Anyone milled a mold off to eliminate a GC?
I have two LEE molds that basically are useless to me. Little Initial costs and fact that I cant use as is makes me think its worth a try.
One is a .375 FP I use for my 375 Winchesters. First of all, Velocity with Powder Coat means Its not needed. The extra work and cost pushes me to try this on this mold.
The second is a 309-230R black out mold. This is a mold I gave up on. I couldnt make it shoot and was difficult to cast with. (Way way too many culls) This one dosent really have a GC but a dove tail. Im wanting to remove that dovetail.
Then re tap the spure plate hole and re mount. Might dril a Pilot Hole on the 230 as i would Likely be milling off more than its depth. The 375 probably wont need this.
Whats your collective thought?
Has anyone done this?
Comments welcome.
