All weights shown are the approximate weight in "wheel weight" alloy, unless specified as "lino." Those bullets were designed for lino alloy--wheel weight alloy will weigh approximately 6% more. If your alloy doesn’t cast this weight, the addition of antimony will lighten and lead will make heavier to give you the listed weight.

Solid black groove denotes a crimp groove. Solid black base denotes a gas check base. Some designs are available in various lengths, with different weights and/or features, such as a gas check base, or plain base at a specific length. The number after a dash, as #845-5, denotes the amount of driving bands. Asterisk (*) after bullet design number denotes extra charge, due to cross venting. Two or four cavity mold charge is $10.00. Six-cavity mold charge is $15.00.

PLAIN BASE VERSUS BEVEL BASE?

Several of our designs are available in both plain and bevel base. The bevel base provides easier starting into case mouth, but when sized in a sizer that has constant hydraulic pressure on the lubricant, this area will fill with lubricant. Shaping the bottom punch to cover the bevel base can prevent this. ACCURACY APPEARS TO BE THE SAME, WITH PROPONENTS OF BOTH STYLES HAVING EXCELLENT THEORIES TO BACK THEIR CHOICE. In short, if you like debates, ask a few people their preferences. We have had examples sent to us of excellent results with both styles.
