My sentiments exactly ! But I’ve got the load pretty much worked out and now have tried it in all four of them . So if I take this new mold and cast enough to fill two or three small coffee cans that oughtta last me for life . More of them will be shot at paper rather than four legged brown cloven hooved rats :whistle:

Got an email last night that the mold is in my PO Box . Seeing how the week goes I may just cast with the new mold on the 22nd and if so I might go in to the shop on the 23rd and try loading a few .

I’ve still not tried the Marty’s mold for 000000 buck . I did however shortly after acquiring that one order two four cavity .410” molds from the Russian Federation thru Fleabay . The Marty’s mold has 16 cavities but I’ll need to trim sprues then roll before I’ll be satisfied enough to load them (I’m kinda anal about sprue knots) . The two Rooskie molds only cast four per mold however they have sprue plates to shave the sprue off at what appears to be close enough so no sprue knots and no need to roll them . Got a Pheasent deal Saturday and it’s supposed to snow here Sunday but we will see . Incidentally the Rooskie molds got here in 14 days from the moment I bought and paid for them , they said anticipate an almost two month turn around .

On a side note of sorts Marty’s Molds had these on Fleabay also so I got one to hopefully use in the 10 gauge guns .

The back half of the gun returned today from Dudley Enterprises ! He said he’d be quick but I didn’t expect it to be only two weeks I was expecting more like 4-6 weeks ! Thanks Brian !

I like the thickness. Was it cut down ?

That’s the original base plate and new silvers pad that was cut off it base plate and thinned down to attain the LOP I was after . I kinda like it that he was able to retain the original or what I assume is the original baseplate . But to be honest I think I’d like it better if it had been ordered with a SBP instead of a pad .

Got the barrels back this morning from Mr. Gorman . They look great to me !

Dang!!!!

That one will kill a deer next season ! Well provided I’m still upright :rotf:
