casting some of Elmer's 454424's. I shoot a lot of these so it's time to start restocking my supply. As to not let Mr. Thompson feel slighted, today I cast a few of his 452490's.

Both are excellent bullets and with my alloy the 424 weighs 263 grs. and the 490 comes in at 268 grs. With either bullet I would not feel at a disadvantage. Because of the gas check I lean more towards the 424.

I can't believe I didn't cull that wrinkled bullet just high of center in the first picture for the photo. It did get sorted out before sizing and lube.
