Cast Lead Thread ?

[akaroa1]

Here's a really big random bullet.

Scored a very cool 500 cal paper patch, straight sided, Hollow base mould yesterday

Only marking is .500
Veerry well built.
Has cap screws so late 20th century my guess

Very big deep mould.



Sliding captive base plug and a very good piece of design and execution



Mould took a long time to get up to temperature and throw nice bullets.
By 40 bullets it was really doing the business



It throws a massive 700 grains pure lead !!!
And it measures .509" which is fairly big considering it still needs its paper patch.

Certainly a huge lump of a 50 cal and another bullet option in my ever increasing hoard of 50 / 500 cal rifles

But 700 grains in a sporting rifle would be quite a handful
