Home Forums Reloading Bullet Casting Recent Casting Session

The weather wasn't the best last Saturday. So I decided to finish casting from 45's for a family member that traded me some lead for some cast boolits. Decided to take some pictures of the session--generally I forget about it. The boolits were cast using a M-P 452-200 4 cavity brass mold, which is dropping 215gr. FN with COWW's.

Preheat the mold on a cheap hot-plate.

Here is my water-drop setup. Not really for any additional hardness benefit, just to keep them on one place--plus I don't see how many I've cast until I'm ready to call it quits.

Found the boolits cast nicely from these Mihec molds at around 700-725� (almost there.)

Sorry for the fuzzy picture of the sprue

Better picture of the cut sprue.

Sorted out any that didn't pass inspection, and lined up the rest next to my RCBS LAMII for sizing and lubing (Total of 636). Not too bad for a couple hours.
