Holy **** shooter! That thing is gorgeous! I wish I had woodworking skills like that.
I was just trying to figure out this same exact thing. The only thing I could think of that would be aesthetically pleasing in the reloading room (indoors) is a 3x3 shelving unit with 2 molds per...

You've got a nice looking pistol there. Your rounds aren't too bad either.

Well said. If mine weren't a gift, I was going to buy one of a member here, which would've been a bit cheaper. Building it yourself, even more savings.

A quality PID is definitely worth the investment if your main source of projectiles are ones you cast.

The one you linked is just one piece of the puzzle. You still need to get the rest of the pieces. I found a blog piece once that have a good outline of almost all the pieces you need to build one....

So at Xmas time, I told the wife I wanted a standard, no frills PID for casting. She had no clue what I was talking about, even after explaining it. I told her I could build with this parts list. She...

I think I found a way to cheat...a PID and a hot plate with a steel warmer box...it sure makes it a bunch easier than a simple thermometer
Still working on that last part. I tried to use Christmas and New Year's as a reason to finally get a 1911, but got shot down with the "you just got a ton of gun stuff that you barely used yet..."....
That's how it started for me except the opposite way. I ordered one of his 45's but only own 9mm. I regret nothing.

Okay cool. I just wanted to make sure I didn't neve to watch out for yet another thing.

Is there a downside to a darker shade? I mean you're still coated and it's doing its job isn't it?
Last pistol I got was revolver, and I don't own a 1911 and always wanted one so this seems line a perfect opportunity
All of these replies make me look forward to a 45. I'm thinking a 1911, my first one. The mold that sparked the first post is a MP one from his last group buy. Not looking forward to that LPP/SPP...
This exactly the thought that goes through my head!
I did just that. For some reason my gut told me not to let the mold get away and now I own a mold for a caliber I don't own and the wife is giving me tons of grief over the decision.

...on my PC'ed cast rounds. The bullet is an accurate 247-311 projectile with no lube grooves. Some googling and tuning and I found out I wasn't expanding the case mouth enough (using the Noe...

I agree with this. I've read in multiple places where either the customer got one with little to no issues or one that was plagued with problems. About half of the guys with issues I chalk up to a...

I must've gotten lucky, my loadmaster has taken very little tuning to get small pistol to load correctly. This includes priming. Now for rifle, I prime off the press since I'm doing so much brass...
