Why does this calculator have pure lead coming up at a BHN of 8.6? If I put in 10 pounds of pure lead, by itself, the estimated BHN comes up at 8.6, instead of 5 as it should be.

Exhuming this thread from the dead, just to say, you all got what you asked for. The GP-100 3" stainless .44 special, and Lipsey's GP-100 5" blued .44 special. Someone must have been listening.
Those copper grounding rods from Lowes are probably copper plated, not solid copper, better check. :)

Sorry to drag this up from the grave, but I have been googling discontinued moulds and came upon this thread. What ever became of this endeavor?
