    Man, a MARATHON casting session, eh? Ha ha!!

    That mold is about one of my most favorite of all time in the .45 Colt. Bought mine a year or so back from an auction supporting this forum and they are just wonderfully accurate in my flattop Blackhawk. Love 'em!

    Nice work. Whatcha lubin' 'em with?

    If I may ask, what size do they drop out at.

    Thank you

    They look pretty bad to me. You better send them to me so that you won't badly disappointed when it comes to shoot them.

    But seriously, them's are so good looking, they have to shoot well. I like that boolit very much. If I could get it in a four cavity, It could be my only 44 mold.

    Looks great.

    I need to figure out what I want so I can start casting for my DW 445 Supermag.

    Those are beauties, sure hope you had your Star fired up for that pile. I just finished a big pile of 452460 from a old 4 cav Ideal. I've got the Star filled up and ready to go, oldest son can shoot them faster than I can pour and size them.
