Looks good Blammer. I have been casting from my new ( well recently new) LBT 125gn 6.5 mould and have also put up some 450gn 458's for a friends 45/70.

Only a few days ago I cast 130# of bulky alloys into cute little one pound ingots. Today I cooked up 25# of #2 alloy ingots. Tomorrow I get to make 60# of wheel weights into ingots.
I am..........disturbed.

Poured some LBT LFN 280 and 300 45's, some LBT LFN 230 375's and got a Lee buckshot mould (and heat treated them)grins.
Any suggestions on smoothing off the fins and seams? Tumble with what?

Fins and seams on the round balls? If so, roll them around between two pieces of flat smooth hard anything- steel, glass, brass, etc.- to iron out minor defects.

Yeah, the buckshot. Lee moulds have a tendency to be a bit "leaky", and don't vent real well. The buckshot mould especially.
Anyone use sand in their tumbler?
Perhaps ceramic pins?

I haven't cast anything in some time. I've been holding off because it's too cold to cast outside and I don't have a suitable ventilation set-up yet. I'm planning to use the blower assembly from the top of a power-vented water heater for my exhaust hood. As soon as I get that sucker up and going I'll be able to get back to casting. All the pictures of nice, shiny new bullets you guys are posting are turning me a bit green with envy.

What he's not telling us is that it's 1/4" plywood they are setting on! Seriously, those are pretty nice looking, and impressive to boot!
