Those look like nice moulds but since they are aluminum, you could only cast lead in them.  They might melt if you tried casting zinc.

I wasn't aware that Powder Keg was making molds. As usual, his workmanship is superb.

Thanks for the complement :oops:  I can make a lot of stuff :grin: Mainly custom, hard to find items. That mold for DD was 3.600 I think?
