All pellet molds come with 4 sets of pins. You can very the weight with them and typically speaking the flat base pin isnt very useful.

Matt, do they get squirrely with a solid base? Thanks for the answer, I have not seen that before.

I have not shot any I have some casted up for testing but others report they do not shoot well. I beleave its because the skirt doesn't seal like it should its essentially a misshapen slug now.

That would be OK for me if they will retain accuracy for 20m or so. I have some 13 stripes that are very resilient to anything but a head shot, I have wounding them so a flat meplat heavy enough to carry all the way along a Texas Heart Shot, would be good for me.

 My experience is that the solid skirt pin pellets do not shoot well even at 10 yards, I suspect CG is to far back.

I wonder why Al sends those pins then? Any ideas?

I am going to make some of each for the DAR and I want to see what FPE I can get from this mold.

I was able to cast a couple hundred .25 pellets today after work and I had a lot of cull until I bent the pin arms into the mold body so that the skirts would not flash. Pressure pouring is out as there is too much to fit up and slow pouring is out due to the skirt not filling out. I regular, medium cast pour worked just fine after my adjustments.

I probably have a 20% cull right now but expect that to drop to 10% as I make better pellets the next time I cast these.

Its nice to have a full, 10# pot of clean pure lead from shot pellets and SOWW, there is probably some tin in there since they do fill out so nicely and shine brightly!

Now its time to cast 3000 pellets!!

I didn't realize you were getting the 22 grain mold too. It's going to be next week before I can play with mine. ☹️

It was the only one available so I jumped on it! I really want the .25 slug mold but I dont see that happening soon.

Here is the tin I cast tonight.

I just bought a second 10# pot so I could run pure lead in one and alloy in the other one. 😎
