    Careful with that pin

    When I was casting with my 225462 hollowpoint mold today, moving as quickly as possible to keep the pin hot and getting great boolits. At one point I wasn't careful enough with the pin and didn't get it turned enough to lock it in position. It slipped on the pour, and I got this. Still a tiny hollowpoint though!


    Thought it got back in the pot with the sprues, but just found it.

Love casting small boolits, let me know if you have one that I don't that you would part with!

    Wow, really good looking bullet other than the improvised "ballistic tip". You should really pull that stick out before someone gets an eye put out :P haha

    Have cast a few of them myself (I hate to admit)! Have never considered trying to shoot one. If someone does however would be interested in the results.

    I dunno about the rest of you, but if the bore measures out at .100/.224, it just might work.

    but that is pretty deep rifling
