I lubed, Sized and Gas checked some 155gr, .40, MP, round, hollow-points. I gotta say this is probably the last time I pan lube and PBGC my bullets. It's way too messy and time consuming for me,...

You sure will! I've made powder measure adapters, equipment knobs, thumb screws, knurled nuts.

+1 I have three MP, 4-cav, brass molds. they are a workout to cast with, but they sure cast purdy boolits! The rest are aluminum. I don't have any complaints about the material some brands are...

Thanks! That's my experience too. I let it "settle" after about 5 charges and it's good.

I got a mini lathe for Christmas. It has in those couple of weeks become indispensable to reloading for me. I've since made custom punches for my boolit sizer dies, custom boolit seaters (that don't...
for a second there I thought they paid you 125% for the mold. ;)
I can't say enough good things about accurate molds. Large selection, great molds and fast turn around. I've been very happy to deal with them. www.accuratemolds.com
