Special casting mold needed
I am in NEED of a tool & die maker that has experience making hollow base cast lead bullet gang molds. This will be to make an item quite like a small projectile but not for that intended use. I also require a gang for the hollow bases. Would like to pour 5 or 10 at a time. So as i do NOT get back here very often can you kindly reply to:dragon@actcom.net

Dragon,
I've never seen nor heard of a multi cavity hollow base mold. Doesn't mean there isn't such a beast, of course. However, to form a hollow base, you must have a removable base plug in order to release the cast projectile from the mold. By the time you remove and then reinsert multiple plugs, you would lose much of the advantage of a gang mold and the mold temperature will likely drop, causing defective castings. I'd try a swaging press if I were going to invest in custom tooling for such a purpose with volume in mind.0
