Hi all, let's see wether there's any boolit caster out here who is up for a little experiment
Please note this is a serious post, see pics, shots taken at 50 yards
Here we go:
a few months ago i bought a 9 mm high power airgun (kinetic energy about 130 footpounds).
here's a link:

Now i've been experimenting with various ammo, since the eun jin ammo groups poorly and is way overpriced. Unfortunately it's just a pain to find anything that will fit because of the way the receiver is designed, plus most lead bullets are hard cast.
However i found two types of ammo that work: the .360 hornady roundball and a 100 grain TCFP, with a length of .450, which also is the max length possible. but i'd like to try a few more, so my question is;
Does anybody have moulds or a swage that can cast a soft projectile with a diameter of .357/.358/.359, and a max length of .450?
I'd be happy to try any design, pay for the cost and buy a whole bunch of them if they group well.
Please let me know, best regards,
vincent (san bruno, CA)
