet that requires a gas check. I can not find any info to confirm this. Help please. Jim Miller

Hi Bwana John, Many many thanks and a big sigh of relief. The removal sound the same as for my BSA .22. Jim
