Pass it on.

Had 2 guys who were in my January Metallic Cartridge Reloading Course show up this morning to learn how to cast bullets. Started out with smelting, fluxing and casting into ingots on the porch. Then went into the basement and showed them how to create an alloy suitable for what they wanted. They wanted to cast .45 hollowpoints for the .45 ACP, so let them use my MP mould that casts 200gr round nose hollowpoints. All went well. They left with some nice hollowpoint bullets, and left me with a good feeling knowing that I passed on what little I know. Win/Win!

Awesome Job!
Always good to see the knowledge passed to others.
