The screen I'm using is actually brass, but it doesn't matter, steel or aluminum would be fine. It's just there to keep the bullets off the bottom.

All of the bullets pictured were cast from air cooled wheel weights. I control expansion by adjusting the size of the hollow points.

458, the bullets don't need to be warmed. I think the powder sticks from static generated from shaking in the plastic tub. The bullets do need to be clean and free of lube, oil, etc, but fingerprints are fine.


I had the right site. Their server must have been fritzing. No problem getting to the site today. So there is a difference in the characteristics of the various colors as far as how they work with bullets, and your favored grass green has the proper characteristics? I'm set on trying this now. Going to order a pound of the grass green and give it a go. Thanks for spreading the word!!
