Not to sidetrack the discussion, but I wonder if something this heavy would fit and/or could be launched from a 50 Beowulf...

That should work.

Any one got pics of expanded bullets?
After I stopped for the night, and looked the buy over a bit better, I think they better up my order to two.

Just received word from Miha that he has 40 blocks ready to cut cavities. He's waiting on pins. He has asked to CLOSE this group buy. Thanks for all the fast orders. You'll be seeing molds soon!

I may have to cast several with pure pewter in order to give them away as shot glasses. It's going to be a fun mould to say the least.
Not to ruin your fun, but lots of folks back in the day died from lead poisoning from their pewter ware. Lead was commonly used in the day.
From WIKI:
Pewter is a malleable metal alloy. It is traditionally composed of 85–99% tin, mixed with copper, antimony, bismuth, and sometimes lead, although the use of lead is less common today. Silver is also sometimes used. Copper and antimony act as hardeners while lead is more common in the lower grades of pewter, which have a bluish tint. Pewter has a low melting point, around 170–230 °C (338–446 °F), depending on the exact mixture of metals.
So, just use straight/pure TIN. Very expensive at today's tin costs. But, fun all the same.
