Well done sir! Welcome to the addiction of collecting molds and alloys!
It feels good shooting something you made
You can now dial in your groups with alloy hardness, boolit diameter, and powder charges
Case length, sort by headstamp, anneal frequently, use a balance beam for all loads, only load on a single stage, check the concentricity of the boolit seating, weight sort all the boolits ------ the list goes on and on
To save some of the cost don’t forget a lot of members here will gladly share some different bullets with you (usually cheaply or just the cost of shipping) so you can try designs before you buy. I don’t take advantage of that as often as I should before I buy. But I like options .
Awesome Job !
You have earned a great big ... ATTABOY ... and I'm buying

wow that looks like maybe 5.5 MOA mean radius? thats awesome. Did you shoot that offhand?
Sometimes casting and PCing kinda feels like work. Then I load them and take them to the range and start a range day, and it all comes together and I don't want to have to leave.
It's all good
Helka, Great Job!!!

Congratulations on your new adventure into cast bullets in a handgun. Even having done it for decades now, I still find it very rewarding. I've taken game with mine, shot competition with them as well. I got off to a rocky start with my first cast bullets in a handgun, then success finally came. It's nice looking at prices today on a 1,000 rounds of cast bullets online for sale, then sitting back and smiling at how little mine cost me. I gathered most of my alloy long, long ago. Keep up the great work.
