WoW...........Thats cool ! :-) Great set-up ..... Great Photo......Ol Deuce
Thank you. It's what I do to 'displace' wax when I don't have enough bullets to cover the pan. Plus, that jar makes a nice handle when removing it from the pan. :)
BigMak....what Boolits & Brass is that in your photo????Quote:

That brass piece is a 38-55, perfect for push the boolits out of the bottom.

We're getting a jump on the Easter Bunny with these rainbow powder coated .45s.
They may be a little cheesy but hey, "Everything's better when it sits on a Ritz!"http://i552.photobucket.com/albums/j...ts/Cheesyx.jpg
I really like both this month's shots. Big Mak's pan of 500 grainers -- now how cool it that! And Team Termath -- yikes -- that's as good as any professional calendar shot!
Here's my shot: Bee Bullets and the lube that I wish was already on them! But I have my Star .226 die coming from Lathesmith (thanks Chris!) which will make this not such a looong process.

Ol Deuce
earlmck, you got my vote for March!
Thanks much Big Mak! I had gone through about 12 pounds of Lino with the 6-cavity Lee (about 2 1/2 hours of casting -- that's one bee-you-tiful mould), so there was somewhere north of 1600 of those 50 grain pills in the pile.Quote:

I got a small batch of those 22's lubed with White Label's new "blue" that I put in the old Lyman sizer and a larger batch lubed with his Carnauba red that is in the Star. Now if I could just find a nice bright white to pc some up, well maybe there'd be some sort of a patriotic theme to be developed...
Shoot, I forgot to start AprilQuote:
