It weighs in at .62 Troy ounces,,, and it's an exact copy of a 50 caliber R.E.A.L. Muzzleloader round,,, it's prolly at least 3/4" long and about a quarter inch thick id guess lol

oooh I thought it was a rude toy, but that's even more interesting, have you ever tried shooting one of them out of a gun ?

BOSSK , I loved my Bossk toy and I had his spaceship called the captivator I think, a long time ago in the 1980's

@MantisMetals47, thanks for the tip on heating the moulds. I usually have a blow torch on it for a minute or so before pouring but I guess I need to be more patient with it 

 

Thank you.

Patience us key,,, I usually hit the mold with the torch for a few minutes before I Ben start my melt,,, and once it's done I defiect the flame off he spout of the dish into my mold area to make sure it stays hot, and once you think the silver is melted,, give it like 2 more mins of torch,, you will enjoy the result!!!
