Frankly, I think this DOES sound crazy, and I'm wondering if you're a troll or not. It would be unsafe (to you) to fire these bullets in your gun, and you want to carry your gun loaded that way? No thanks. And by the way, I haven't seen yet where you've offered to indemnify the person who would load these for you, absolving them of any responsibility for the results of your firing those silver bullets when your gun blows up in your hand. Heck, I could do this.......I have the dies and the press, and even the powder and primers, but there's no way I'd do it. Not in a million years.

Your carry gun is a tool, not a showpiece, and it strikes me as kind of frivolous to have "show off bullets" which are essentially items of jewelry in a carry gun which might be used for deadly force.......not to mention having to explain your use of silver bullets to a jury in the unfortunate event that you successfully shoot someone with them .....if you miraculously avoid blowing your fingers off. So good luck with this.

Previous posts have talked about the high melting point of silver compared to lead.
I don't know if he considered what type of mold to use. I think it would be difficult to cast a hollow point.
That said the hollowing could be done on a lathe
If I were going to make a presentation cartridge I would machine the entire cartridge out of silver
and then plate the case portion with gold. That would look stunning.
In his OP, Pugamus said:
I am interested in paying someone for their reloading services. I am looking for 6 pure silver .357 magnum rounds to be reloaded in a nickel plated case. As close to defensive ammo specifications (preferably to Hornady specs). I can get you the ounces of silver necessary for hollow point castings. Or l can have the billets ordered for you. All you would have to do is reload them in virgin cases. If you're interested in exploring this please let me know via email.
That implies powder and a primer. If it is for display purposes only, there's no need to prime the case, or charge it with powder.
