    And a revolver appeared.

    They knew they belonged together.

    Spontaneous generation of revolvers due to excessive bullet casting.
    Go now and pour yourself a hot one...

    I’ve had them disappear as in ‘Where ln the hell did I put my ____[fill in the blank]____, I just had it.’’ Never spontaneously appear. Indian burial ground nearby?

    Hello Hawkeye1.

    These bullets are the MP 359 Hammer, brass 4 cavity bullet mold. I enjoy casting with the deepest hollow point pins installed. The metal alloy is 90%lead/5%tin/5%antimony aka lyman #2... The powder coat is ford blue from "powder by the pound".

    My next batch of bullets to size after these are a paint bucket of MP358429 cast of the same metal from an aluminum eight cavity gang mold. That mold rained bullets. Those are powder coated ultimate chrome.

    What's the best way to size a whole bunch of bullets real quickly and easily?

    I can’t say I have ever seen a hollow point that drastic. Is that a hunting bullet?

    I think it is designed as a wide flat nose hunting bullet, then this particular mold modified the design with enormous pins for the hollow point. It cuts paper like a wadcutter, perfectly round holes punched on target.

    Strange how this keeps happening This is my Ruger Blackhawk three screw 4 and 5/8 unconverted. I finally finished sizing ALL the hammer bullets and I'm getting ready to start up on sizing 358429 bullets.
