NEI , .44 Cal. Mould , 310 grs.

[Ben]

I just bought this one, will probably arrive Saturday ? ?
I wonder if Walt made this one ?
Mould cast at .432" with 50% Clip on WW's and 50% pure lead.

I saw that post, would make a great hunting bullet. I don't know if Walt made it, I don't remember what his address was or know the address of NEI now. Glen Fryxell may have that answer if you would like to shoot him a PM.

That looks like a great shooter. I hope you have a 44 lever action to try that in too.

You have cast some by now, haven't you?

Maybe 3 days or so before the mould is in my hands.
I bought the mould from 94Doug in WI. It is in transit right now.
Doug provided the photos last night.
I have a very nice Handi that is super accurate in 44 Mag with a Burris 1.75 - 5 Variable scope
on it. I also have a Super 14 , 44 Mag., T/C with 4 X Redfield scope that I could shoot the bullet out of .
Along with a variety of 44 Mag. Revolvers.













I wonder if all " Handi's " have left hand twist barrels ??????????????

Good idea, if anyone would know,............ it would be Glen.
I just sent him a PM.

Thanks Rick,

Yep, you are gonna be happy with that mould. Long as it casts big enough it is gonna be a shooter. That HR is gonna eat em right up.

Based on the box, I would say it's almost certain that Walt made that mould. That looks like it should be great hunting bullet!

Glen said: ↑
That box looks like it was from the 80s, before Walt moved NEI up to Oregon, so yes I think that Walt made that mould.

Great,

Many thanks Glen ! !

I have a grandson that is getting older.
When I bought the rifle, I thought that it might make a good deer rifle for the boy.
Kids who start out ( in my mind ) may very well be better off " safety wise " to have a little break open , single shot, Handi rifle.

If you open it and can see daylight through the barrel, it is safe.
I figure the " Handi " is about as safe a rifle for a young shooter as you can find.
A transfer bar and a safety notch in the hammer.

Easy for a young shooter to get confused and hurt himself or someone else (......or worse )
with a pump, or auto with a magazine. They always say the " unloaded ones " are the ones that will kill you.
