    It probably won't be the winning pic, but I used this set up for over 15 years and cast thousands and thousands of bullets. The hotplate finally gave out about a year ago, and I replaced it with a Lee 4-20. Pictured is an LBT .512 525 grain GC mold for a 500 Linebaugh Maximum.

    Two RCBS molds, both 300 gr GCFP. One mold modified to cast one cavity the standard 300 gr FPGC, the other cavity to cast FPPB. The second mold modified to cast one cavity GCHP and one cavity PBHP. Two molds, four cavities and four different hunting bullets.

    EDIT to add: The work on the molds was done by Erik Ohlen of Hollow Point Mold. This is the picture on the cover of Glen Fryxell's book: From Ingot to Target.

    A chaotic scene in the hobby-shed of a newbie in casting, photo is taken a few seconds before the very first casting with a brand-new mould :
