No soul...

[TheMailMan]

It finally happened. I purchased a bullet mold and the bullets from that mold have no soul.

9mm 128 gr TC with no lube groove. They sure do drop out of the mold easy!

Now these bullets have soul!

Now, here's the quiz! Can anyone tell me which bullet this is?

Not without a $12 jap caliper and a cheap scale.

I'll tell ya it's for a .357, but it's not a common mold.

Close. But wrong.

It's a 163 gr SWC from an H&G #64 mold.

Damn, my eyes are off by 5 grains.

Some of today's work. 208 gr .44 cal wadcutter and that cute little fellow is a supposed to be a 115 gr .38 cal wadcutter. I need to weigh it because I can find very little reference to the mold.

How do you plan to lube the bullets with soul?

Hi-Tek or powder coat.
