Sdporter’s FN Snover Bullet

[Idaholewis]

Sdporter was kind enough to send his Flat Nose Snover Bullet mold up to me so I could cast, and try them. This is a DARN GOOD Looking Bullet

I Cast These first few of Certified PURE Lead to try first, they Weigh 499 Grains. I will cast another Quick Batch of these using 1-20 Alloy. I really like the looks of this Bullet! Stacey Cuts an AWESOME Bullet Mold

Man, they sure do look GREAT! They look like Missles and I'm sure they'll hit like one as well! Good Job Stacy! Looks like you'll be giving Accurate Molds some competition!

Thanks Ed and Lewis. I appreciate the compliments.
I could never compete, not would I try, because all my machines are manual. It takes me hours compared to minutes, to cut a mould.
I know (at least I think I do) that the programming takes a while on a CNC machine, but once it’s saved, a couple of button pushes and you can cut the same part quite rapidly.
I also struggle with alloy shrinkage and knowing how much oversized to cut the blocks. It’s simply trial, error, and a semi-educated guess. I always err on the large side, or try to anyway, cause it’s a lot easier to punch one down a couple thou, than to try and swage it up.
Hope they shoot good for you Lewis!!
I haven’t had a chance to play with it much yet.
Initial outings, it show’s some real promise.

What size do they drop at? If .458 or 459 I could give them a test flight in my new Sharps 45-70.

 

[sdporter]

I'll have to measure them, IIRC around ,452-.453

 

[Idaholewis]

I didn’t check Diameter? I already sized the few i cast above to .449 to ”Land Ride” in my 1:20 Twist Rice Barrel. When i cast more of 1-20 Alloy i will measure Diameter and post back
