Numbers indicate the cavity the wad came out of.
Been there ever since we put them there.
Petals didn't change thickness with the change in dye.

Thanks, Nick. I knew you’d know. In random sampling I see numbers from 2-9 (or if that’s a 6 then 2-8 ) Is that how many cavities there are in the mold?) |

The tint is slightly different because Kevin changed suppliers for the dye for all his wads.
He told me several months ago that the then existing supplier changed sales reps and it didn't take long before the new guy declared that he was anti gun and was not happy about selling anything that was gun related.
In return Kevin said that he in all good conscience couldn't support anyone that was anti gun and said fine leave, I'm done with your company. Then he found a different supplier which took a bit of time.

Thanks, CI.
And Bravo, Kevin! |

Do the molds leave sprue nibs on the wads that require trimming at the plant? Just wondering how much hand labor is involved.
