When I was casting with my 225462 hollowpoint mold today, moving as quickly as possible to keep the pin hot and getting great boolits. At one point I wasn't careful enough with the pin and didn't get it turned enough to lock it in position. It slipped on the pour, and I got this. Still a tiny hollowpoint though!

Thought it got back in the pot with the sprues, but just found it.

Wow, really good looking bullet other than the improvised "ballistic tip". You should really pull that stick out before someone gets an eye put out :P haha

:coffee:Have cast a few of them myself (I hate to admit)! Have never considered trying to shoot one. If someone does however would be interested in the results.

I dunno about the rest of you, but if the bore measures out at .100/.224, it just might work.

but that is pretty deep rifling
