Finally got to cast some bullets this weekend. I was turning into a mold collector instead of a caster and shooter.Not that there's anything wrong with that.Icast some bullets from my RCBS 37-250 for my Marlin 38/55.After just a few bullets it started dropping keepers.I cast some RCBS 270-SAA .It took a while to get the pot hot enough but once It did it cast some nice bullets.I cast some 323-185gr. from an iron NEI mold .This mold suprised me.Starting with the first bullet each and every bullet out of that mold was a good one.You opened the mold and the bullet falls out just like it's supposed to.I just got done sizing the bullets for my 38/55.I'm going to try and get some ammo loaded this week after work.I would like to hunt with that gun this year.

..............I sure do like that when the slug falls out when you open the blocks. Doesn't happen real often. Usually a tap on the handle hinge does it for most. Yet the 'Tapper' is required so often that my right hand would feel naked without it :-)
