Casting Bullets This Morning

We had storms roll through last night and cool things off, so I decided to cast some bullets this morning. It's been too hot for me to want to stand by a hot lead pot very long.

I ran two molds ... the RCBS version of the Keith SWC and an old Ideal mold that my Dad rescued back in the 1970's .. and it was old then.

I have been shooting a bunch of .45 Colts lately in the Shootists 40th Anniversary Marlin Trapper and was getting low on bullets. I will cast some more in the near future.

I thought it was 5 shots but is actually 6 so I must have miscounted as I was shooting.
