Title: Group Buy - .30 cal Pellet Mold 54-61 gr.
Post by: rsterne on August 19, 2015, 10:39:25 PM
The Group Buy for this pellet mold is now open.... This pellet is designed to fit and function in the .25 cal MRod magazines converted by AirGunLab to .30 cal.... Once Jeremy has received 5 paid orders, he will start work on the new pattern, and absorb the $35 pattern charge.... He has suggested a delivery time of about 10 weeks from that point.... Molds will be $135 for a single cavity, plus $25 extra for each additional base pin to allow a weight change.... Shipping is extra.... There are three suggested weights on the drawing.... All weights are calculated, but should be pretty close.... they may have changed slightly from the discussion thread.... You will need to specify the weight(s) that you want.... Here is the drawing....

To order, PM jkingsouthafrica to get the details on how to proceed.... If you are participating in more than one Group Buy, talking to him about it may save you some on the shipping.... Note that I am only the designer, I have no affiliation with Jeremy, all arrangements and obligations are between you and him.... Each Group Buy is a stand-alone, and not influenced by the status of the others.... If you decide to participate, please post here so that we know how many are involved in each Group Buy.... The molds fit the inexpensive Lee 6-cavity handles (not supplied)....

Absolutely, it is identical to the JSBs, and the .300 TJ's liner won the EBR shooting those....

If photos of shot groups and chrono results produced using this mold should get posted, I would imagine that demand would increase. How much would the cost be to produce 100 of these versus buying JSB's in a similar weight? If they shoot well and cost less, then the mounds should sail of off the shelves, so to speak.

Seriously wanting to participate for a twin cavity, but won't have the funds until "if/when" we find out if our company gives the annual year end bonuses this year...  Will know by middle of January. My 2nd issue is determining the weight --
Q: Is it possible to order the "basic" mold whatever that be, then add the needed pin sets to produce 3 different weights? What is the best combination? Already set up to mold handgun bullets, have handles, etc.

I'm jumping the gun (pun intended) since I don't even have a .30 cal yet, but am saving for one. Not even sure what I want to go with yet, although the American Slayer has my keen interest.

yes it is possible to  order the basic mold and have 3 different base inserts to change the weights for each cavity
