Waht did you cast today?

[462]

I'm same way. If I can avoid a check, that keeps the cost down. I don't notice any difference in 45-70. All I have is Trapdoors. Nothing modern.

I just cast some 7mm Lee soup cans from a 6 cav mould I recently obtained from a site member. I also cast a few NOE 260-118 PB from my new 4 cav mould. These are destined for both my 250 Sav and .25-06. Alloy was 10:1(ww:lino)

NOE 86 grains FN GC for the 25/20. Four heat cycles to get the mould to start working. Did all the pre-lim stuff also.

 

[LEC Guy]

Ideal 429507 & 429436. I'll use them in 44 mag.

Lyman 358665. 20-1 ladled at 720F. 166 grains, .358-.359" diameter. For the Marlin 1894. Sprue plate easily opened with gloved thumb. I really like the Big Jake gloves. They fit well and the leather is thick enough to provide good insulation and I like the extended cuff. Next time I'll drop the temperature to 700 and loosen the plate a little bit.

 

[Spindrift]

Cast some lightweight .30-cal bullets, the RCBS 7.62-130, and a 115grs Arsenal RD- style bullet

 

[popper]

Cast a pot of 142C 145gr PB, melting more alloy now. Shoulder is tired.

Lyman 457193 405-grainers, 100 keepers.

Don't know why, but didn't do much casting this past Winter, so have to start making up for the casting lazies. For sure, the Uberti Cattleman needs Lee's 452-252 SWC and Lyman's 454190, and should make another run or two of the NOE 311-188 FN Hunter.

Just finished casting 200-plus Lee 452-252 SWCs with a two-cavity mould. Next session, maybe this evening, will be a single-cavity Lyman 454190.

 

[MW65]

Just finished a 5 hole 44-265gr noe mold... empties the 20lb pot pretty quick, but makes for a good time. Want to mess around with a 444marlin and a 1894 marlin in 44mag soon

 

[462]

Did get round to casting some Lyman 454190s, last evening. Only 50, though, as it was late and the single-cavity mould too slow.

 

[CWLONGSHOT]

Casting some Muzzle Loader Maxi Balls and Great Plains Bullets for my buddy.

My Pot is full of plumbers lead...

Bucket o' bullets -- 350-plus, non-sorted NOE 311-188 RN Hunter (new designation 311-190). Man, that mould runs hot, and if I slow down it rebels.

I've fed the four-groove '03A3 many different 150-grain to 220-grain bullets and this design, with it's multi-dimensioned body, has given the best accuracy results.

 

[RicinYakima]

Perfect bullets! If it ain't frosted, it isn't perfect.
