Thanks, Hoot and Wildcat...

The Lyman and the Lee are too heavy "as is", so I'll need to adapt the mold to throw a shorter, lighter bullet. I hadn't seen the Lee before, need to look and see if I could locate one of their molds. That shows some promise, especially if it's cut down a bit. PLUS they are cheap enough that a double cavity wouldn't set me back all that much new if I can come across one.

What I'd REALLY like to be able to do would be to come up with a nose pour mold with base pins like those that are used as nose pins for casting hollow points. It seems to me that by varying the size and length of the base pin that one could change weight and distribution of mass to tweak for accuracy. BUT I know of no nose pour molds that would be cheap enough to fool around with.
