The six cavity uses bolts and they are regular thread. Tomorrow I’ll take some pictures and post. Before I touch it I’m going to talk to my buddy for help.

I might take you up on that offer. I’m going to check with my buddy that came to the seminar to see if his dad or brother have the right tools, which they might. Wonder if M&P would have this mold in brass without the lube grooves.Let me take a look at one of my 6 gangers
If you don't have the right tools let me know - I can plunge a carbide endmill then drill it out and hit it with an ez-out.
Ahh that’s right. You gain some weight back with the lube groove gone.The solids are 200gr and the HP’s are 185 and I was more then happy with the four cavity mold due to the weight. Ended up running $143 but well worth it. I picked up the 8mm last summer and it worked great. You can never have enough molds. Feeling another casting spree tonight.
I like the 185 SWC , i run my wad cutters at speeds that are low. So low you can watch and wait for the slide to close!Nice! I was figuring that would probably do the trick but you specified 200. The 185 isn’t much lighter but it’s a well known good shooter. You’re going to love it.
No wonder why you're killing that mold...
What he said lolNo wonder why you're killing that mold...
I find it fascinating that the lube hangs onto those boolits that much out of the barrel never mind into gel. But that lube is harder flowing than some i would imagine rite?

Very educational you magnificent bastard
Yes it needs a little heat. I have a heated base now but I used to just point a 100 watt incandescent light bulb at my sizer for a while.Is the caranuba red a lube you have to warm before you fill the grooves? And any tips it the bullets have a beveled based. I going to be lubing the tray of bullets above? Should I lube them all and store or just lube on demand?
15 pounds of 9’s coated and on stage to be baked today.
This - with bevel base it's about getting the right temperature and pressure on the lubeYes it needs a little heat. I have a heated base now but I used to just point a 100 watt incandescent light bulb at my sizer for a while.
If you’re lube is just soft enough to flow and the die adjusted properly you should be fine with the bevel base.
I lube everything up as soon as I can. I don’t like storing bullets unless they’re ready to rock
You’re inspiring me man! I think I’m going to cast some bullets tomorrow!
