Sedalia Dave Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 Dang too late. If it doesn’t sell let me know.
Turkey Flats Jack Posted April 13, 2022 Posted April 13, 2022 Those are currently out of stock, that was a heck of a deal. I just ordered the slim 44 big lube mold from Dick Dastardly or I would have been all over this one.
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted April 13, 2022 Posted April 13, 2022 Good deal on the mould, but just a a matter of interest, the pic of the bullet at the bottom is not the bullet that mould casts, it is the newer DD mould, I believe. Apparently there have been 3 versions of the MAV, I have 4 very worn Original moulds, never had the one the pic shows(wish I did, holds more lube) and I have 2 of the newer ones DD sells now when he has them.

Slim I think this mold is 2nd generation and lube groove is a bit smaller than the one pictured. I am betting Preacherman just grabbed a picture off the web to demonstrate pretty close what it will look like. Good eye, this is a mold I have been needing I figure with my lead & lube supply this mold will be paid off in 3 matches
Preacherman Posted April 13, 2022 Author Posted April 13, 2022 Hi all, Well, I am certainly not an expert on these molds and I do understand that there are several versions. The mold for sale does indeed have a larger lube groove than others that I have seen and used. I did borrow the picture as it looked accurate to me. I hope that this is OK
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted April 13, 2022 Posted April 13, 2022 Going by the brass ferrule on the handle it is probably the same DD mould I use. It works fine, but not the Original Mav. Made by a different machinist than the Original LEE made moulds, he does a very good job, maybe better that LEE.
Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted April 13, 2022 Posted April 13, 2022 I used one of the Lee Big Lube molds for a few years , it dropped good bullets , but they were small for my sixguns , at .428 or .429, depending on alloy. I eventually got an Accurate mold that drops a .431 that I size to .430 and now am happy. Rex
