Had a great day casting today! I received my three custom molds from "Accurate molds" today! Great turn around time Tom!
This is the 525 grain Postell clones that I casted today {Mold design 46-525B}, (actual weight is an average of 548 grains with a near pure lead alloy). There are a few boolits that will be discarded in the sorting process hiding amongst the other boolits in the pictures. They were not sorted at the time of the picture, but I was getting impatient to get some pictures and a thread to share with you guys! LOL!

This bullet is a 420 grain (Mold design 46-420H), double crimping groove bullet. The extra groove compensates for the shorter Hornady brass I use occasionally. This should be a great hunting bullet for my T/C Katadin Barrel, and Marlin Guide Gun!

This bullet is a design (46-482T) that Tom at Accurate Molds drew up for me when I sent him my serrasafe chamber cast dimensions to fit my browning Miruko 1885, BPCR in 45-70 Govt. If I seat this bullet to the bottom on the lower rounded relief groove, this bullet is placed against the rifling and fills the throat of the chamber very,very well! Tom suggested for me to add the two rounded relief grooves to reduce the leading potential of such a large surface area of the nose section. If this boolit design shoots well, it should be a Hell's Hammer to the game! I can hardly wait!

Here is a picture of the 525 Postell clone (actually 548 grains) on the left, and the 485 grain "Hell's Hammer" (LOL), bullet on the right. I lubed the lower round relief groove by mistake. But I will shoot it that way anyhow for the initial test. The "Hell's Hammer" is an experiment I am trying for my Browning 1885 BPCR. I think its gonna be fun!

I will report back with targets, and load stats information, when I get the chance to shoot these loads!
Hope you like the pictures!
