Well done Eric, Bravo!!!
I see you are member #10,000. I think that means you get to send each member 100 of those lovely boolits you made.
Isnt that in the rules somewhere? We better check with 45nut.
I would like mine .431" if you dont mind.
Thanks pard.

Great stuff. Good to have you on board, 10,000th member! Hey, that makes you kinda special!:drinks: You could create an avatar to that effect. That would be great!

Eric, what gun will those be fired in? (Pictures of the final target and the loading process would be nice too!)

10K members........who woulda thunk it?

You know, of course, that there is a Russian variant out there with the Cast Boolits ingot moulds. Just like Lyman has the backwards "N" (Cyrillic "I" equivalent), CB has the upside-down "L" (Cyrillic "G" equivalent). Holder(s) of such moulds are fully entitled to a one year supply of both wheel weight clips and loob grooves. Contact Waksupi for prize distribution with secondary VIN number from your mould's chassis stamping.

I was gonna say congratulations on the 10,000 member also, but Bullshop beat me to it. Reminds me of my son and I making boolits together, we made 300 45's last night and had a blast.

Enjoy this very addictive of ours

Eric,
congratulations Mr. 10,000. Keep going. It looks like your dad is a good teacher.
Listen to him and even more important talk with him as frequently as possible.

I sure wish my dad was still here ...

This is Erics Dad, he wants to learn all he can about casting, and reloading, those boolits were cast from a lyman 429336 mold , they drop at around 250 grain, and we will be shooting them next weekend thru a Dan Wesson, with a 8 inch barrle
