George Rapine is semi retired and is hard to get on the phone sometimes or even most times. whenever i need a mould from him i just write a letter with all information and send to: rapine bullet mould mfg. co. 9503 Landis Lane, East Greenville, PA 18041. fax #215-679-6442. email: [email protected]. his round ball moulds are my favorites.

 

[PreglerD]

I know that. That's the cause why I want some more molds. Had already a .490 bag mold which makes real outstanding RB. Now I want one .600 and one .525.

Just tried that "E" mail addy and couldn't get the internet to accept. Will try the USPS addy.
Do you know if he sells standard inserts for his Mini molds?
I have a 580315 and would like to bump up the grain weight (for hunting)utilizing the same mold and a shorter insert.

I called them on the phone number listed above about a week ago and ordered a mould. I should have it next week.

Thanks Frank, I read that as a FAX number and didn't try to call.

Consider using a washer of the right size, to reduce the depth of the hollow base. Its cheaper, easier to do, easier to change, and far less expensive than asking the moldmaker to modify his mold.

 

[RonT]

Use of a washer would increase the length of the insert and thus shorten the skirt subsequently reducing the weight of the mini even more. Am not asking the mold maker to modify the mold, only to supply a SHORTER insert. This will make the mini heavier by lengthening the skirt and reducing the cavity.
Have the ability and knowhow to shorten the insert to accomplish the above but don't wish to.

Most inserts have a shoulder on them. If you put a washer over the nose of the insert, that fits down onto that shoulder, that shortens the amount that the insert can enter the cavity of the mold, giving you more lead in the bullet, and a more shallow cavity. The thickness of the washer will be the equivalent to grinding, or cutting the nose down on the insert that same amount. Adjust the thickness of the washer(s), and you get more/less lead in the cast bullet.

If the insert doesn't have a shoulder-- hmmm-- you could make a thicker washer that has a hole drilled and tapped from the side of it so an allen- type screw can be used to lock it to the shank of the insert.
