Ok, so Jasper's post, with his in-transit HP casting mold got me to thinking:
How about my own plated bullets. I'd love to be able to make plated Hollow Point (HP) bullets. Not that the ones from Berry's aren't cheap, and don't work well. I'd just like to be able to do this all at home. So, I am starting this thread to peruse the working of doing such plating.
