I have been casting a long time. I have been shooting 10mm's since late '80's I bought a Lyman 200g TC mold about '89-'90.  Good mold but small meplat. Looked didnt find. Later I discovered Double Tap would sell just there hard cast gas checked bullets. So I bought a couple hundred. Then year id so later another couple hundred. Then year or so they stopped selling them.
I found NOE had a nice 180 hp/solid so I bought that. Nice mold, but I wanted more...  My buddy offered use of his MP 402-200. I gratuitously accepted. I cast a bunch and returned. Couple years later, I asked and borrowed again. But a few days later he called asking for it back as he had forgottenly promised it to another.
I was looking at molds and saw Arsenal had in stock a 403-200 WFM PC mold. Quick inspection showed it very close to the MP in dims so feeding should be fine. I ordered and received it in about a week. GREAT MOLD AND SERVICE!!

I cast up a couple hundred 100% Lino for my hard cast. Then a couple hundred more 12-13 Bhn for regular use. I also made a video.

I don't have a slick sided mold yet.  That sure looks like a nice one.  Loved that first pour too.  Been there many times with sprues that just won't harden.  Better than wrinkly bullets for the first 10 pours though!

p.s.  Loved the background music!
