Not wanting to pollute Michaels post on MP molds. this is something that's just happened here to me with an eBay purchase. The seller appears to be a solid guy. Nice informative talkative 84 year-old.
It is still unfolding...

Umm, yeah. Just remember there's always a guy lurking in the background who owns something like four five 2 cavity 357446s, one four cavity 357446, three single cavity 357446s, and one SC factory hollowpoint 357446. I He was researching the different widths of the front driving band. Yeah, that's it. Research. Or maybe they were all breeding pairs. Yeah!... Something.

Lets not discuss 45 ACP moulds. Especially SAECOs version of H&G 68.

I have a SAECO 8 cavity, and a 6 cavity. Plus a Magma hand casting 2 cavity. All are bevel base. I over-compensated for selling my 4 cavity H&G 68 BB during the great mould panic of 2020.

The Lachmiller showed up!!

TOTALLY, different tracking number I was not given. But its here and looks good.

Its very close to the Lyman 41032 (that I dislike) But to its credit, it has a thicker driving band then the thumb nail thick one on my 41032 mold...

That is a design defect on #410032, but once things are warmed up properly (about 6-7 casts) the mould behaves itself. The bullet shoots great in every 41 I've owned or fired, though. I am a Keith SWC acolyte--I believe that three fat drive bands of equal length solve most of the world's ills. Using something other than bear fat for lube means that 10cc of modern lubes aren't needed, either. But what do I know?
