Sir;

I received the mould I ordered today and had to try it right away.  I was very impressed with how well it cast and the bullets came out exactly as specified.   I was attempting to work up a load for a 30-40 Krag sporter I have so I tried some of the bullets in that first.  I seated the gas check and sized them to 314 in my Lyman 45 and then sized them to 311 in a Lee die.  I loaded the bullets with one of my favorite cast loads 14.0 Gr. of Herco.  The Krag I am working with is one that has a somewhat less than pristine bore and although it will still group jacketed bullets well it isn't my first choice for a cast bullet gun, groups in the past have run from 3 to 5 inches at 100yds.  Since the gun will shoot jacketed slugs I cast these slugs from 1/4 pure lead and 3/4 linotype and dropped a bullet weighing 220.5 Grains.  I seated then with the Lee crimp on the middle of the top band and this put the bullet just into the rifling and lightly engraved the nose of the bullet.  I then went out and shot 5 shots from the window of the car and they all went into 2 1/2" at 100 yards.  Even if I never use this for the Argentine rifle I am overjoyed as to how well the bullet shoots.  This may become my standard Krag bullet.  Thank you for a quality product.  You may be sure I will recommend you to everyone.  A copy of this letter will be posted on Graybeard and Hunting Firearms.

I currently have 42 moulds by numerous manufacturers dating back to 1880.  Mountain Moulds makes one as good as the best and better than most.   www.mountainmoulds.com

Anyone reading this fine endorsement needs to know [if you don't already] that this kind of experience is the norm with Mountain Molds.  I read these same very positive reviews all over the net from many, many different guys. A quality product at a very reasonable price.

For a new guy starting out casting having a quality mold like this adds greatly to your enjoyment. Dan or whoever would surely help with the right selection. Make a nice stocking stuffer....
