Mould identification

[creosote]

I searched a little and found nothing.
Hoping there are no dumb questions, I'm going to ask one.
What does the HV mean after the regular mould identification number mean? Lyman mould.




I know "U" is Undersize.

 

[fiver]

they are just the cherry and the maker code.

 

[creosote]

Nothing special then. ......good to know.

Thank you.

I have often wondered that. Interesting, I always thought it was there way of doing a lot number.

I have a couple with "CW" suffixis. I consider them monogrammed.

Actually you are all wrong. In this case the HV stands for “High Velocity”. You can easily run that 535 grain bullet up to 3500 FPS. You can’t do that with a standard 457132, it’s got to be marked HV or they won’t go that fast! Try it, it will be fun!

You just gotta have 1:12 twist or slower or you’ll over spin it.

Except in a 6.5 Swede.

others will probably wanna see 5-5 shot groups.

...at 100 yard intervals out to 600, in order to prove linear dispersion dontcha know.

Man, I'm glad I quit reading before that came up.

HV stands for “haunted vents”. That mould will always have multiple flaws due to poor fill out,
Best results will be had by adding 2% tin. Lyman #2 is also an option. Load them over 4895 with some Dacron and keep them under 1800 fps.

Or just buy the mould, see how it casts, and learn how to frickin cast and shoot.

 

[fiver]

jeez nobody's gonna tell him what the 2H is for?

 

[Brad]

Nope, 2 Hard to explain.

It doesn't mean anything but a reference to the cherry it was cut with.

But we were on a roll or at least a jelly doughnut .
