Castors,

I wanted to express my appreciation to all the casters here for getting me off to a good start. I will get the RCBS thermometer and the other molds Friday that were on back order. 148gr .358 WC double and 200gr .452 semi WC sixpack, both Lee tumble lube molds. The boolits I have cast so far are 160gr Lyman WC, an old mold I got from somebody at work. They came out at 14BHN. I will load them for my 357. Then I plan to smelt my lead and lino 3 to 1 for the slower calibers. Shooting or a BHN between 8 and 10.

Again thanks!

3 to 1 should give you 1/3/97 alloy and work fine for you. That is about what I use for most of my casting & shooting.
