[Buckshot]

...............Done by a member of the British and Militaria Forums. Pictures of the tools and a few steps. Done on a CNC mill. Brillant work to be sure.

That man does beautiful work!

Was this done just for a friend, or is he taking orders?

No kidding there. That was nicely done. The skill really shows.

I especially like the locating pins. How many new members asking for moulds are there at that forum now?

Very interesting I have a CNC mill and I was thinking the same thing. If I get around to it I will post picks. Those are the nicest moulds I've seen

I'll let you guys know how it casts... And most importantly, how those bullets shoot!

.............You'll all notice the burning question of some, so adroitly sidestepped in this response :-). Slippery devil, eh?

Ah well, there's the example of a master to follow :-)

Ah, the photos show something that is a well-kept secret - - -

That a machinist's work is quite often no less art than the Mona Lisa itself!

Now, if somebody could just get us a group buy on CNC-equipped milling machines, we could all be making our own moulds!

Meanwhile, back to my non-CNC milling machine and lathe, darn it.
