    I was cleaning up ,few weeks back and found a box with 8 to 10 custom molds.
    So did 3 or 4 heat cycles to get the pins to set and brake them in.
    I was on the fence last sale on getting a,few so glad I never and cleaned up instead as,I had what I wanted already.
    I know that sounds bad.
    So before I shut everything down I cast a,few the 45acp deep go came in at what looks,to be,200 with lube.
    For giggles I put a ball from an Air Soft in 2 of them.
    When I dok cast with it will be less antimony and half the tin so they will still flow but be softer. This,was my rifle and mag pistol ingots.

    If I wanted to really put some air soft in them i would lube/size and use a,die I have that is to seat gas checks. It would seat well. It goes in a,regular press.
