It`s very cold outside today so it`s a good day to play with the computer.
Here are a couple pics of what I have been playing with.
Some of the .44 bullets I cast, shown with a .45/38 for perspective.
Papa Bear, Mama Bear and Baby Bear. Some brothers and sisters didn't want their picture taken.
My latest pair of grips. I just finished them this morning. Curley Maple with red die.
Ruger Super Black Hawk .44 mag.
Show us what you have been playing with!!

That Super Blackhawk is just beautiful, and I would love to find a 2 3/4 Security-Six like that!

Love all of those Chuck and thanks or sharing. I have the twin to your Security Six.....with the finger groove grips it is perfection. Mine are the hogue mono's though; not quite as nice.

bulldog1935 , Those horn grips are NICE!! I have been looking for other exotic materials to play with.
I prefer natural materials to man made.

I like the wildcat. You have too much time on your hands.
Those grips are beautiful. There would be buyers for those............easily
I can't on #3. Hobie would ban me. Besides, I don't have a telephoto lens on my camera.

Actually what you need is a macro lens.

Udy , Lyman calls it at 300 gr. from Linotype but I find they end up
closer to 310gr. in Lino and 325gr. in Wheel Weights + tin, lubed.
It`s the Lyman 429650 mold. Makes a nice bullet.

Its a fine looking bullet. If I casted I would be interested in the mold. Maybe some day.

The new Lyman Manual has data for this bullet and for several others that are not of their brand.
