Glad you can eat them. I tried eating carp from a nearby lake and I had the worse belly ache. After that I buried them in the yard. If I knew what I know now, I'd cook them and feed them to the...

If I had this alloy, I would cast 9mm and 40 with it. Then to reduce the antinomy in the alloy, I'd find pure lead to dilute the percentage.

Have you tested your MP HP bullets for expansion yet? If so, what alloy and load are you using?

Thanks

I've noticed that old people try to give away their stuff when the end seems near. I'm not there yet but I've had a Toy Box rule of thumb. Honestly, I make exceptions because where am I going to put...

Tin is pricey. Maybe look on Craigslist for some pewter.

I have not cast with pure lead yet. I'm currently casting 9mm, .38, .40, and .45 hp bullets using .22lr, pellet, and FMJ core lead and with various percentages of tin: 40:1, 30:1, 20:1. I've been...

Here are some ideas. First, you can cast some hollow points, PC them and you won't get leading issues. To keep your costs down, buy some PC from a local PC business. He might have some colors he...

Are your 45cal bullets made to take a gas check? BP shooters use to use a paper check. I've pulled .303 military ammo before and found a paper gas check. Could you get away with using cardstock...

how do you get the pins to fall out and drop the hp bullets? Glove and thumb?

Tonight I learned to cast boolits with my 2 Cavity MP Mold better. To heat my brass mold, I rest my MP mold onto my hot plate handle side up. I then take a propane torch and heat the sides on all 4...

I'm fortunate to report that I acquired a stack of school workbooks that stack up to 3' high. I will wetpack these for my testing. Maybe for yourselves, if you know a school janitor, he can keep an...

I have a lot of ingots of the same alloy. I want to do the same as you but have instead just cast increments of the unknown alloy with varying amounts of tin in comparison to MV. For rifle bullets,...

The Lee .38-150SWC shoots well. I also cast the Lee.38-158FRN and it shoots good. On my next day at the range another test load is 9-122TC PC'd up to .358-122. But if I were to punch paper I'd like...

For toughness and internal disruption, how about casting Lehigh shaped bullets with Babbit? I've cast 40:1 and 30:1. Now I am thinking that I should cast 20:1 and 16:1?

I only know of the 10mm and will go with that because brass is more common, I can shoot 40cal through it for fun, or even switch out the barrel for 357 Sig using worn 10mm brass resized.

Are any of you shooting testloads at various charges, the hottest charge, or the most accurate load with your hp loads? Are you modifying your hp with a serration such as a phillips hammered into the...

Has anyone tested MP HP bullets? hat type of bullet were you using, what ratio of lead:tin:antinomy did you use, what powder did you use, what was the MV, and what medium you used?

I don't have steel molds but do you use a hot plate or a propane torch?

What are your thoughts about testing cast hollow point handgun bullets?

So far, I've cast sets using an unknown alloy from JHP cores, pellet, and .22lr. The first two with a lead pencil bhn 5 and...

Today, I had cast hp bullets at 30:1. Last week I cast 40:1 hp bullets, Pb:Sn with the PB being either sourced from range jacketed lead, .22lr lead, or pellet lead.

I have a lot of 38 and .357 brass. My 38-148WC groups are pretty decent and if the .357-148WC groups the same, why should I use the .357 brass for a 148WC, I think. Instead, I'll use 158SWC. Maybe...

I recently discovered sabots for BPR loads. For example, there are 50cal sabots that use 45 copper bullets. I don't know how accurate they are though.

I've read in threads a year ago that...

I am a Californian and the lead-free idea spread from protecting the endangered Condor species. I suggest contacting your State NRA to discuss what approaches can be used to defeat this proposition....

Given the burn rate of various powders within a load table for a certain cast bullet load, have you noticed the speed of the burn rate change depending on the bhn?
