I've starting casting some rounds for my Airforce Texan with good results. Thought I might share.

You can order multiple bases to change pellet weight and​
Jeremy was excellent to deal with, he even included a sizer that you can us in any standard drill press​.

Very cool!!

 

[30cal]

Very cool indeed! Man that's a big hunk a lead. Good to hear from you Fbom8. It' been a while. Looks like you have been busy.

I've been waiting for a review for the 30 cal diablo pellet from Jeremy. How are the pellets performing in your 45 cal?

 

[KzooRichie]

Neat. How does the sizer work?

 

[Fbom8]

Pellets perform great @50yds, haven't got a chance to shoot further yet.
As for the sizer, works well. Simple, but effective, machined push rod chucked in drill press, with tapered die to push the round through.

Keep us informed how they do further out. I'd be in the market for those if they perform well and you are selling.
