Got my new32-115 Keith mould from NOE today.
Christmas again.
I cast up a few and loaded a round for a picture,
I placed a 44 mag round beside the 32 mag and
they sort of look like father and son.

I use .44 Keith boolits for my 9-1/2" barrel Ruger Super Redhawk. My mold number is 429244. I load them with 7.0 grains of Unique (light .44 special level load) 850 ft/sec. I was easily smacking a 200 yard Steel Ram target this weekend. I never would have believed that home made boolits would be that accurate.

I also use:

358430 for 9mm / .38 Special / .357
311316/ 311359 - CZ52 in 7.62 x 25 Tokarev (4.6 gr Scot 235) Very Accurate @ 1100 ft/sec (311359 behave almost exactly the same, but pointy)
311252 - 1903 Colt Hammer-less (2.5 gr Unique) 22 shots in 1-1/2 inches at 21 feet.
TL-401-175-SWC - EAA Witness Match .40 S&W (Don't remember the load, gotta pull one and write it down)
TL358-148-WC - Smith and Wesson Model 52-2 (4.6gr Bullseye)
429244 - Ruger Super Redhawk (7.0 gr Unique or 11.0 grains Blue Dot) 830 ft/sec
451190HX (256gr round nose) These are actually for .45 Colt, but they work nice as lead hardball ammo for my .45. Quite accurate too.

None of these are gas checked and none lead up the barrel. I cast with WW with a quarter sized piece of pewter thrown in with 4 muffin sized ingots. I don't load heavy, it saves my hand and saves powder. Accuracy is outstanding. Very glad I took up casting.

So.. I have Seven bullets that are proven shooters... Now on to rifle.
