What did you cast today?

[BOOM BOOM]

HI AGAIN,
Did not cast today , all the snow melted in Provo. DRAT!

[Dunce0511]

A tad over 1400 Lee TL 230gr about 46.6 lbs worth. Tumble lubed 1480 158gr 38spl while waiting for the pot to heat.

[a.squibload]

I actually cast a few boolits today!
Most were wrinkled and rounded but some were OK.
All were shiny! (All stickon WWs, nothing added.)
Started writing it up and decided it was more like a "casting equipment" post
so it's over there:

[Boolseye]

two days late–but on Sunday I cast with my two cavs: C312-160 2r, 356-102 1r and c429-240 swc.
maybe 10 lbs total. All Lee molds.

[GARCIA]

The wifes off to work and the dogs are sleeping or is it guarding the house?
Going to clean out the mix in the pot and start afresh.
Got a brand spanking new NOE 429421 in the oven as I type. Just got done cleaning it.
So with that all said and done it's going to be 429421 for me!!!!!

I cast around 400 Lee C312-185-1R for my Mosin-Nagants and around 200 C338-220-1R for my Budapest M95 carbine that slugs .316/.334. Would have cast more but I was interrupted by a power failure for about 1 hour.

Nothing! It has been raining of late and I cast outdoors. I have sorted my wheel weights. % gal of stick-ons and 5 gal of clips. As soon as it dries out they will become ingots.

Another batch of several hundred RD TLC311-165-RF. I think I'm going through these faster than I am through my stash my .45 boolits

[kyswede]

I cast 700 .30 cal. 150 gr.flat-nose boolits today. The Lee 2 cav. mold was brand new and I thought I would never get a good boolit out of it. I cast 60 before I got 1 keeper. Finally turned the pot up a little, added some tin (pewter), and got the mold very hot with my hot plate. I found I have to pour quickly to get good fill-out (Lee production pot IV), and leave a generous sprue. Once I got it figured out I had a blast.

[357shooter]

500 w/a Lyman 358-477, 2 cavity, out of pure lead.

[Ole]

15lbs of 265 Ranch Dogs for my 44's.

Just got done heat treating most of them and now the lube is drying.

EDIT: Just got done sizing/GC/Final lubing now they are on final drying.



They don't look like much, but they sure do shoot good.

Ohio turned cold again .. (snow fluuries this morning) After I arrived home from church, I fired up the lead pot with my 50/50 alloy (WW's/pure) and a tad of tin. I cast up a bunch of .44 HP's (429244) In my new mould that buckshot HP'd for me. Beautiful boolits !! Kudo's to Buckshot for his flawless work. I also cast up a hand full of 360-180 NOE HP's for the wife's contender. Now I'm making up a new batch of lube for all the new cast boolits I made today.

HI,
IT SNOWED FRIDAY, YEAH.
SO I CAST 20 LBS. OF 38'S, AND SAT. 20 LBS. OF 7MM'S.

[Nick2010]

starting off slow, 300 or so 9mm bullets, first time casting bullets really

[Silent]

16 pounds of 356-125-2R with a 2 cavity mold. With the use the 9mm gets, I'm buying a 6 cavity mold.

[SP101GUY]

200 rounds worth of Lee .430 200g RF from 50/50 water dropped. Just starting a supply for the year. Have .358 158g RF and .401 175 TC's to do yet.

Well my session turned into a hodgepodge.
I set out to smelt some wheelweights, then took a few moulds over, then a few more moulds, then a few more moulds...
No rhyme or reason beyond some 9mm and .44 bullets I use regularly. I just cast what looked interesting. By the time I was done, I had used about a dozen moulds and doubt I cast 300 bullets. I made:
Lyman 429303, 311466
Lee 432-265 RD, 429-113WC, 429-208WC, and some soupcans
Saeco 301, 315, 383, and 115
H&G 50
RCBS 30-165SIL

The Ranch Dogs and the Saeco 315 and 383s are bullets I use often, but the rest...I don't know...they just looked like they needed made I guess.

[Charlie Two Tracks]

Nothing cast. I have cast all through the winter (heated garage) and I have over 300 lbs of cast .357 boolits cast with four different styles of molds. That is more than I will shoot in a couple of years so I have to stop so I can cast a bunch more next winter.

[*Paladin*]

230 gr .45's tonight. Tried a mystery lead (pretty soft) 50/50 with WW's and a few ounces of pewter. Made some pretty boolits...
