I picked up a NEI 178-451 off of eBay. It's a TC boolit with a short base. I realized I hadn't taken a picture till I had almost all of them loaded.

Coated in Hi-Tek Black Cherry.
I'm thinking I might have to have this converted to a hollow point some day.
Ordered on Friday, showed up today.
360-160-WFN RG2 cavity PB
I've got one more heat cycle to do tomorrow and I'll start casting.
NOE 360200FN RCBS clone, a 5 holer cause the 4 got sold while I was hunting my 1000$ club number. Sometimes things happen for a reason :) now I'm gonna ream the gas check out of my lee of the same bullet.

NOE 502-383- RF to feed a new ,50 beowoulf AR Build. It is one big A## Boolit
Never replied to my request. I receved it today and no trough. Seasoning the mold as we speak so as long as it cast good boolits, I'll be happy.

Edit/update:
Alloy: Lead 92.5% + Antimony 7.5% + Tin 2 % = 17.9 BHN
Note: After PCing them I drop them in a bucket of ice water out of the oven which gives a BHN of 20.9 in 30 days
Actual Weight: 169 grains
Actual diameter: 360"
Sized to: 358"
Length after sizing: .658"
Preheated on a hot plate and dropped four perfect boolits on the first cast and 583 later they look like this:

I'm very pleased to say the least. Time to coat them with Smoke "Clear" PC.

I just received an 8-cavity 9mm aluminum block mold from MP. My first aluminum mold from Mihec and the only 8-cavity I've ever had. Hopefully it will be raining bullets this afternoon.

Got a pedersoli two cavity round ball mold today .464 for a walker colt we are working on / with --- looks a nice mold but sticky on the locating pins - did a little run of a hundred to test it this afternoon

I got a NOS Lyman 280473 GM .
My NOE 155 gr SWC for the .45 arrived at 1830 last night. I got it washed and one heat cycle completed. Second heat cycle is going right now. I'll get some casts from it today and post pics.
did not buy it yet, because I am not sure if it is what I need. It is a lyman #512138 single cavity. it looks a little like the great plains bullet but I think it is too big for that. any help?
NOE 432-236 WC, and NOE 360-160 WFN.
Be next week before they get any use.
MiHec 357-130 TC SOLID 8 cavity Aluminum just came in the mail at lunch time. Second MiHec mold in two weeks.
I didn't get a mold today. I got a ladle (actually yesterday). It is a Rowell #1 and consequently all of my aluminum molds now rain perfect bullets.
