Jeff Tanner moulds

[big bore 75]

I have concidered, getting a few of his moulds are they any good as in consistancy in roundness as cast? I know they
don't have a sprue cutter but that don't consern me, right now I have lee's and lyman rcbs and rapine the mould I'm casting with the rapine for my bess is not round but more egg shaped and I just don't get the results I want. any help would be apperciated. bb75

I just did a run a few nights ago have no problems at all. I had a mould for a 12 ga. smoothbore I used to have and ever ball seemed to come out perfectly round.

:m2c:

 

I have two of Jeff's moulds, an .80 and a 1.0=four bore, and I can say nothing but good things about the man and the quality of his work.

Just :m2c:

I use a .690 rd ball in my .12 ga double barrel. They shoot real well in it.

I have had excellent luck with Jeff's molds. I have one and have three more on order. My .590 mold throws a ball within .002 of perfectly round. In a ball that large I bet casting temp variations make bigger diferences on final dia. Even the smallest bit of dust between the mold faces will make more than that difference. Realy nicely made molds. BJH

I have four of Jeffs moulds .500 thru .715 and all throw a good ball very close to round,as stated above temperture variations probably are the result of any deviance. a good product and a great guy to deal with.
