Cast my first batch

[ReAX222]

I got setup this evening and I cast around 360 rounds. I got around 300 that I consider shootable and six that are perfect. For the most part, I think I am dropping the rounds too fast.:-D

Quick Q. I used one of my WW bullets to slug my barrel. I get 0.400 after going through the barrel. Freshly cast I am measuring 0.401 but not perfectly round. For .40 S&W do I need to size my major power plinkers?

I've never seen a mould yet that casts perfectly round boolits. I'd suggest you use a .401" sizer, or not size at all if that is an option (lube by some other means).
