Finally got everything out the other night and made the first run of cast boolits In about 3 years. Made a few. 311-466 HPs and some 429-244s. Ran about 13 pounds of lead through the pot. Everything came back to me pretty quickly. I need to clean the 429 mold it had WD 40 in it and I figured it would burn out but it left my boolits kinda funny looking. The 429-244 all came in weighing 245-247 grains. In the process of building my new 3rd reloading bench to get my sizers up and running I will gas check these bad boys and see what they will do. Let me know what you guys think. Oh, and this was my first time running an iron mold and a hollow point mold.
My new bench will be 13’x8’ the cabinet is made out of pine lumber my dad and I fell, and milled ourselves. The top is going to be made out of 2 inch salvaged white oak. It was milled 24” wide, but my planer will only take a 13” board, so I had to rip them down to 12 inches. It’s coming along pretty well, I’ve been working on it at night after work for last 2 weeks hope to be done in 2 more weeks with the bottom, then I will build the top cabinets for more storage.
