A custom bullet mold for Huben K1
- Thread starter Gregor
- Start date
Hi Gregor, wouldn't also be a good idea if you cast/ start production of the pellets/bullets for the Huben and sell them in tins? It looks like they are producing great results for the rifle, we down here in SA are 12 Huben owners and we would be very interested in buying them.

I have discussed already about this with MP Mold but I do not know yet if we will decide to make them...
xinjin.
Is this the Huben pellet? I have seen a picture of them at IWA. Sure hopes that they preform well...

Sorry guys about the foreign language, I was just trying to find out if the ammo on the pic was the one that Huben is working on, so I use google translate to communicate, he says that he can't get much info due to the laws over there but apparently is under production.
Again, Apologies for the foreign language.

Gregor, it looks a bit similar to your design, so you were spot on on that, I would like to see you testing those and have some input, hope they will send you some to test.
The guy that we bought the rifles from(the one that put a pre order together) bought(placed an order) for one of your molds to start casting the pellets down here in SA.

For those of you that ordered the mold from MP Molds - I am happy to say that we have gathered enough orders to start with the production.

Yes, I already have it. I am currently testing it... So far I have good results.
BTW: v2 has slightly different magazine design. Because of that I have made a slight change in the bullet dimensions to make it compatible with v1 and v2. The accuracy will stay the same, the weight will be about 1 grain lower...

Hi,
I think you should aim to these things:
1. maximum SD, Sectional Density. This is what killer-bullets are all about.
2. Cylindrical shape. While this sounds weird, from what I have read/looked at experiments, the shape does not have a massive effect to the BC in mach 1 speeds. This cylindrical shape is also the only way to keep SD high while satisfying the twist rate. (The BC argument stands pretty good unless we are talking about doing a skirt)
3. Barrel seal and keeping the bullet centered in the barrel (while low friction still occurs).
There should maybe be belts that stand out JUST barely.
4. Make a succesful target round first and then start drawing it to a hunting pellet. I think HP is not a big problem since not much of SD is lost there (not a gain, certainly) but I think up to a some degree just plain bullet should do good damage to a long range. After all you never know for sure if any expansion will even occur! Against prey, 6.35mm hole should be enough for starters
