I go through the entire process of casting, powdercoating, loading, and shooting some hard cast round nose bullets using the high quality NOE bullet mold for my 10mm handguns.  I had wanted a round nose bullet for 10mm plinking loads.  Something that would feed simply and flawlessly in each of my 10mm handguns and carbines.  This bullet mold seems to do the trick.

People often ask us why we shoot.  Some folks golf, some collect stamps, we shoot.

45 ACP Cutting Holes Like A Wadcutter Fellas I thought you would appreciate the below for us avid reloaders. During a 1997 big game hunting trip Col.
