Show what kind of Bullets you cast

[Glaciers]

Yeah I’m well aware of the weight factor, the weight is there already but not in neat clear jars, which just looks more organized. Just cleared off a nice set of steel shelves that can take the weight.
But, I do need to expand the cast inventory for aging and just on hand for impulse loading. Well got to cast some before I can do any loading of __________ fill in the blank.

 

[Winelover]

I only cast outdoors. Consequently, I do most of my casting, in the Spring..........until the temperatures get into the mid 70's. That's also when I do most of my serious shooting. With an organized inventory, one can anticipate what one might want to replenish.

Fall is for hunting! Summer is for fishing. Maintenance on the acreage, in between hobbies.

Ammo is heavy, too. Bullets are in the orange cigar boxes on the shelves next to the freezer. 2x12 shelving not longer than 3' to avoid sag.

 

[Winelover]

IAN, you do good work but tend to lean to OCD side.

 

[Winelover]

Some of my most used ammo is stored, on shelves, in the reloading room.



Rest is stored, on the floor, in the 10'x10' basement vault. Along with the delivery systems.

OCPD, I have papers.

But did you SEE the mess? Random brass laying about, stuff piled on the bench, rifles in cases not put away...

I found an outfit who sells the jars. Bough a few cases of them.

For anyone interested, US Plastics, in Dayton. Ohio sells a bunch of stuff like that and don't look down their noses at "small" orders from folks like us.

The "old" 1-quart motor oil bottles is what I use when I break down 8# jugs of powder, and I bought them new from them.

Sigh,....
As much as I realize how it reveals my "unsophisticated side," your "pretty colors" always mesmerize me. What can I say - I AM a barbarian.

If ANYONE ever convinces me to PC, it will be YOU and those danged pretty bullets you cast!

 

[Jeff H]

if it's in boxes it's organized.

if it's in boxes - I can't tel what I've GOT!

 

[Jeff H]

JonB looks like you and CW need to do some shooting..

I can't keep up myself!

I'm "outsourcing," sending bullets to a best friend, who is local, a best friend in SC, my brother, in SC and a "new guy" at work now and make THEM shoot them and tell me how they worked.

I am down to FIVE sets of loading dies and working on being down to TWO mould per caliber, so that means "down to" EIGHT moulds.

22s, 30s, 35s and 44s.

None of my firearms are in cases. Pistols/revolvers standing upright, supported by vinyl coated wire shelving. Long guns on a Lazy Susan type rifle rack.

I have moulds in 22,25,26,27,28,30,31,32,35,36,40,45,50,69 cal . Just 1 .690 mould I guess I should include 1 more for the 00B and specify that the 36 in a .375-.380 dia C&B so are the 2 44s . There's an oddball .448 , 430421 also . There are otherwise at least 2 in each caliber , the 45s run from a 141 gr .452 RB to the 45-500 and 460-543 (NOE version of 458132) while the 35s start with a 35866 RB and go on upto a 35-250 , there's like 6-7 of each of those .

Lean? Might be laying on the OCD side.

But hey, it works for him

 

[smokeywolf]

Hoping to put these in brass cases in a day or two. 160 grain 38 cal SWC.

I actually cast these when I was 17 years old. Found them a week ago when I was looking for lost 58 cal. Minie balls.

 

[Cadillac Jeff]

New brass & old bullet's ----sound's good Mr. SW !!

 

[Creeker]

Just because you’re not color blind doesn’t mean you’re color coordinator isn’t malfunctioning

Amen to that.

The NEI 41 bullet.

 

[JonB]

The NEI 41 bullet.

That's one I don't have in my large collection of 41 molds. Looks very close to my Saeco 411

 

[JonB]

while searching for a photo of the Saeco, I found another photo of "the kind of bullets I cast"

Lee 148gr BNWC (cast in a soft alloy)

NEI 230 gr 41
