Do you have natural gas line to your house? If so, it burns hotter then propane. You might be able to find an old 2 burner stove and use that for melting range scrap.

How heavy of a boolit are you looking at shooting. 20 inch barrel is long for 223/5.56. My 18 inch with 1:8 likes 70 plus grain boolits. My 16 inch 1:7 loves the heavy ones as well. Both are carbine...

NOE has a area on the forum for YouTube videos to step you through a lot of the items they build. You can do a search on YouTube for fullleadtaco as he does a lot of reviews for NOE.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Lots of great advice here. Something you might look at as well. Have a dead mule installed in your stock. When done correctly, it will help reduce recoil. Then you can play with the heavy boolits and...
I'm thinking RL 15 for the 458. That also depends on what the software says too.
Thank you for all the input. Think I'll pull the trigger and buy it.
Shooting heavy cast booltis in AR 223 and AR 458 Socom. The 458 should be fun finding loads for.

There is not a lot of load information for heavy cast boolits in 223 and 458 socom.
Is there anything that one needs to...

Hello,
I have been casting for about 25 years. More off than on. During that time i have always used COWW. Now that I'm out of COWW, a friend dropped off a few hundred pounds of 97% Pb 3% Sb...
I have had great luck with VV N310 and VV N340.
Thank you both for the reply. I also have to see if someone local has H4895.
Hello,
Just ordered a NOE 225-67-FN-A5 3.
This is for a AR 15 build with a 1:7 twist barrel for 223 W.
This is for, plinking, target and maybe small game.
I do have some VV N 310, N 320,...
