I know many things have been done and are possible, but with what we know, there may not be the need for match ammo prep. I would guess that the new mold is an attempt to replicate that didn't translate as would be hoped.
I would almost universally lean towards softer alloys for antiques assuming I'll get whatever bump up that was needed. How many mold weights and designs, and alloys are worth pursuing? Maybe, get some mileage on that first mold out at the range, minute of pie plate is honest and reasonable. I bet the second mold, if ever wanted, will hit the goals better after some experience with the rifle.
