I have been friends with Kaido on FB for some time now. The other day we were chatting and he mentioned that he only had two 2 cavity 140 gr .36 VKV molds left.
Since reading about the 140 grain .36 with the excellent vkv design known for delivering energy to targets I suspected it would be the ideal bp .38 special replacement for a woods pistol. Reviews and YouTube videos tend to support that hypothesis.
The 240grain VKV by Kaido has made a name for itself dropping hogs, Kaido let one get close enough to get 'words of advice' from Hovey Smith in a recent video. Hovey always the gent advised Kaido to shoot the charging boar first then take pictures, Kaido says he was having trouble with his phone and cleanly took out the hog before it got close enough to pet.
In Cali another shootist used their Navy caliber smoke wagon to take out a charging pig with two well placed shots using the 140 grain VKV but nobody including the lucky shootist endorse the Navy for wild hogs that I've read.
Kaido tells the the six cavity mold is the one to have, but the two cavity is more affordable and is more like training wheels. Perfect for me. So if anybody wants the other 140 grain 2 cavity mold for the VKV universal bullet get at Kaido. Or any of his other molds. He also has a 260 grain VKV for the ROA, a 145 in .36, a 220 and a 240 in .44 as well as the big ROA @ 260 grains.
I'm pretty stoked. Kaido wants me to send my 1851 away for sight surgery, I'm thinking I might buy a pietta .36 1858 belt pistol/sheriffs model instead.
