Thanks Jeff, I do know how much you appreciate a fine mold.
But I couldn't sleep, just kept bugging me and at some point I remembered seeing his name in print. Could not remember if it was in a book or in something I printed of the net and 3-holed into a folder for future reference. Then "as big as daylight", there it was on the cover of a small folder, "From Ingot to Target: A Cast Bullet Guide for Handgunners" by Glen Fryxell & Rob L, Applegate.
So what I have learned so far is the Mr. Applegate is a talented gunsmith, shooter and sometime maker of molds. From what I gather he stop making molds around 2002-03 (maybe), and did not produce all that many. I read of a pamphlet or catalog of mold designs, but no luck on locating on on the web.
The one common theme that I have read about his molds on various forums & other sites, is that are considered the "finest of the finest", with tolerances dead on.
Come on guys, I know some of you out there can shed some more light.
