I'm looking for a mold that will give me the same Boolit that I have been buying from Cast Performance. I am new to casting but I have been hunting with this boolit for several years with excellent results. The boolit I have been using is listed as 458/420 WLNGC sized to 459 it has a .360 meplat.

I have killed several hogs and deer with this Boolit loaded up to 1800 fps out of my marlin 1895. I know that sounds like a lot of power to shoot deer with but I think it wastes less meat than modern j-word bullets at high speeds, it may leave a large hole but the meat around the hole is still good. I have shot deer with high speed bullets and half the deer be blood shot beyond use.

Cast Performance was using Verals designs for ages. Tey and give Veral a call and see if he can whip one up for you.

Check with Ballosticast, I think they made many of the moulds used by Cast Performance. That was the feeling I got the time I talked to them at the NRA convention in KC.
