Cast bullet expansion testing
Testing cast bullet by shooting them in a 55 gallon drum full of water to check for expansion.
45 colt with soft lead,
30-30 185 grain wheel weight lead,
30.06 172 grain wheel weight lead, and
255 grain 50 caliber muzzle loader.
Bullet casting tips Simple stuff for getting started
Paying attention to temperature and flaws in casting from temperature fluctuations and other things. I was wrong and stated it was an NOE mold and it is an MP Mold. I normally get Brass from MP and Aluminum from NOE and did really look close and assumed.

Quality powder coated bullets, not quantity.
Watch, or skip, to the end to see how much better the quality is over wire rack baking powder coated bullets. A better process, makes a better coating.

9mm Cast Hollow points with 7/8 Bhn hardness
This is a test of using wheel weight lead cut with pure lead to reduce the hardness and try and get better expansion and still keep accuracy. I am thinking it works fairly well, but I need to practice with the Glock more. I don't shoot it enough and am just more comfortable with my 1858 revolver.

Paper cartridges for cap and ball revolvers
This is a very easy cheap way I learned two years back from Dave Berken on YouTube. I do mine using his method but vary based on not making the squishy wads and also needing vegitable wads also.
More may be added on my Blog later
