I was looking at the 383 HP and 600. I know the 383 would work well and the large HP would be cool. Has anyone used the 600 in a pistol? If so what loads
Can a HP be added to molds? Be nice to have a single Cavity HP in brass

I think I have all the molds Al makes for the 500 or close to it.  I have made some of the 600 grainers and shot them with a5744 for some decent loads, but tend to enjoy the slightly lighter bullets a bit more (especially when I am shooting 100+ rounds in an outting).  My friend and I were shooting steel plates at about 100 yards with powder coated bullets from the 350 gr mold and a healthy dose of accurate #9.  Those shot very well and accurately.  I have the 383 mold also and have cast a bunch but haven’t been able to load and shoot them yet.  Too many things to try out and not enough time.  And weather has been really cold and snowy lately.
