Definitely a very neat thing you've done here. Hats off to your craftsmanship!

So cool, the Phillips especially. I'd like to see a hollowpoint version with the reverse of the Phillips. Probably would expand quite nicely and be an easy mould to make. Just a thought...
Well, I must say, I am impressed! And I am not easily impressed. There is no way in 7 hells I could make something like that unless I got a CNC, and then to have the time to make it happen outside of making the machine earn it's keep???!!!
Sir, my hat is off to you.
I too would love to have some of those Phillips head boolits. I have had many rifles that I could drive nails with, but I have never been able to do a proper job with screws. Fortunately, most of our barrels are RH twist.......
Precision in the wrong place is only a placebo.
I'll take a few BO bobble-head CB's please. Love to shoot those at the Osama targets or BO TP.
Just wanted to pipe in and show you guys some of the possible problems that could be encountered with complex models in hard molds.
Imagine getting pieces to drop from this mold.
Now imagine just trying to cut a hard mold for this. I dont believe any "hard" mold would be doable, and get the part out of it.
Rubber molds would be the way to go for ease of manufacture. The problem with rubber molds is part consistency.
Wouldn't make a very consistent bullet (diameter).
For chess pieces or something with intricate detail, I could see the pieces having to be swaged in the fashion that screws are made.
I'm all over those Phillips boolits. I spend most days with something named Makita or DeWalt in my strong hand. They have lousy trigger pulls and I never have a #1 or #3 bit with me when I need it. Now I could just choose between .38, .41 or .45 before I climbed the ladder.
Holy home repair, Batman!

I saw this in a cartoon once. I'm pretty sure I can pull it off...
slippsodd, I can see it now....

Very cool. I'm envious of your skill.

i would love to see what that phillips does to ballistic gel.

But those are JIS, not Phillips.

If you used a thread form with a rounded root & rounded crest, like a British Whitworth, I believe that they would drop from the mold better.
