Thats a BIG hole! I was told years ago that a piece of newspaper between the nose of the mold when pouring will get expansion going on impact. Ive poured with paper but never tried them for expansion.

Wow! Those look good. I don't think you will have any trouble with expansion.
I really like the 44 out if rifle.

No expert. 13 Brinell sounds hard enough to handle .44 Mag velocity. I am not going to volunteer to be the test target. I like my .44 Mag semiauto Ruger.
