Look what I did today.

Made a hollow point mold today.

Never done this before. Learned a LOT. I will do a much better job net time.
Casts really easy and doesn't need to be super hot to make decent ones. I was in a hurry and didn't cast my best work. I just wanted to see the things. They weigh in at 187g.
Made the pin from 1018. Made the knob from Bloodwood.

Honest opinions. I ain't the best machinist ever born I know.


My old South Bend. It's ancient but works quite well!

Looks great! Let us know how they shoot!

Man, I wish I had a lathe like that. Or the room in which to use it.

These are going back in the pot. When I get time and my back quits hurting, I'll cast some GOOD ones and load 'em up.

Good job, now just wait for some to ask "How much to do mine?".

I wish I had the time to tinker like this I would get into so much trouble!!!!

Gonna try these out with about 12.0g of 2400. I'm betting they perform quite well cast from aircooled 50/50.
