"Penta" is short for pentagonal hollow pointing pins. They produce 5-sided hollow points, such as is seen in the bullet on the right in this photo:

They turn out like this if you do it right.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.
DANG !!! Those are some pretty gruesome HP style boolits . Thanks for showing the pics guys . If a picture is worth a thousand words... how come I was speechless when I first viewed them ???

10 Spot, it is because the picture took up your 1000 words and then some. The "pentas" are true beauty when casting. I have them in a couple molds and the regular round pins have never even seen lead yet. Probably never will.Originally Posted by 10 Spot Terminator
BattleRife and MtGun44, great pics. Thanks for posting them.

Does anybody besides Miha produce the penta pins? The only ones I've ever seen have been on MP molds.

Armed people don't march into gas chambers.
No Elkins45, and if you have never gotten a Miha brass cramer mold, you are in for a shock. They are so beautiful, that most people hate to dirty them up the first time they cast with them. Works of art they are.
This country has gone to hell but now there is hope for us.
Actually they are made that way so if boolit gets stuck, one can take a special allen type wrench and unscrew them. (;>)
I know. I have two of them, and I'm signed up for a third..and trying really hard to resist a fourth!
They are truly works of functional art, and the fact that Miha is a great guy doesn't hurt either.
