    Mold arrived this morning. Utah and Swede is apparently a LOT closer to Montana than Slovenia and Miha. Much quicker turnaround when I order from NOE.

    I cast a hand full in pure lead as I need to slug three 9mm barrels. Even a bit wrinkly in a less than up to temperature mold they looked NICE.

    Slugged my barrels and they ran from .3565" to a full .357" so the .360" diameter mold was a good idea. Ran a few through my .358" sizer, loaded a few dummies and they chambered easily in all three pistols.
    Pulled two bullets and they were only slightly undersized from the taper crimp. Almost nothing. Cast from a harder alloy I may be OK. FINALLY something POSITIVE in the 9mm quest!

    So far so good!

    Next I need to cast some bullets, have a WW's with 2% tin mix in the pot already.

    Maybe things are looking UP??
