Happiness is a custom mold

After cutting my teeth with Lee molds I have a new custom made, brass mold from Cast Bullet Engineering in NSW, Australia.
This is for my Mauser 98k in 35 Whelen, 1:14 twist:
This is a 250grain GC mold, single cavity in Lee handles. The mold is a beauty to use. A clean, a scrub and a few wrinkled boolits then it was turning out lovely boolits, dropping them free and casting the next:

i like using my lee molds and will keep using them but I love my new custom mold. A huge thank you to Jim at CBE. Load will be 40-42grains AR2206H (H4895) with the boolits of WW with 2%tin, heat treated. Blammer GC. Remington brass, CCI LR primer. looking forward to trying some. See this thread I have request some information on OAL:

That is a lovely mold, and that is a lovely bullet. I would love to load and shoot that out of a 357 max.

It is a lovely mold. Not showing well in the photographs however the sprue plate has lovely hardening colours. The great heavy sprue plate just makes cutting the sprue effortless compared to my Lee molds.

Jim sends the mold complete with the two Allen key to adjust the mold. The fit is perfect for the Lee universal handles.

That bullet @ 2k should be a real thumper, nice looking mold.

Custom molds are nice!!! I have a few production molds but have more custom now-a-days because I can have one made the way I want with my specifications for really not a whole lot more. In the end I'm happy and so are my firearms. Your mold looks well finished and the materials look like they are of high quality..............I bet you are a happy camper no doubt.

SWV; what ever you're hunting just get 2,3 or more line up in a row and pull the trigger, you won't be wasting lead that way.
