The temps here in Phoenix are starting to hit 100, so I've finished up casting for the spring. This is about a year's supply, 6,378 230gr 45acp boolits:

This forum and you guys here made it possible. Thank you.

I'm impressed, guess I'm too lazy to get that far ahead.

After living in Phoenix for years, I finally got out of the heat. There's 2 seasons in Phoenix hot and hotter, so casting has to be done during the hot season.

I'll trade you three months of hot weather for four months of snow/sleet/ rain/freezing rain/wind and rain/wind and snow/wind and -20F. :wink:

Oh ya , I garrantee one day per month of sunshine.

Hey 40Super, I forgot to ask you if Sir DripsAlot arrived safely.

Re: The Cold. No Thanks. That's why I live here. I never have to shovel the sunshine.

Yes it did and I must say,thats the first one I've seen in person with that style of valve(mine is a 20lb with the rod up/down), I can't see how it can't drip:veryconfu.
I'm working on the mount this weekend for putting it above the 20lb. Then it can drip to its heart content(if I can't somehow fix it,I'm making a new rod with a different tip profile).

Thanks debarnhart

:hijack: over, back to previous schedueled programming.

I'll bet that when you get ready to lube, you don't even need a heater plate for your sizer no matter how hard of a lube you use.:drinks:

ugh, ill take the -20, I don't deal well when its above 75 outside!

How much lead did you use?

[caseyboy]

The big question is "Will that be enough until the weather cools???"

[Catshooter]

Doesn't that just make y'all warm & fuzzy inside?

'Cools' is a relative term. To us 50 degrees is bone-chilling cold ;-)

I think what's going to work best for me is for twice a year for me to cast about 2500 boolits, a 6-month supply but always be 6 months ahead. I figure that my next casting session will be in October. I hope to be able to afford a Ballisti-Cast Mark VI by then. I don't look forward to sizing and lubing 2500 boolits on a Lyman 450.
