H&G68 casting today!

[PDshooter]

Got around to casting with my favorite bullet mold today.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/PDshooter/casting/Casting45ACP001.jpg
Walked away with about 250rds in just about 90mins. Just had to get my head clear..Looks Tobe the wife and I are headed for the big "D" after 17yrs of marriage.But when I cast and reload , I forget all the ****, for awhile.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/PDshooter/casting/Casting45ACP002.jpg
Bought Mr H&G back in 91 for $190 I think. At the time I really thought I was paying waaaaay to much for her.....I wish I would have bought more!...


This IS a great web site!:bigsmyl2:

Nice Mold I have the same one only in 4 cav and with the plain base instead of bevel. Got mine a couple years back at a garage sale. Yours looks to have been very well cared for. looks almost new as does your lee pot, I admire some one who takes as good of care of there equipment as you obviously do. Nice pics. Dennis

Yes, I take good care of her. After every casting session, I hose her down with WD-40, till she drips!

That is a fine mold and the bullets you casted look really good. I have a 4 holer, but the 6 cav produces a lot more and quicker. $190 in 91 wasn't bad....try to find one or one that is in such good shape 10 years later/now for that price. Check the price list at Ballisticast (which is currently producing H&G molds) to see what a new one costs. Its astounding where prices have gone to. Nice orderly casting setup you've got there. LLS

Wonderful design, wonderful mold. Looks to be in near mint condition. Mine is only a 4 cav
but I chose (and prefer, slightly) the non-BB version. Take care of it and your children can
use it after you have been gone for decades.

IMO, I'd keep the WD-40 away from that mold. Other than drying our a wet distributor on
an E Jag many years ago, I have never found anything that WD-40 does worth a darn.
Poor lube oil, poor corrosion protection.

I'd never trust something that I actually cared about to WD-40 as a corrosion inhibitor unless
I lived in Phoenix!
