    Talking Idle hands... Tools of the Devil don't you know

    My latest mold HP adventure... a SC 375248. It drops bullets at .381" and now does hollow points as well. Time to dust off the Marlin 375.

    I didn't have time to let the mold cool before I posted the pictures of the bullets, but it looks similar to the mold conversion in this conversation:

    I did a 357446 SC mold while I was at it, but didn't have any time to cast some sample bullets.

    I still have a few molds in my queue waiting for treatment:

    257420
    357311
    358250
    452374

    Looks like the pin comes in a tad far . . . if you blow up that picture there is a inside ring . . . but I'm sure when it hits something it will all flatten out!

    The pin goes in to the point where the bullet reaches full diameter.
