Cast boolits --- things of beauty

[randy_68]

Last week I received three molds and just had to try them out.
First up on the left is from an old Lyman 358156jv hollow point I won on Ebay.
The pin is worn and was making the hole off center with a lot of flashing so I rigged a temporay pin up out of a 16p nail just so I could cast some up to try. They didn't turn out too bad but my pin needs a little more work. These dropped at .360 and I sized to .358 and added a Sage aluminum check. Weight is 152 gr with check unlubed.
Next is the 360-180 wfngc from NOE. These dropped at .361 and I sized to .358 and added a Hornady gc. Weight is 185-186 unlubed with check.
And last up is the RD432-265 wfngc from NOE. These dropped and 433 and I sized to 431. Weight is 271-272 with check unlubed.
All lead is coww ac with a little tin added.

Nice work. Those HP's look OK to me !! In fact, they all look good. Now, go load them and let them fly.... Nice job. Mike

What is the Meplat on these?? RD 432's??

The meplat is .312 on the RD432 boolit. Should knock the **** out of a deer. Will be shooting these in my Ruger SBH Hunter and maybe my Henry BB.

Wow! Yes they are beautiful. Nice photography, and that photobucket feature of being able to magnify the pic to see the detail is great.

I can't see anything wrong with those boolits, except one has a bit of a wrinkle/fold where it didn't conform to the mold exactly. I'd lube them and go have some fun.
