Those are good looking bullets! I ran 21# of LBT .430"/240 WFN today. I'll lube them up tomorrow.

I only cast a small bunch of Mihec's 45-503 the clone of the H&G #503 44 boolit made into a 45 caliber boolit. In my alloy (very close to Lyman #2) they weigh right about 285gr. These I shoot our of a Ruger Blackhawk in 45Colt. (it's the only sixgun I have that it fits in, the nose is too long for my others)
1300ea. Lyman 429421 & 'bout 700 Lyman 358156.

Lyman 410610s for 41 magnum, around 500 this last Sunday.
Over the past 2 weekends I cast 47 lbs. of Saeco 9mm RN bulllets and mailed them to a friend of mine in MS. He got them today.
Yesterday I made nice shiney monotype corn cob ingots. Came from large bricks that don't lend themselves to alloying very well. Now I need to experiment with mixing with Pb and hardnesses.

This was my fun for last night. I'm casting more than I'm loading here these days. I may have to start selling some off.
HB boolits...........you did good.
About 150 Lee 210 grain .41 Magnums. (I wish I had a 6-cavity mold instead of a 2)
Fixin' to go back out and melt down about 20 pounds of indoor range scrap and make little muffins.
