Greetings!
When it gets a bit warmer and after my hands heal (carpal tunnel surgery), I am looking at doing some serious casting which will include the Lyman 356637 hollow point bullet. This will be my first venture casting hollow points, and I understand that in order to create really good hollow point bullets, I have to keep the pin hot!
I have two avenues that I can follow, either:
a) quench casting and running the bullets through the Lubri-sizer, or
b) drop to a cloth and allow to air cool, then powder coat and run the bullets through the Lee sizer.
My question is, what can I expect from a hollow point that has been quench cast. Would the hollow point bullet:
a) act like a round nosed bullet with no expansion,
b) exhibit some degree of expansion, or
c) fragment if it hits bone or a hard surface?
These bullets would be cast from mostly straight wheel weights.
Thanks in advance for your help!
