These are prototypes but most are turning out pretty good. Printed in high temperature ABS so they won't warp if left in a car on a hot summer day. I'm thinking about printing more and putting them in the want ad section, as I think I have the design more dialed in. I have them parameterized for diameter, height, and boat tail diameter. I also have some colums for shoting at the range so you can elevate 1, 5, etc. slugs. I can also do any NxN configuration, and have done 7x7 and 10x10, but they are ridiculously big for the .357.

What do you guys think? Too many? I still need to find a place to shoot (western suburbs of the Twin Cities in MN).
 
Super fancy, mine go in zip lock bags.



How much? I think I may need to get some other stuff cast so I can send them for measuring. I'd need like 5 different ones depending on how you make them.



Maybe put them nose first so that you grab them and put them straight into service. Might be a good idea, might damage them. For a Bulldog, 5xX makes sense since we have 5 shot magazines. Might be good to have shorter lower portion and a deep lid to keep parts simple, but not certain.

Thanks, sure thing. They take a bit of time on the printer but if you can send a slug of each type I was able to get mine to fit very well to avoid unnecessary rattling. I'll DM you on cost.
