Ok, they look pretty good, how did you plate them?

I fooled with plating, then found that proper boolit fit and a good lube was much easier, but I have to say those look pretty good.

How do they shoot and how's the bore for residue after, say, thirty rounds?

I can plate copper onto lead! But mercy, after I scaled it up to do 20 at a time and after a month of tinkering, mine were still awful. I gave it up. Very pretty rounds. Wish I coulda made it work.
