Hand cast copper plated 420 grain 458 SOCOM.

Here are the results of my latest experiment. They actually turned out rather well.

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?

this is awesome to look at but we need details please

wow very nice, can you please tell me if you ran these through your vibratory cleaner? im going to do a batch of mine to then see iAttachment 81582f i can get another layer to plate

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.

Try tumbling them with steel BBs. Makes em purdy!

Really Pretty! Got a bunch of chems sitting around, just to try that very thing, when I get the time. Really nice!!
