Anyone have a 257-420 mold laying around gathering rust?
I've been looking at it with the idea of milling off the gas check, rear driving band and last lube groove to convert it for use in a PCP air rifle. Sized correctly (still checking on correct diameter) it would make an interesting solid out of the right rifle, I'd think.
This guy's blog has put a serious craving on me for a 25 caliber - but ammo down this way is iffy. Somebody had Veral make up an LBT pellet mold, but that seems like a sizable chunk of change to lay out for such. Of course, reports are that his pellet is superbly accurate so maybe it'd be worth looking into. Still need to sell some stuff to fund the rifle first though.
