Hi guys - is there a website/web page where you can view photos of common errors with cast bullets ?
I bought some recently that don't look that great to me, but I don't cast my own (yet). The only ones I have to compare are much better than these. I got them as part of a deal I made with a fellow who has passed away.
I don't know if I'm just being too picky. But some of these bullets that I just got have very shallow crimping grooves (at least for part of the groove) & what I think are wrinkles. Some of the lube grooves aren't completely filled with lube (maybe 90% of groove filled). I tried to take photos to post here, but unfortunately my camera will not focus close enough to show you the details that I'm talking about. I hoped to find online photos to compare with to see if these bullets are sub-par and should be returned. These were handcast & I bought them off GB because they were said to be real Keith bullets, and not too hard.
If the things I'm seeing are minor cosmetic issues & these bullets will shoot just fine, I'll keep them. Thank you
