Looks better than a cookie jar full of change.
Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.

A good idea came to me a couple of days ago. Those bullets would come in handy.

No casting done lately. Hopefully next week after I'm out of the hospital. Got a couple new molds and some new guns waiting to be fed.

They should let you cast while in recovery.

Not lately. I try to do enough casting after hunting season is over to shoot all year. Think late Winter and early Spring. But I will cast in the Summer if I have to.

It's been a while but, by lunch I'll have converted some wheelweights into bullets. I'm getting everything ready to cast up some RCBS 35-200 FN.

It's been a few weeks. Thanks for the reminder! I have just started using a bottom pour Lyman that I picked up at an estate sale. Had been using ladle/hand pour for several years. I could get used to the higher production of this bottom pour.

Good on ya!
My plan got rained out and the tinsel fairy cried from frustration. Wet all day, getting breezy. Eta sux, or blows. Depends on which way you’re lookin’.

It's just about casting season in my neck of the woods. I have a new mold for .45LC and it hasn't been heated yet...but soon it will!

After reading this thread I think I'm gonna warm up the old girl tomorrow. I just picked up an old Ideal 31141 that I wanna try out, and my 25-20 lead supply is getting low.
If I think about it I'll snap some photos to post.
