Saeco 4 cavity #68 H&G mould

Aha! Midway had one on sale, which I acquired yesterday, and should receive sometime this week.

Never had a Saeco mould before, and have created great expectations for this mould.

I got a couple of em. Very nice molds.

Good design. I use it for probably 60% of my ACP ammo.

Mine come from an older HG 4C mold. Loaded over around 5grs of BE they shoot great.

They are good molds. However, RCBS and Lee mold handles would not fit the one I bought.

I bought some SAECO handles... however Track Of The Wolf says:
"SAECO molds are similar to RCBS, except the mounting screws require a .008" larger hole than LEE provides. We simply enlarge the two .179" holes to .187", using a common 3/16" drill bit. They work perfectly after enlarging the screw holes in these handles."

That's what I did.

Sorta wish I had known of the modification to RCBS or Lyman handles, as I went ahead and purchased the Saeco handles as well. Not a cheap proposition, but as the old saw goes, "the quality of something is remembered long after price is forgotten."

Hopefully it will cast beautiful bullets and keep me happy for a time.
