.358 - 310gr coated in Smoke's John Deere Green
Cast in an Accurate Molds 34-310Z, Powdercoated, then run up into a BTSniper .358 Point Form Swaging Die with a .250 Flat Meplat or Hollow Point pin. When loaded in a .357 Maximum using VV Tin Star powder and fired in a suppressed TC Contender it is really quiet.

The blue wasn't cooperating the other day so I switched to the clear because it always goes on even and smooth with only a couple swirls and with the quicker clear PC grabbing onto my boolits causes less dings and scratches. I see one of my clears caught the edge when I seated it. I'll use that one for a fouler.
cwlongshot...I can't see the purple in this color...would have sworn it was B & W.
Boy I know about 'non-repeatable' colors...once, I got this root beer kinda clear color mixing red, black and clear but have never been able to repeat it again...

Looking good Mike. I've been on the lookout for a good 30 Luger mold. That one looks like it would be great.
Here is a little blend that I'm calling Grape Bubble Gum. This is a mix of Smoke's Traffic Purple and Jet Black. This is the first colors I've blended that had a smooth color distribution. Nicely blended. H&G 50 and RCBS 38-150-SWC.

This one turned out kinda cool. I'm calling it Cherry Cola. Trying to use up some HF Red, so I mixed it in with some Jet Black. The blotchy color mix makes it look fizzy. This is an LBT 402-200-WFNGC.
