Those look just fine, much better than some of my first. Just lube em and shoot away. And welcome to the forum.

Good going nixpap!

We all had to start somewhere my friend. I'm with the others, they look ready to lube and load if you ask me.

As for waiting for small pistol primers to become available again? There isn't a much better time to keep on casting until you have a pile that will last you until you need more primers.

If you find some small rifle primers, they will work fine

yea, now is the time to cast. i got a decent little stash of lead but I think I'm going to go slow and try to spread it out against different bullet profiles and calibers as i acquire a couple of more moulds. Nixpap

Where are you located. Somebody near you may have some primers to spare, or maybe not.

Rewarding to see those nice new bullets the first time isn't it?

Good luck with primers. I wish there were a way to take some of the dependency of buying primers out of the equation like casting boolits does.
