I reused the handles and sprue plate from a trashed Lee two cavity. The bullet is going to be a round flat nose .357 of about 140 grains. I'll post pics of the bullets in a few minutes. Mold is almost up to temp.

One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)
Nice work
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

Looking for a Hensly &Gibbs #258 any thing from a two cavity to a 10cavityI found a new one from a member here
Going to have to fly cut a few thousandths off the top of the mold, bullets are dropping at about 152 grains. Otherwise I'm happy.
Nice work. Did you use a cherry or lath bore?
might just be fine at 152gr. I'd stop right there looks goodOriginally Posted by websterz

Lathe cut with a homemade form tool
Maybe shoot a couple and see how they do? Easier to take metal off than add it back. I guess since you have the tool you could always make the 140 and a 152. Nice job, by the way.
Looks pretty good. Awful shallow lube groove.
Nicely done
You will learn far more at the casting, loading, and shooting bench than you ever will at a computer bench.
FINALLY, someone who flycut the vent lines the correct direction! Good job!
Gear
They'll be tumble lubed so the groove isn't a big deal.
The blocks fit my vise better that direction. LOL
Very nice!
That is a very nice looking boolit. I think it has serious potential.
Shoot some of them and post your results. I, for one, will be looking to see how it works for you.
Ah, a plan! I like it.They'll be tumble lubed so the groove isn't a big deal.

Looking good! Let us know how it works.
I love that bullet design! I hope it shoots well, maybe it will catch on... A lite WN bullet!
Great workmanship
Very nice looking mold and boolits! Great work
When do you start mass production, and how much will they cost? Or, next mold you make, we get a step-by-step or video? Always a pleasure to see a successful process
looks great I would also like to see a step by step or video. Great job
