      NOE HTC359-173 WFN PB (5 cavity aluminum) with a .280″ meplat

      Preheated on a hot plate and dropped four perfect boolits (one wrinkled) on the first cast and 583 later they look like this:

      Alloy: Lead 92.5% + Antimony 7.5% + Tin 2 % = 17.9 BHN
      Note: After PCing them, I drop them in a bucket of ice water out of the oven which gives a BHN of 20.9 in 30 days.
      Actual Weight: 169 grains
      Actual diameter: 360″
      Sized to: 358″
      Length after sizing: .658″

      Time to powder coat these with “Clear” PC and mark them as “Werewolf Killers”

      Now that silliness is out of the way, l’m pleased to say the least!

        Those look great!  What you plan on shooting them in?

            If you beat me to it, let me know what loads work out for you with Unique and H110.  I was thinking of using them in a mid range load with Unique, and a full power load with H110.

              I just cast up a pile of bullets with the RG version of this mold.  Easiest RG mold to cast with (along with the 44 mag equivalent)!  I love how the slick sided bullets fall out of the molds so easily.

                Due to circumstances beyond my control, I just haven’t had time to load any of these beauties.

                  I loaded up a bunch of the deep hollow points with 12.6 gr a#9 powder.  ~1275 fps and hits pretty hard.
