And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Being a car guy, I had to do a double take as I thought they were mag wheel center caps. Without something know in size for scale, it took me a moment to realize they are flat-nosed bullets in unoxidized lead.
Those aren't gas check bullets. They're out of a Lyman hollow point mould that the guy had a flat point pin made for. That's why there's that little ring on the front of the bullets.

ReplyDeleteEven some cool valve stem caps at that size. I used an aluminum arrow for an antenna once. Didn't even have to change the insert.
DeleteMinie balls.
ReplyDeleteThat guy knew what he was doing. They're almost too pretty to shoot.
ReplyDeleteI first thought they were salt shakers...
ReplyDeleteAlmost time to start cranking out the Lyman 429421s...as soon as it warms up a wee bit. Steve_in_Ottawa
ReplyDeleteOttawa? When does it warm up a wee bit... July? :-)
DeleteNeed gas checks and lube. Will not be as pretty but will be ready to load and shoot

DeleteLyman still makes that .45 caliber mould.
You're not far off Rob! We're down to -25C here on Saturday night. Not to worry though.....we used to just call this Winter. Steve_in_Ottawa
ReplyDeleteWish my wheelweights would cast up that nice and shiny.
