	Fired up the pot this am and cast a few 457130 bullets from range scrap.tumble lubed them with liquid carnauba.i loaded them on my old 310 set with 5g (ish) of unique.i.am pretty happy with the groups. From kneeling at 30 paces the groups with the peeps hovered between 1" and 1.5".

	my wife's family likes squirrel bacon. Grain fed squirrels are the best she says. I dunno, only ate jack rabbit and lizzard bacon myself. That's some pretty snazzy shooting you did there, by the way.

	Ideal used to offer a similar mould for loading the 44 cal, #429239, that had a hemispherical nose.

	Went out this morning and shot a couple groups at 25 yards and a couple at 50 over the top of my backpack. These two 25-yard groups were outstanding the 50-yard groups were roughly 2.5" I did not retrieve those targets. I'm pretty pleased with the close range accuracy.
