Playing with my new mold today. Even with the HP pins they just drop out the mold.still working out the bugs as after as head and all but these should be nice powder coated and gas checked

Been playing with it more and seems 800° is it hat makes it really cast nice

They look great! How fast are you intending to push them? How hard is your lead mix?

I recall reading an article by Ross Seyfried about casting two part pistol bullets. A hard cast rear with a softer nose, the idea being much like a partition bullet with the soft mushrooming with the harder base driving through even if the nose sheers off.

Looks mighty good Wolfie.

Fine work. I read your threads on this and have to tell myself I do not need another hobby.

Make sure you ware gloves touching lead you don't want to get into your skin.

No lube grooves?

No sir

I'll tell you right now , it's irritating, frustrating, the community can be toxic and just rewarding enough to keep you wanting to try more

Actually know a Kiwi fella , Von Gruff, and he does that with 6.5 grendel max and his 7n'8 mm something's. Pure lead tip and linotype bodies. BEAUTIFUL mushrooms

One can cast out of wheel weights and then harden them by beat heat treating.

Afterwards, stand them in water past the lube grooves/driving bands and use a torch to nose soften. You'll see the color of the nose run down the bullet to the waterline.

When done, those nose softened bullets are supposed to do well on game.
