Took a little practice to figure out the quirks on the Lee pot, trying different temps, pour speed etc, but I'm happy with my first efforts.

Nice work! Now the hard part is finding time to do it enough to keep up with your shooting habit.

Looks like a good start to me. Now you need to get them lubed and sized and see how they do. That phase is called "setting the hook". You'll be a casting junkie real soon....like the rest of us.

That's going to be my weekend project, well that and clean up and reorganize my loading bench, it tends to collect stuff. :-D

I'll also put in a plug for singleshotbuff and his boolit alloy.

These were cast with his reclaimed indoor range scrap.

Looks good. Has there been a group buy of that top one? My 255 K seems shorter.
