here is a pic of my first batch most looked really good. didnt get to shoot any yet waiting on my dies. if they fly half as good as i feel about them, 300 yards with my 357 will be a breeze. thanks again for the kind words.

Good looking batch of boolits there Camaro1st! There is a sense of accomplishment from casting your own boolits that cannot be found with store bought bullets.

BTW, I love your avatar. I had to put down my Britt about a year ago and I sure do miss him.

Nice bullets, wish mine would shine like that.

I'll be smiling when I can get her out of storage this spring.

Looks like we hooked another one, guys!

Those are some nice looking boolits right out of the chute, I see folks who cast for years and don't get them to look that good all the time.

Man who pees uphill come from flatland. :kidding:

Good job Camaro.

Is that the new Lee 125gr RF boolit?

Don't leave us hanging, what was your alloy?
