made some perfect bullets out of my lee 6 banger today

[Bullshop Junior]

Had a casting lesson today, and it seems funny how much things change.

The first time I made bullets I was using a lyman one banger and had to run the pot as hot as that old rcbs melter would run, at 850°.

The next time I was using the same mold and was down to 800°.

And then I got my lee six banger for my birthday. Had to run it at 750°.

Today I got to use that old lee and was running the pot at 600° and the bullets where frosting. perfect 35 cal bullets too. Each time I try I get a little faster.

That old 788 remington of mine is still getting better and better. My dad has been shooting the same bullet and worked up to 19.0gn of 4895 in the 222. To tell you the truth when dad first said that he would sell me that 223 I thought that the 223 was a worthless cartridge. BOY WAS I WRONG!!!!! That is the best cast bullet gun I ever saw. I am going to use that gun on coyotes this winter with cast bullets. Just like my dad said on 8mm/303 wildcat or watdehay, when he said that when he told me that I could get paid for hunting I said watdehay!,!, you must be kidding!!!!! And one other thing is that with the lee dies that I am using that with remington cases the bullets fall down inside of the case some times.
P.S. The tip is, to let dad win every once in awhile, so the boolits keep coming!

Heh! Wait'll he comes up against wimmin [smilie=b:. December will be 30 years for me, and quite awile back I defaulted to the: Be where I'm told to be and at the right time, wear what's laid out for the occassion and to keep my mouth shut about shoes.

Of course there's a bit more, but that gives a young guy a place to start from.
