Swedged or Cast?

[Rusty W]

I have a friend looking for a mold for a bullet. I looked at it and thought it was a swedged bullet. It's for a .50cal muzzleloader. He called it the great plains bullet. He wants a mold so he can cast his own. Is it possible to have a hollow point and hollow base in the same mold? Here's a pic of the boolit. Is there one with a hollow base and a flat point? He said he could drill the hollow point if he could find a mold in that design.

That appears to be a swaged bullet. Others on this forum can and no doubt will answer the rest of your question.

Have to go with swaged as well.

When it has that knerling on it, it's almost has to be.

hard to cast both ends in hollow.
i'd look at a real boolit from lee for a close design.

The R.E.A.L. from Lee will come the closest.
Most versitile also.
I have fire lapped with the Lee mold.

That is the (swaged) Hornady Great Plains .45cal 285grain HBHP.

Lyman has a mold for the Great Plains bullet,not hollow pint or base .
