    What Are These

    My friend has been casting bullets with these and they make really shiny bullets. Does anyone know what these are?

    leaving then the question what is the alloy .....and that ummm could be anything
    shiny castings are oft obtained at a low enough temp to "just cast well" ( a close relationship between mold and melt temps with a decent enough cadence to maintain it ) some,such as those tumble lubing, may prefer a wee bit warmer to keep a slight frost going , some molds also prefer to work on the hot side
