I would be interested in that as well. Those 6 cav’s fill up the cooling bucket in a hurry. With an 8 or 10 cav mould I guess I’d have to change how I pour the lead. It wouldn’t fit under my lee production pot. Or, maybe it’s an excuse to get one of those “sandmann 0512″s 40 pound furnaces like Dromia has! Browsing through “sandmann 0512″s videos it looks like he stole my idea to use solenoid controlled pneumatics on bullet/cartridge processing machinery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1pb73ofABY . I thought of that after purchasing an RCBS ProChucker 7 and every single g0dd@mn piece broke on the flushlinger thing because they’re made of plastic (can you believe that?!?!!?)! I’ve replaced those plastic parts with steel parts so I’m up and running now but I decided it needed something beyond what came with the stock device. I’m currently working on the case feeder using pneumatics controlled by a Raspberry Pi. It’s a fun project.
But getting back to 8 or 10 cavity moulds, I’m in, if they ever get made.Hugh Kuhns
I think a large cavity mould could be made, but how they could be used with my old hands would be difficult. I have several 4 cavity brass molds that are hard to use for an extended amount of time. I know that an aluminum mould would be lighter but would the extra bullets that are made outweigh the price of the larger block? And I think it all just opens another” can of worms ” for NOE. It all sounds nice, but is it something most casters really want?
