Anyone had any communication with ThorMolds lately?

Website down, nothing on Facebook etc, last comment I read from ThorMolds was " I'm taking a long holiday".

Another post on here stated he was in prison.

Anyone had a delivery or any communication over the last few weeks?

I may have posted the possibility he was in prison. The last guy HM Hen apparently ended up that way.

Hopefully if Thor Molds ran in conflict with officials they let him discontinue business rather than go directly to jail.

Hopefully the guy is ok. ThorMolds.

I'm sure it was someone called Waffenspectr or something similar than made the "in prison" comment.

A couple of days ago I had a pm from a forum member, simply asking had I received my ThorMolds prize yet.
Nothing received, so far.

Like others, I've made a couple of attempts to communicate with ThorMolds lately. Not one reply.
I was simply hoping to purchase a slug swage.

ThorMolds is a mystery, hopefully nobody is out of pocket.

I came this >< close. I got an email saying they had made the wrong pellet size for my order (10.3 gr instead of 13.5gr) and could either re-make the die, take the 10.3, or upgrade to a 20 cavity 13.5 he had on hand. We negotiated for me to take the 20 cavity 13.5. I’m glad for that because if the order would have waited any longer it might never have left China. I emailed a question a couple days after it arrived and things were already radio silent.

So you actually received the 13.5 gr die?
Definitely something I'm interested in.
Thanks for the update 👍.

Personally I think ThorMolds is in a bit of 'local' trouble, hopefully he is simply lying low.

Thormold Pellet Swaging Die (early impressions)

Executive summary: this is an expensive and time consuming way to make a pellet and buying this swaging die kit does not guarantee top notch results. The cost per pellet in lead material is very good ($.01/pellet for 13.5gr) but it would take a lifetime to swage enough pellets to cover the...

Oops, my mistake. I read and digested that whole thread, just didn't connect with the username.
A humble apology ☺️.

Hi, he announced a leave of absence due to his illness, and he still owes you an order that he will resend to you once he recovers, so there's no need to worry

He also announced " I will take a long holiday after the ThorMolds prize draw".
No prizes arrived.
I'm more disappointed for the guys who ordered, paid, then have received nothing.

Too many things don't add up.

I can assure you that he is suffering from illness, not being imprisoned by China

Ok I trust you ( sarcasm ), Please educate us with the source of information and proof of your assurance. I believe the topic you are touching is of scandalous proportions because as @IMADMAN said you just joined on Saturday, there is no context if you are Thor himself or just a messenger or worst the one who put him under the bus.

I have a handful of .216 and .217 from NOE that I polished up to different sizes. Works very well and I'm not stuck with just one size slug.

Well, was gonna order that Precision Slug press but decided I'm gonna experiment with some different sizes first and see which shoots best so I just ordered the NOE resizing kit https://noebulletmolds.com/site/shop/bullet-casting-reloading/sizing-tools/complete-sizing-kit/

The Vulcan 3 supposedly has a barrel sized .3063 but I slugged the barrel and it is actually .305 and the slugs I bought from AVS are supposedly .3063 but I measure with micrometer and are actually .3053 to .3058 and those slugs were still a little tight going in the breach especially the heavier/longer slugs...so either my micrometer is wrong or they are not what they are labeled. So anyway, before I order any press gonna test different dimensions.

This whole damn problem could have been avoided if I would have just slugged my barrel but everyone said the barrel was .3063 and AVS made a slug in .3063 (supposedly) for the Vulcan 3 so that's what I ordered. Thor Press did their job right as you can see the slug I made with ThorPress is dead on @ .3063 (1st Pic). AVS 2nd and 3rd pic. But alas, Thor Press is no where to be found or I would just order another die from them in .305 because although slugs i make now are oversized they group great, just gotta keep the slugs on the shorter/lighter side.
