Fired up my pot about 4pm, cast for about 1-2 hours. Not sure. Ended up with about 250 124g-356-TL boolits and about 100 158g-358-SWC-TL. Not bad for the short amount of time I put into it.

After sorting through all the boolits I ended up with one acorn looking boolit, and two that were just a little wrinkled. I went ahead and kept all but the acorn :-D

Since I just Leemented the 9mm mold I figured I would run a few through my .358 sizer. I think this mold is dropping .360 or larger now. Guess I'll be loading a few of these for my .38s now, too.

Btw, all the boolits were right between frosty and shiny. So I think I was in the sweet spot when it comes to temp.
