And finally cast a few bullets. Boy did it feel good, I needed it. Something from nothing, raw bullets. Still a lot of work to go; processing, sizing, gas checks, lube. But for just a couple productive hours it’s good. If I guess about 15 lbs. of good bullets (200 gr. 10mm) that’s at least 500.

I’ll keep after it in the evenings.

It’s a start, temp is good, metal fluxed, mould warmed up.

I drive the forum guys nuts. I guess I’m not very good. Hardness - hard enough, but still soft enough too. Alloy - mostly wheelweights, some tin, antimony, not really sure. Weight? Whatever the mould says right?! Diameter? I’ll know after I size them. If it fits I send it. Pretty ones to my friend, wrinkled ones I shoot.
