5 parts wheel weights
1 part Linotype
Heat to 700-725 degrees, pour into one nice hot LBT mould, repeat for 1.5 hours
Makes 200 or so 355gr Pills for the 45's  Hopefully I can feed one of them to Mr. Moose in a couple weeks.

355 gr. pills
any special reason that you use that heavy a bullet,or is that just for heavy weight game like moose elk or bears? Is the redhawk a .45 or .454. even ported that should be fun!!!

Cool, that's always cool when you take an animal not only with a round you loaded but with a bullet you made. I have a couple guns I shoot cast out of and I've thought about getting set up to do it but I just don't have the time. Do you know someone at a tire shop that saves the weights for you?

Snyd the pill-pusher. Too funny....
Junebug, ya , 355ers for moose and bear here in Alaska. The Redhawk is a 454 I converted with a cylinder from a SRH. Whitworth and others have done the same. As far as fps, my 45 Colt 355gr load in the 7.5" SBH is 1200fps , same load in the 4" RH is 1150. The magnaport really helped tame torque and muzzle flip.
wapitirod, ya, It's rewarding to hunt and fish with your own ammo and flies. I've taken critters with my own handloads with my 325wsm but still haven't taken an animal with these boolits or with a handgun even. Spring bear hunting didnt' pan out this year, I didn't get a chance to get out, I still hunt Dall sheep with my rifle so haven't had a chance there. Maybe this month for moose and/or bear though!

Hey Snyd!Best of luck to you this year my friend. With the new regs down here I haven't even picked up a moose tag yet & the season is alomst 2/3 over :-(
No more spikes or forks down here. Has to be 50"+ or 4 brow tines. Even the big boys here are much more prone genetically to 3 brow tines. Bow season started Aug 10 & gun season Aug 20 & I literaly have not heard of a bull killed yet on the peninsula. Pretty sad. Need to kill a WHOLE BUNCH of brown bears & burn a few thousand acres for browse...
