I’ve been casting the HTC .459 500 grain projectile for a 458 socom. I love heavy bullets and got to thinking…I would love a 4 pin set 600 grain(with the flat nose pin installed) hp mould for 458 socom. I think the heavy bullet would be amazing for expansion. I know most moulds have 3 pins included flat, short and long. I would like to see this mould with 4 pins. Flat, short, long and longer for a deep hp cavity. I would like to see a similar profile to the 500 grain bullet. I posted this on the 458 socom Facebook page and have 5 guys interested already. I will urge them to sign up here on this forum so they can get in line. Anyone here interested in this? I have a name picked out as well MOAB (mother of all bullets). Thanks!

Tell you guys what. To get this moving to the next step I will put myself down for a second mould and if noone else ends up wanting it I’ll pay for the second mould. So that gives us our 10 mould minimum and I believe more will come along as we finish up and get ready to move to production.

So it looks like we will have to run the crimp groove version and the non crimp groove version in 2 separate group buys.  Unless everyone is ok with a crimp groove (for the 45-70, not for the 458 socom).  What do you guys think?

Personally I have no problem with the crimp groove, same as the 354 grain bullet it doesn’t hurt anything in the 458 socom. If that’s the only one offered then the 45-70 is also covered with just one mold, whereas if it’s offered with or without then I will be forced to buy both just because

I would really like to see it without the groove I just think it looks better. If it comes down to the mould not being made I’ll cave and accept the crimp groove.

I am interested in both of these (have both .458 SOCOM & 45-70) but I am wondering something.  Is the nose of this based on the 500 gr. SP with the tip cut off and length added or the 354 HTC with length added to the back of it?

I’ll add you to the list. Mike made the design so he could better clarify what he did.

The nose is based on the htc459-354-rf nose and the weight added to the base.

Ok I went to Facebook and posted on my previous post about the crimp groove. I’ve asked them to come here and state what they prefer so we can get an idea of what way we will have to go. I’ve updated the list to reflect what has been posted on here so far.

Just sent you a friend request, it’s in the .458 socom group.

I added you to the group but it still needs to be approved by an admin, failed attempt at sneaking you in the back door haha.

I’ve blasted just about every 458 socom group and 45-70 group on Facebook lmao!

Sounds like we should do two group buys, one with the crimp grooves (for the 45-70 shooters), one without (for the 458 socom shooters).  I think I will probably want one of each.
