Thanks Buckshot for the hollowpointing job on the mold. I have jut now fired one of the boolits from it and looks like I have the mix right and they performed just as expected. Great Job.

He did a great job on a sizer die for me also. In fact it's now my favorite sizer die. I got it dished and vented and it is very smooth. Plus it sizes right on what I wanted.

I too have had buckshot hollow point a couple of molds. I wanted two pins for each molds, one that would open up fast at moderate velocity for shooting varmints and one that would open up slower at faster velocities. He took the time to explain to me what would work and built custom pins for me.
I have done expansion testing on the bullets and they are awesome. I have not started developing loads yet, when I get some decent loads worked up I'll post them. I would highly reccomend buckshot for this kind of work.

I have gotten a couple of sizer dies from Buckshot as well. Superlative craftmanship and a fast turn around. A great man to deal with too.:drinks:

He has HP'ed three or four molds for me, and they are all great. Happen to be one of those who thinks that HP'ing a blt promotes stablization in flight.

He is awesome! Did this Lyman 358156 for me. I ordered 2 pins, and he threw in two more he thought I'd like (I do). What a guy! And his machine work is first class!
