Very nicely done, seems like you've done this before! I know & you know that temp. can be critical with HP's.

Looks like you have it down pack. What alloy and temps did you use?

These are the first HP bullets I've cast. The mould is a MiHec 432-256-Keith. I used straight air cooled wheel weight alloy at 'bout 800 degrees. I probably cast for 20 minutes before I found the right "spot".

Some say it's hard to cast with an aluminum & brass mould side by side but I rotated this mould with another to make these from the same alloy.

Creeker, how could a guy thats cast as many bullets as you have over the years tell us he's never poured a HP, very nice looking slugs.

I began casting in 1973. I went to the LGS for a 38 mould. Looking through the stock they had I chose the Lyman 358429 thinking that is what a bullet should look like. Finding it was a Keith bullet I began reading anything I could find about the 'man'. So Mr. Keith seemed to think the solid version was really enough so I stuck with the solids all these years. :lol:
