A lot of people who cast their own bullets (Boolits to the initiated) design molds, or modify existing molds for a specific gun or purpose. Cast bullets can be made to different specifications of hardness, hollow pointed, sized down, sized up, heat treated, made with two components for a hard main body and soft nose, knurled, paper patched, gas checked, plain base, tapered base, ad infintum. All in the quest for more accuracy or increased terminal performance. In essence their own custom bullets designed to shoot from 700 to over 3000 FPS and commonly from .17 to .69 caliber. RD
