WOW!!! Nice boolits!

I thought I was doing good with getting 20 pounds of alloy turned into 750, 180 grain 30 cal boolits. I spent an afternoon casting with a 5 cavity aluminum NOE mold. That evening I sized 260 of those. This was all on new year's eve.

I have managed to need 5 gallon buckets to store my common brass (9mm, 40 S&W, 45 acp, 223), but this last batch of boolits was my biggest yet. I had two cardboard boxes that held 500 9mm bearcreek moly bullets each. They are filled to the top, with what I cast. That plywood is about 12x12 inches and almost filled up one. I still have the other box, heaping full, to size.

How do you plan to lube or size those? I am using an RCBS LAM I and white label Cred. I can see a star or similar sizer in my future.

Exactly the same...LAM II & C. Red.
