NOE's 358 135gr 9mm Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have. When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it. PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

Today I cooked up 25# of #2 alloy ingots. Tomorrow I get to make 60# of wheel weights into ingots. I am..........disturbed.

If so, roll them around between two pieces of flat smooth hard anything- steel, glass, brass, etc.- to iron out minor defects. "You can lead a man to logic, but you cannot make him think."

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. 4 out of 5 Great Lakes prefer Michigan.
