I have been asked for displays of my molds. I have a number of calibers of these posted to my uTube account.

Here is my 10mm I thought maybe someone here might like ta see.

Excuse the title, please. UTube hates us so different descriptive words are tried....

Nice video!
I like the Lee 401-175-TC and I also have the 6 cavity mold.

I?m running them at 1600 fps from a 16? carbine.   Have not chrony?d them in my G20 yet.   

I have killed hogs with this bullet.

That 175 truncated cone bullet/mold was one of the ones I had been looking at.

I think next payday I'm going to finally buy one.  Though will probably be the 2 cavity.  I'm not a high volume shooter and have other bills to pay, but I do like the ability to make my own.    And I have a couple of sources to get wheel weights too, which is never a bad thing.  I have molds for just about every pistol caliber that I own, so I need something for the 40's and 10 now too.

I was able to order the 175 truncated cone lee mold.  The specific model was # 90256



I only got the 2 cavity for the time being.  I thought it would be a decent one to start with for the 10mm.  And I also have an XD40 they should work in too, though I rarely shoot it anymore these days.

@cwlongshot, I tried to watch through some of your videos on youtube, but was getting an error.

John, let us know how you like that bullet. I bought the Lee two-cavity 175-grain tumble lube version and will be trying it out real soon. These also will be the first bullets that I attempt to powder coat.

While I haven't cast any of them yet, I think I'll like them really well.   Been dealing with the kung flu lately.

Plus, it's still a bit hot too.   I tend to cast twice a year.  Usually in really early spring when it's still real cool out, and in late fall when it's really cool out.

That's when I generally take a day out of the weekend and pour a bunch of everything and put them up to use throughout the year.

I will definately be powder coating them. 

Powder coating isn't terribly hard.  Or, at least not how I have been doing it.  Take about a teaspoon of the powder and put in a butter bowl or cool whip bowl and put some bullets in.  Put the lid on and stir them around in a circle for about 30 seconds. 

Then, pour them on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil or parchment paper and bake for about 15 minutes @400.  Let them cool.  Sometimes if any were touching you may have to break them apart but it's really simple.
