looking for some bullets to test between 350ish to 370ish with a good HP cavity for use in a 480 ruger running at 1100fps. thin skinned game mainly deer, but some hogs and black bear will be targeted. Maybe Sixshot?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe Sixshot? Thanks in advance! If you're not dead set on hollow points, mine are not HP but I cast 330 grain GC (without GC on it) and powder coat them. I'll send you a box of them you can play with. Attachments:

I have a 475" gas check HP weighing 383 grains. Now, that’s a hollow point! Traffic purple? I like that tray they’re in. What is it/where to get one |

I remove the bullets from the mixing bowl with tweezers and back them in these trays. I see these trays are good to almost 450oF. Do you bake in these too? Looks like you could. Maybe you said back instead of bake in previous post... If so this is genius! |

I have a mold for 385gr HPs. Looks to be the same mold randominator has only the plain base version. About to order its smaller brother as well.
If you don't get some from one of these guys send me a DM and maybe I can help out.

I have the NOE 475-365HP. Works great on hogs and deer.
Only problem is I loaned it out 1.5 years ago and it hasn't come home yet...
