    Think a mold would be doable for this?

    Beautiful works of boolit art! Multiple seconds for having a table at gun show. Bet they would sell well.
    I think it would be neat to see some of these designs machined out of steel. Then placed in a cartridge shaped handle and sold as a tool set!
    Would be a very unique tool set for firearm enthusiasts.

    I think it would be hard to get that to fill out well, and very costly to make. Also, might be horribly inaccurate if the twistvin the barrel went the opisate way.

    I wonder where OLDPARA went to, haven't heard from him in ages.

    Hope he is doing well, I do miss his contributions to the site.

    He's around! He actually made the mold I talked with him about above, and it is a thing of beauty. He's a very cool guy, and every bit as talented as you would think.

    The bullets won't turn screws, so we'll have to see if they can drive tacks.
    In the market for a multicavity Mi-Hec 9mm HP mold.

    I presently cast for .380 ACP, 9mm, .38/.357, 30 cal and .45 and 12 Ga slug.
    I am particularly grateful for the help I have gotten from members Red333 and MSRdiver, and OLD Para (who made a crazy mold on my design!!!!!) as well as excellent guides by Recluse for his ideal lube process. I have been experimenting with poly coating too.

    PM me if you know of a very cheap source of birdshot, or an efficient way to make #4 Buck.

    there were a few kinds of shotgun slug that did, the old Brenneke comes to mind. They sounded like a missile if you were anywhere close to another hunter

    Now this would make a slick looking wadcutter. I wonder which would win in a gunfight--the phillips head bullet or wadcutter?!

    Hi oldpara.First I want to thank you for your service.God bless you and yours.This has been a most enjoyable thread.I think that the only other web site that I go to that has this type of talent is "The jalopy journal".Great bunch of gearheads and fabricators.Your skills are just outstanding.Thank you for sharing them with us.
    As for the "whistling bullets",the buffalo hunters used them in their Sharps Big 50`s to give the Indians a scare.From what I read,they would bore a hole appx 45 degrees to the center of the slug and let`er rip.From what I read,they would scream like a Banshee in heat,
    Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.
    Leo
