being ungruved do they drop from the mold easy? i have thought about getting an ungruved mold. it limits the possabilities for its use.

Those will never be popular with guys like Rick. He still remembers a time when even he was groovy.

they just tip right out of the slick sided mold I have.
I guess I should load and shoot some of them, the PC has only had about a year and a half to cure now.

Nope, not stolen.
Walter was just too lazy to cast the grooves into the bullets. Must be a west coast thing. Probably trying to save lube grooves from extinction by using fewer of them.

Damn kids these day.

If that is the 358-125 PC, I have the same mold. They look like they might be the 358-130 PC. Difference being the latter has a rounded nose. So, far I've been happy with mine if I PC them, but haven't gotten Hi-tek to work yet. Only tried once and it ended up horrible.

That said, I noticed in your photo, you have one that has the tiniest void in it: Image I find those really easy to get with this mold and with my 359-147 MP mold- which has grooves, btw.

Any thought on what causes those? They usually are much deeper for me. I've found the best way to prevent them is a melt temp around 750 and to always start pouring at the furthest cavity.
