I love this thread!

I haven't "paid my cover-charge" yet, but will submit a pic soon. It will not be terribly exciting, as I have narrowed my selection of moulds from over a hundred to about two per caliber for 22, 30, 35 and 44. Everything else is gone and I am enjoying not dividing my attention so many different ways.

As shallow as it may seem to some, there are ugly bullets and beautiful bullets, and I don't like casting ugly bullets. There are a LOT of beautiful bullets in this thread.

Yes there are ugly bullets. I've cast some of them. And like you I've sent some of mine down the road.

Not for me, I much rather have a 44 than a 41...as long as the 44 was a 44, instead of a 43 with too slow of a twist. Also, it needs to have the same SAAMI specs for groove diameter for both, Rifle and pistol.
.432 is close enough for me. I’m not having trouble with heavies

Wish I had better and more pictures but I’m at work so I just shared what I have on my phone at the moment. I’m casting for 45 acp, 45 colt, 38 spl and now 10mm for the most part. I have two very old H&G molds up there casting the flying trash cans, that Lyman hp Keith bullet mold is another favorite of mine. Casting with the iron Accurate and that .402 NOE for the first time tomorrow

Bench was built by me, the entire set up is only a couple years old, this was nothing but an empty room with an ugly couch 2 years ago

good job on the shot HR.
i don't think most people have even a small clue how hard it is to make good round shot.

I know how easy it is to make foamy blobs and swan shot, does that count?

Jwatts, where do you keep the cigars and cognac? No way you can get anything done in that space, I mean the furniture is shined for dog's sake.
