New Whitworth bullet mold

[Whitworth]

Got this bullet mold off EBAY from Merry Old England. Drops a .441 bullet @445 grains in pure lead for paper patching. Going to shoot a few tomorrow. https://www.ebay.com/itm/265108778566?ViewItem...

Please let us know how they go - I might need to get one for myself soon!

 

[Whitworth]

Will do. They sure came out of the mold looking good.

From the son of the original, who does first class moulds, has a suite of past designs and will consider new ones. I recommend his work.

Glenn can be contacted through his regular eBay postings and the British Militaria Forum.

Nice looking mold.
Loading with no card over the powder?

Spent all day at the Gettysburg antique gun show ( great show BTW) and didn't get a chance to shoot any today. I don't plan on using a wad over the 55 grains of 2F I plan to start with.

LEM Moulds did used to make Hexagonal Whitworth Moulds many years ago (1970's)
Should there be sufficient interest I am considering bringing them back in "Scissor" Mould style.
Aluminium Dies, Stainless Steel Sprue Cutter and most likely complete with Handles.
Two possible options, 1) Base Pour and Hex to Ogive continuous.
2) Hollow Base, Nose Pour with slight truncation to the Nose.
I would really appreciate your feedback here as I need to judge what is the "preferred" option.
It may well be that these 2 options are both readily available and also to get a feel as to the qty. of Moulds that could be wanted.

I’d be interested in base pour myself! Thank you,

Is that a cavity or bubble in the base?

 

[Whitworth]

A cavity.
