Standard hollow point modifications are carefully centered and aligned, drilled undersize, and finish reamed to ensure a precisely centered slip fit of the precision ground pin and knob assembly.
Includes: knob assembly fitted and one pin profile of your choice. (Standard pin sizes up to .250". Larger pin sizes and more radical alterations available at additional cost.)
Complete standard hollow point handle with pin fitted to the mold I modified in your choice of flat point, cup point, or various hollow point profiles.
Extra / Alternate pins to fit the standard handle assembly for a different cavity size or profile, cup point, or for casting with a flat point as if unmodified. For sizes up to .250" diameter. (Not applicable for original Lyman / Ideal style pins.)
Makes for very fast casting! Cramer style conversion cavities are carefully centered and aligned, drilled undersize, and finish reamed to size. Precisely matched sets of hollow point pins are manufactured, noses polished, then fitted with cross pins. RCBS molds are an excellent choice for this conversion. (Nose profiles are limited to performance proven taper and depths to ensure easy bullet release from pin.)
This conversion is available for many of the two, four, or six cavity molds. (semi-captive HP pins, mutiple cavities of a mold can be altered) Conversion is not available for single cavity molds or for molds less than .32 caliber. I need a minimum of .550" of solid block area beyond the altered nose of the bullet cavity for this conversion.
Note: Only one cavity of two cavity molds by NEI and Mountain Molds can be modified to the Cramer style system as the handle mount screw holes are too close to one of the cavities. Some molds have an alignment pin or other hole or interference to prevent conversion of certain cavities. End cavities on Saeco 4 cavity molds can not be converted due to the block alignment pins.
Additional Cramer style alternate profile pins fitted at time of modification. ( Post conversion replacements $25.00 each )
Note: HP pins may feel somewhat "sticky" in the casting until the pin end is well oxidized from use/break-in and/or the mold is at a proper temperature. Make sure to pre-heat your mold for best results.
Original HP pin bore can be reamed if needed to correct for a worn, tapered, or out of round pin bore. Original style replacement pin assemblies do not have interchangeable pin tips. Factory hollow pointed mold must be provided for the fitting of replacement pin.
Alignment of an off-center mold hollow point pin bore is not included (correction available).
Original style molds may be altered to the standard hollow point conversion, enabling interchangeable pin tip styles (standard hollow point conversion fee applies).
Gas check shank or bevel base removal and other repair or alterations such as: repairs of stripped screw holes, broken off screws or taps, drive band enlargement, sprue side resurfacing by milling machine or surface grinder (milling $15.00, grinding $22.00).
Correction of damage to mold or replacement of missing parts. Correction of damage from improper alterations is available as well. TIG micro-welding available. Contact for quote.
Alteration performed with a simple boring head and boring bar in a manual Bridgeport milling machine.
All work performed starting with careful measurements of castings and mold dimensions. Machining performed on a Bridgeport CNC mill with special purpose cutters. A nose band can be added to a bullet with an undersized nose to fit it to the bore.
REQUIRED: send a few unsized castings from the mold along for measurement reference.
I won't do all the bands on a Loverin design mold!
