Good evening;

That is part of my first batch of cast boolets, ever. I picked up some WW today, smelted them this afternoon, and then cast them after dinner. They mic out at .460 on the nose, so I'll have to wait until my sizing die gets here. Oh well, I can wait a few more days to load and shoot my 45-70.

I'll be danged, I just cast 75 of that exact boolit today.
You might try stuffing one in a case, and see if it runs in your rifle. Like USPS, if it fits, it ships LOL!
I was using a single cavity mold. The cadence I was using was fill, 4 seconds, cut, drop, shut, 10 seconds, fill.............etc etc.

The bases look like they are not filled out too well and have a little dent in them.

Now you went and done it.
There is no turning back.
We will see you roaming the Wal Mart
parking lot with pliers in your hand.:redneck:
