Good day of casting

Not sure how many are in there but it has to be close to 200. 395gr lyman plains bullets. I'll get a plastic or copper drop tube and turn them into hollow points next.

Nice, clean slugs!

 

[Hylander]

Those look great

All 215 I made were keepers!

They look close to the 420gr NoExcuses I have. Yours have a little more rounded nose.

 

[exMember]

they'll all sport a hollow point very soon Pete. I want to test a few first to see if it helps expansion or not. I'd try it today but its frrrreeezing.

 

[Muley Hunter]

What diameter are they?

 

[exMember]

.502" at the top band.

 

[Muley Hunter]

Check PM.

 

[Muley Hunter]

They sure look good. They look polished.

For everyone else, This is made from a Lyman Plains bullet mold. Not to be confused with the Hornady great plains bullets.

 

[Smoketown]

Try using a 'v-block' and a drill press to hollow point a few.

You can vary the diameter and depth of the cavity with minimal effort.

When you're happy with the bullets performance, you can turn a nose plug for the mould.

Cheers,
