phillips head anyone ?

The Nike missle and the Slim Pickens bomb...
I already have the bomb, the one on the left. But no Slim Pickens, the detail would be incredible and just wouldn't be cast friendly.

So here's my rendition.

That's awesome! I'd want one of each just to display on my desk. Little lead works of art!

Hope I'm not in trouble for this one....

hahahahaha! As I giggle out loud, my wife is wondering what could possibly be so funny about cast bullets!

My wife would enjoyit more if I were modeling kitchen cabinets or hardwood flooring

You are being utterly practical, realistic, and probably correct ... Boooo
For me personally, I don't know that it can't be done. I'm kind of stupid that way, and I probably waste alot of time at it but I have fun pursuing the fanciful.

Yeah! What he said!
Sad, though, that some of these are our version of the Gonkalator Armature -- they'll never exist in the physical world.

Bet they sure sound NICE goin down range lol

Look in " Cartridges of the World" at a 500 Whisper. Very heavy, very streamline bullet good for 1K+ yards. So if we made a heavy bullet with a whisle function..... Gives new meaning to "fair chase" in the hunting fields. As to Doppler its been a long time since I saw the formular but I remember 2x the speed etc. So the down range side I'm pretty sure would probably be ultrasonic and the back side infasonic. (sp) Still a fun thought.

OK, 50cal, 200 - 300fps, high angle fire... Raining screamin meemies.

They made you a sticky, Dana!

I am really honored !!!!

BTW, the bomblet boolit you sent is fast becoming my favorite. I know you think the faceting is a flaw, but I think it makes that particular boolit that much more special. Kinda makes it look like the case is a bunch of sheet metal pieces tacked together. Very cool.

June is creepin up.....

These are the ones I'm trying to get done.
A 6.5mm phillips, the whistle (but it's solid, no real whistling), the soft serve, a pencil and eraser, the old pencil sharpener, and the football I'm cutting now.
The others are conventional and are on the bottom of the to-do list.



The football one really caught my eye so I'm anxious to see if it comes out decent.
It would be a rather deep seated 357, but in a rifle it would spiral down range just fine I think.

Too bad you can't make "sell-able" molds but I realize custom mold making for profit is an expensive endeavor.

I'm gonna jump up and down waving my arms like a lunatic crying for that soft serve in .312 with a nose twist rate at 1:9.5R in a grain range of 175 to 200... It just screams as a potential long-range boolit... (this would be me dreaming... )

Another thought for increasing BC on a long pointy would be to have golf ball dimples, but that could be really tricky to cut in a mold, especially where it would have to miss the parting line.

The dimples wouldn't have to miss the parting line any more than a grease groove would. It would only have to be designed in. No reason for the dimples to catch.

oldpara: Just finished reading all the posts on this thread ... fabulous work and great ideas from all suggestions. What would it take to receive for display a set of those boolits in post # 275? 'Tuck (as in Kentuck)
