I hear you about selling. We bought about 25 years ago, several of us pitched in to buy 5 tons at $7.00 per 25 lbs. I was shocked to see what it's selling for now.

Finally got around to casting some ammo with this mold. Bullets are dropping at .309 instead of .311. Is this normal? My bore on the rifle I'm using this for is .310 so is this a waste of time?
