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!

what are your guys’ thoughts on doing the non crimp groove like my latest drawing, and doing the crimp groove with the original drawing (without the extended .455 band)?

I think that is exactly the way to go,  I will end up getting both.  Since we are going with two different tools we can get exactly what is needed for both specific applications and not have to compromise each of the designs for the other.

I’m also going to end up getting both.  The extended .455 band will make feeding and chambering a lot easier (for tighter chamber 458 socom guns) on the non crimp groove version, but the crimp groove version with the original drawing will have better neck tension and such for the 45-70 which needs the deeper seating.

That sounds good to me.  If we are doing both, please put me down for a non-grooved version instead of either.

I’d be interested in a non crimp mold. How many cavities? Or is that chosen later? Did we decide how many pins and what type?

It will be 4 pin set. Cavities I’m not sure this is my first time doing this. I’ll add and update the list.

Being new to this forum, but interested in the moab. Would it be out of line to ask how this would work as a group buy and what kind of cost are we talking about?

I’m going to base the price off my 4 cavity hp brass mould. 150ish. If you are interested please say so and if you want a crimp groove or a non crimp groove mould. Thanks!

As soon as I hear back from Al on the RG (hollow point mould) prices I will create the official group buys.

With two different offerings I would have to choose the non-crimp groove mold.  Don’t have a 45/70 yet.

I like the idea of 2: .455 band w/o CG; and the CG version. I’m good for one of each. I’m looking for one for the SOCOM, and one for the .45-70.

When you get a chance mike could you give me a better idea on what a 2 cavity brass will cost. I’ve been asked alot how much this is going to cost and I’m guessing based on my 4 cavity brass hp mould with our discount at 140-150 but I’d like to give a more accurate number when being asked buy potential customers.
