Really like this mold from Mihec, been just casting FN, but will try some HP's in my next batch. Still pretty slow at casting, but with set up and take down time I got roughly 22#'s of these cast last night. Excited to try out my new Magma Star sizer.

well the star should take you about 2 hours to have everything there sized and lubed.
depending on your set-up time and such of course.
I have the boolit feeder and air cylinder on mine, so I spend some time loading the tubes [I have 20] then once i get everything set.
it's just run the boolits through the machine which takes very little time.

Well I already set up my dies and top punches with set screws from Lathesmith. So my learning curve should just be with heat and pressure.
