I've heard good things about this mold.
So, I was working the one and only annual local gunshow, I always put together a table of junk, that looks more like garage sale items (of a sporting nature). A friend and fellow caster has had a table at this show as well (for the last three years), He sells his excess casting stuff, for the most part. I generally buy most of his molds that he puts out, except for this year. This year he had 3 or 4 MiHec molds...one was a 4 cav that was marked 311-180. I asked him if it was the famous 30 Sil by 45 2.1 ...and he couldn't recall the details. Well, I just bought it anyway, not knowing for sure and hoping it was the 30 sil.
After coming home, and a quick search of the GB archives at YouknowWhere
It surely is the 30 Sil mold. Never used, still in shipping box from "Slovenija", complete with allen wrench and top punch. Paid about half price of the original GB ...and feel kinda bad for workin' him down on his marked price, now that I know what it is. I hope to get some cast and shot...and will post some reports.
