I'll be very interested in the the 6 cavity mold when it is available. I was on Lee's web site showing the new products where it is listed. I see they got smart and started putting together Ultimate...

I'd love to have a length of those just to hang in the Man Cave.

I've smelted in a little put like that. I just hooked a pair of vise grips to the bottom plate and left it. When I was ready to pour I just picked the entire pot up and poured it out.

Yes, I should have said my latest mold because I will probably pick up more................

I was waiting in the TL356-124-TC mold. I also have handles for all of them so no more handle sharing among...

I've had a real busy summer so far so my casting production has stopped. I have a lot of lead smelted and ready to cast, I just need to find the time to do it. Winter is my best casting time as we do...

Lee and MidwayUSA came through and replaced my pots. The first one just quit and Lee replaced it and the second one came damaged so MidwayUSA replaced it. I need two more molds and I'll have...

My NAA Guardian 380 is very good at 25 yards. I usually set up a 10" x12" steel target and can hit it every time with factory and my reloads. I'm waiting on my mold and I will start casting for it...

Is your die crimping before the boolit is finished seating? I use 4 dies for pistol reloading. My seating die is backed out so it seats only. The next die is the Lee FCD so there is no downward...

I have 22 Lee molds now and over the years have discover the old alignment bars on the 2 bangers were the way to go. I have them in both styles and much prefer the older molds.
I can't say the...

Well, my long awaited Lee Pro 4-20 arrived this afternoon and was waiting for me when I returned home. I opened the box to find it along with three 6 banger Lee molds and a set of spare handles in...

I should have said that I haven't actually shot the Lee REAL bullets in my Rem 700 but others similar to them. I like the fact they look easy to load and with the others I've tried they are tack...

Do you know what the rate of twist the rifling is in your rifle? It will make a big difference for what you want to shoot. I have a Remington 700ML and it likes the REAL style bullets a lot better...

I received a new pot in the mail today!! Good customer service for sure!

I just got my blood work back today and the test indicated my level is at 4.3
I told my Doc what I was doing so he asked me to come back in 6 months and we'll do it again so we have something to...

I had to send my pot back to Lee. I noticed the melted metal was more like a slushy mess on top and then the spout would solidify between pours. I tried draining it, cleaning it and even tried...

Also, run your mold hot enough to start getting frosty looking bullets then slow down a bit to let your mold cool. You'll get the hang of it.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Sure will. Actually I've noticed that leaving most bullets a little longer in the mold will make a prettier bullet. The grooves and edges seem to be smoother.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I discovered that if I have to use a mallet to cut the sprue then I've let it cool too much and I'm running too cold. I can cut any of mine with my thumb and the six bangers just slip open.
Forum: Cast Boolits
On my 2 bangers I want to be able to break the sprue with my thumb, gloves on of course. Once I get a rhythm going and can maintain the heat the sprue cuts very nicely. I have to experiment with the...

On any of mine they do vary slightly. Tonight I weighed some of my .356 124 grain and my samples were running between 124 and 125. The heaviest one I sampled weighed 125.3.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Well, I've never timed myself but I'm thinking I do about 2 to 4 pours in a minute with a 2 banger. After I got everything going last night I only cast for a little over an hour and I cast out 150...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I'd say you have a temp issue if the sprue is not cutting clean. On any of my molds I want the sprue to cut easily and smooth. If the mold and melt is too hot it'll smear the cut. If it's too cold...

Most of my molds react differently so there is no set time for me. Last night I was casting some .430's in 240 grain and I had to leave them in the mold longer than usual to make the lube grooves...

I'm in the same boat trying to get molds. So far I have 14 double cavity and three 6 bangers on the shelf in everything from .356 to .452 and 45 cal to 58 cal. I'm trying to acquire six more 6...
