I have been casting frequently of late. I feel that good molds make good boolits if the caster can avail themselves of the information contained on this site. I generally cast during the winter, shoot in the spring and size and reload in the summer. Here are some of the latest I have been working on.:

From left to right:
#1 is a SAECO #281 145 grain FPGC 7mm boolit to be used in my 7TCU rifle and pistol.
#2 is my NOE 311 165 RF GC for use in 30-30, 308 and 30-06.
#3 Is a SAECO #353 180 grain FP for my .357 rifles and pistols.
#4 is a Lee 401-175-TC for my 40 S&W pistols.
#5 is a NOE 403 180 RF HP for my 40 S&W pistols.
#6 is a NOE 454 255 RF for my 45 Colt rifles and pistols.
The alloy is a hard mixture of Monotype, wheel weights, lead, and some extra tin. Have not checked the bin. Needless to say the hollow point will not expand, but it sure looks pretty.....
