post any castboolit related photo (obviously no porn or nothing pornlike).
If posting a photo of a firearm, it'd be nice to see a castboolit in the photo somewhere.

I'll start it off, with one I posted a few years ago.
11mm French Gras

Bought these bullets & primers at a recent yard sale & thought I would add a bit of Herco to see how they would work in a S&W 44 Special...

My Christmas present, from me to me. Since I just took the picture thios afternoon and had not seen this thread prior I did not include and cast boolits. Not sure I want to use them in this configuration anyway.
But, I like my present and just want to share.

Happy New Year everyomne.

Loaded these up a few days ago. Just a 250gr plinker load for .45 Colt. I posted this on another forum thus the Tops Tracker.
(For some reason the picture uploaded really badly. :-(

My first casting with 50 % COWW and 50% linotype, and this was my first week casting anything. Love these Lyman 358156's cast about 650F.

They don't look polished to me. You can still see the machine tooling marks from the mold. The shiny sheen is most likely a product of the lower casting temperatures.
