      I have slicksided molds for most of the calibers I frequently shoot, except for the one I shoot the most, 44 Magnum.

      I would really like to have a 265 grain PB FP/HP .434 mold for coating.

      Any others out there interested in such?

        310 should feed in marlins and rugers and leave enough meat around the hollow point to prevent blow ups when pushed at rifle speeds.

        Sound reasoning here.  Works for me.

        I am in for a 4 cavity mold as long as it is an RG.

            The shallowest hollow point that we can all agree on. Straight wheel weight or 50/50 will expand as a shallow hollow point. Something a thou or 3 deeper than a gold dot.

              I know its not what is being discussed but I would be interested in a smaller 200gr/215gr version with a smaller metplat and crimp groove for levergun plinking.

                I don’t have a gold dot on hand.  Here is just a “first thoughts” hp depth.  Let me know if you want it deeper, or smaller, or whatnot.

                  CM,

                  You are the bullet whisperer. I would never need a cavity to go that deep, but other might. As long as it comes with the shallow pin, I should be good on the other configuration.

                    Would we want a gas check option too or not?  I am getting excited for this bullet and want to use it in my new 16″ barreled Rossi 92 chambered in 44 mag.

                      Yes a go version would work.

                      Post a video with the Rossi. The 432-278 -WFN should like 21 grains of H110.

                        I would definitely prefer a two HP pin option, one deep and one cup.

                          how deep would you want the cup to be?

                            About the same as what came with the 278 WFN works for me.

                              Approximately half of the deep pin.

                                Ok, I will try to get the new hp drawn up sometime soon, then I think we might be ready to go live with the group buy.

                                  See if he will make you a prototype while we wait for the names to populate. I think this will be a popular mold.

                                    The prototype molds are made once tooling is there for a specific design.  I can still try to get a prototype mold, but it would be after 10 people signed up…
