I have the mold of a 6.35 hole the 36gr with a speed of 970fps frankly incredible precision a real monster for long distance

Thormolds, anyone swaging with them?

This guy clamps his Thormold pellet setup in a bench vise. Slow process, but he also shoots the pellets he produced.

Let me add a few words about ThorMold products. I’ve been using them since 2021 for my experiments, tests and researches. That is why I have to say, that I never used his mass-produced molds, that majority buys, but I always make my custom orders. I can see how his manufacturing quality and approach developed within these years. There were a few issues with production and delivery terms due to some legislation specifics in China in 2022, but as far as I know now he registered a company in the USA and I hope that everything will be fine now especially taking into account that you can pay by PayPal and feel pretty secured.
I'm absolutely satisfied with the quality of Thor Molds that I have (and I have molds from many different brands, so I have something to compare with).
Here are the photos of my latest order and videos of my previous tests:

So, my best understanding is, you not re-sizing but ... re-shaping the existing MRD not so good geometry - with your custom made Thormold?
of course for practice only...

If you speak about the video I published, the situation there was the following: the quality of lead wire we use is very important. I've made a test to check the difference between the lead JSB uses (made pellets with ThorMold using JSB pellets instead of my lead wire) and lead wire that is available in my region. The difference was more than sufficient as you could see in the video.So, my best understanding is, you not re-sizing but ... re-shaping the existing MRD not so good geometry - with your custom made Thormold?

I am in Canada, and same as for myself making my own pellets or slugs I would need to rely on imports as well for raw material, beside the needed dies and presses. The airgun community is not developed enough and can't justify the investments, so my case is not simple as well.
Thanks RusBear for a learning curve.

I've been using the Thor Molds Press for my AGT Vulcan 3 in .3063 Caliber. So far love it. Hit a lizard with head shot at 100 yards and got my first rabbit with the Thor Molds slug... 62gn hollow point flat base @ 957 fps hit the rabbit at about 30 yards. Slugs are really consistent in weight from slug to slug. Wire cutter is nice too. They custom made the die for me at .3063 for only an additional $90.00

I just use a silicone spray lube on the cut pieces before I put them in press, just spray a little on them in a little bowl and mix it around

Don't know why the vids didn't post on my previous reply but they expand quickly too. Got my first rabbit with a Thor Mold Press slug...62gn hollow point flat base @ 957 fps hit the rabbit at about 30 yards. Great expansion on water jug, also tested expansion on water jug at 100 yards at 837 fps and had almost identical expansion even though 120fps slower

Not cool. Yours looks like it was dropped? I hope mine doesn't come that way. If it does, it's going right back!

As far as some play in the handle, I couldn't care less. My concern was consistent slug weight which it has been very consistent. Pressed almost 1000 slugs now and still consistent. Definitely not complaining. For an extra $90.00 they custom made a die in .3063 so for less than $1000 I got a custom made die and press where Press Slug wouldn't even make a custom size die and Corbin would have cost me $2500 for the die and press so for saving $1500 the handle can wiggle a bit, doesn't bother me.
