They say it's plated, yes. It's the 185g Hybrid HP.
I did fire a few more through a piece of particle board, but I didn't recover the bullets as yet.

I wonder what it would do through three layers of clothing into a water filled jug or a large beef or pork roast.?
How do you dry them? Just curious as I know many guys have different methods.Ran low on brass so did a batch in the wet tumbler. Came out so nice I took a pic. View attachment 248865

Bring those items down and we'll run a few. Give me a few more days and I'll have some of these bullets in 9 and 40, too. I'll need some .40 and 10mm Auto brass, if that's your pleasure. My neighbor takes most of my forty, as I don't shoot this caliber (nor a ten either).
I use a food dehydrator from craigslist it fits about 1000 casesHow do you dry them? Just curious as I know many guys have different methods.
Love it!View attachment 249557 Cast a shit load of .451”round balls that with a rich alloy and some extra coats of hi tek will be about .458” for triple round ball loads in the 45/70
Now I need a lee 6 cavity .457 round ball mould to make this easier and make the balls a little larger.
Cast a bunch of 405 grain for the 45/70
Coated some 130 grain 9mm and some 198 grain 30 cals.
Sized and lubed (for the non coated) all of the above
Now I need to figure out what powder HSM uses in their bear loads so I can duplicate them.
Ahh shitExactly what I didn't want to see in the primer ski jump after completing my ammo for a match. View attachment 249936
What are the odds it will show up on a disappearing target?Ahh shit
Hopefully 0What are the odds it will show up on a disappearing target?
I have wanted to ask my MIL down to help pull the handle just to see here head explode when she finds out I’m reloading for guns she knows I have but is in denialMother-in-law will be visiting this weekend so that means I'll be in the basement reloading ; that way I can make a third range trip this week.
My MIL knows I "own guns" - you'd have to be blind not see the "paraphernalia" around the house but I don't think she knows the depth of the matter. I don't think she realizes how "involved" in it I am. She's FUDD-ish I guess. Her late father used to hunt all the time and her brother still does (they are from Ohio). But apparently she did some dumb "March for Our Lives" profile pic stuff on facebook or whatever. She likes to ride bandwagons. Her second husband, during the Orlando coverage (we were at their house at the time) basically broke into the usual "ARs are killing machines, they shoot a bullet this big!" (greater than a 50 cal, apparently ), etc., etc. They don't know I own (and have assembled) a few and not even mentioning AKs, etc.I have wanted to ask my MIL down to help pull the handle just to see here head explode when she finds out I’m reloading for guns she knows I have but is in denial

She's a Yankees fan though, so at least I can hold last night's outcome over her.
