These came out a little frosty, but as they are going to be powder coated I think it's ok.

Dumb question after casting for 20 years, but what’s wrong with frosted bullets?
Love the 230TC, btw….

Potsy, They'll fly just fine, but they're just not as purdy. I take it as an indicator that my temps or cadence was off is all.

Thank you, sir! Received sizing die in the mail just now so I can get on with this batch and get back to casting.

Those look good. I got some from a friend and sized them and lubed them myself, with Alox. They shoot pretty good with 5.5 gr. Unique.
Why do I have to press 1, for English?

I’ve run that bullet for years in my Kimber. Wicked accurate. Starting to show promise in the new to me Dan Wesson.

The Lee TC bullets are my favorite. The 120TC was my first, then came the 175 for my 40's & 10's and finally the 230. I also milled down the 120TC for use in my mouse 380's. Drops right at 105 grains and functions as well as the others.
