Hairball:
I have done a few .44 magnum hollowpoints, just to test the product theory. They were either Sierra or Hornady. Came out quite nice. Even engraved ".44" on the front of the Lucite block, and color filled the numbers in blue, for easy visibility. Rifling marks & cannelure plainly seen on the shank of the bullet. Mushroomed to 5/8". Embedded in a standing wedge of Lucite with approx. dimensions 2.9" tall, 2.3" wide & 1.25" thick at the base.
Black Talon:
I don't have a source of them. Anyone got recovered ones laying around? I think it would make a dramatic display!
Thanks Hairball, for your comments.
4V50 Gary:
I agree - brass is more traditional than nickel plating, especially for rifle carts.
Have done a few expanded hollowpoints in .44 already, just as a product test (see reply to Hairball above).
Re arrowheads - it was a thought I had a while ago, to approach the archery buffs, but have had little luck with this item inside the Lucite. It seems to pull away from the sharp edges of the head, during curing, and gives the looks of a cosmetically flawed embedment. If this ever can be done 100% reliably, I'll let you know as I would not want to jeopardize anyone's treasured item (such as the head that brought "Sparky" down)
