Almost as good as my MP .402-165 mold. The only thing I can complain about, is that I have to squeeze it together tighter than my other mold. If I don’t squeeze the handles harder, I get that seam on the sides, and a tiny “wire edge” overflow at the tip of the hollow point. It is easily scratched off with a fingernail (almost small enough to just be rubbed off), and does not affect the performance. I’m fairly new to casting, but my neighbor who has been doing it for over 40 years says these are the best molds he’s ever used. If you’re used to the older molds from other people, the temperature tends to need to be a little higher, and don’t forget to clean them well before using them. I also highly recommend using a pencil to graphite the tip of the hollow point pins. I’ve only cast a few hundred with this new mold, but it’s well built, and anticipate using it for the rest of my life. I have no doubt it will last thousands and thousands of rounds. Very well built, and worth every penny.
