I bought a couple more mold and I'll post two more Lyman's.

The last one is a modified nose version of the other 33, increasing the length to 1.245 and reducing the meplat to .060.

Well, it's been almost a year since I last posted bullet designs I've bought a few molds since then so I though I'd post a few more designs.

First up is a Paul Jones mold that I just got, it was made for German Schuetzens. It casts .3165 in 22/1 but, this program rounds up so, it calls it a .317 dia. Since it is cylindrical, I assume it was ment to be shot from a case but, I'll BS it.

If there are any other PJ molds out there simular to this one, please contact me.

The next two are 30 cals, the NEI I've used BSed in my 32/35 and my wifes 32/20 it shoots just about as well as my Ron Long molds but the BC is a bit less.

I haven't shot the 311365 yet but, I'll try it in a 30/40 and '06 and then when I get my RKS mounted on my Hoch.

PS
I've added my new 319201 to this post.

I believe my mold had the cherry droped in .025 short. I added to the base band until I got the advertized 184 gr bullet so, I've mark that drawing as "original".

I edited some of my first drawings on page 1 and put the actual tapered band diameters on them so, the "various tappered bands" doesn't apply any more.

A few more for your viewing pleasure.

The first one is a NEI 7mm, 4 cav that I bought but reamed the GC's off 2 cavs so it's SS legal. The last three can be had at the NOE site.

Glad you keep posting these Frank.  I've been so busy I've neglected the learning curve.  Your drawings keep reminding me.   

I'd like to do what you are doing, though I've not the vintage molds you have.  Still hope to draw what I do have one of these days.   What I really need to do though is get started on a mold I want to order from Tom at Accurate.   After I get the kinks worked out of a couple Ballards and enough reloaded for a couple summer time shoots I hope the get out in front of that one.   Was really hoping to do the drawing before I order, if for nothing else to learn the program and say I did it.   

Time keeps slipping...
  

Best Regards,
John

For those interested in the Eagan bullet designs, I resently was given Eagans catalog so, I'm drawing them up in this format. All his designs are for linotype as the alloy.

A Tribute to Paul Jones.

The .3165 & 1.17 lg, .32 molds are mine. The 25 and 1.29 lg, 32 cal bullets are ones that Dave Patterson gave me. Thank you, Dave.

If anyone has a PJ 30 cal bullet that they could send me, I would like to add it to this collection.

Frank

Just a general question.  I note that some designs in the same basic bore diameter bullet have significant differences in the length of the "base-band".   Assuming a tight enough bore-bullet fit to provide adequate gas seal; does the length of the base band make any difference other than to add or subtract mass weight/bullet length and thus S.D. ?

Wayne,
In general, the longer base bands are a feature used for BSing. It allows more adjustabilty in setting the BSer for best accuracy, as well as adding strenght to the base band to prevent collapsing the band, into the groove at ignition. They are also, in general, about .001 larger in diameter than the nominal groove diameter, to ensure a good seal of the barrel and prevent gas cutting.

Personally, I think that a bullet made for BSing should have a minimum, base band lenght of about .3 of the groove diameter but, as long as the base band seals the barrel and prevents gas cutting, it's fine. The long base band just makes it a little easier to do.

My PJ .3165 diameter bullet was made for shooting fixed, Tommy Mason has one that looks just like it but, has the wider base band, because he order his for BSing.

As yet, I haven't be able to shoot mine because my groove is .315 and it won't fit in my BSer w/o sizing and I haven't got around to making a sizer. If I have any trouble with it, I can always lenghten the base band.

A few years ago, a close friend, sold me his 44 1/2. I had installed a Bo Clerke 30 cal Barrel on it in 32/35 Stevens. At a later date, he had a 25/35 barrel put on it and I also got that barrel. I sold that barrel but, kept the 25 cal, Barnett mold. That happened four years ago well, yesterday he found the catalog that he got with the mold and brought it over to me.

Because Jerry Barnett was such a great mold maker and because he has such a wealth of very interesting and useful information in the catalog, I thought that I would post the complete catalog for everyone enjoyment.

The catalog is from March of 1994 and he was selling is molds for $85 with handles at that time. Note, that he wrote (Pg 16) that as of April 1st of '94, he was raising his price $5.

Enjoy,

Frank
