    #1 Buck...ish

    Not sure if this is the right place or not- if it isn't, please excuse my newbness and move it appropriately !

    I'm looking for either an existing supplier of a production .311 roundball mold ( 6 or 8 cavity) or someone who could fabricate me one.

    I have the lee 2 cavity, and its great and all......... but I have a life to live, and making 5#'s of these things with that mold is making my life not worth living.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks !

    I have one of these in #2 buck. It works well with the following caveats:
    1) There's no sprue cutter, so I've been cutting with wire cutters after a long casting session.
    2) The thing needs to run HOT and the handles heat up so use of thick gloves is mandatory.
    3) Shot needs to be coaxed out of their cubby holes. They don't all drop free.

    Other than those, it drops lots of buckshot in a hurry, the price is right, and the nibs left over from cutting cold sprues hasn't effected patterns that I've noticed.
