Forum: Cast Boolits
thanks for all the ideas guys. Unfortunately, I have more time to cast or reload than i do to shoot currently.
Thank you again for the replies, very helpful.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thank you so much. There happens to be one in my district that I work. Gonna go check that out. Trying to get my reloading room, I mean garage, better organized and stackable is what I am looking...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Is this something midway would carry? Is this something that's intended purpose is storing bullets, or is this just another use and I should search for some sort of storage box?
Thanks for the...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Sorry, I feel like this is a dumb question; however, I have started producing enough boolits that I have to ask.
How are you guys storing your boolits once they are sized and lubed? Up until...

Is there a wait for the recycled bullet lead or just the WWs lead?

She did pretty well with what I casted and loaded for her. Both are minor loads; however, all are shot form the 7-15 yard line with the head shots all being at the 7 and having the guy next to us...

I agree. Not really sure where or what to look for in a lube sizer.
All new territory for me. I do know, my wife likes shooting the 38s I made her and did very well with her snubby today, so I...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
Okay, so casting is great, but pan lubing these lil guys is wearing me thin. When I began doing cost assessment as I got ready to make the jump, I thought, lube sizer! No way, that is pretty $$$. ...
Forum: Cast Boolits
yeah, still learning to navigate the site well. Thanks for the heads up and I will go take a look. :D
Forum: Cast Boolits
hadn't even thought about that. That is an excellent idea.
I may have to grab a HP mold first. Trying to learn more about them, but sure does seem hard to find them for sale. . . .
Forum: Cast Boolits
So I am sure everyone's tired of the *** by now, but I finally got to go out and shoot my wad cutters today and BOY i'll you what, they are accurate!!!
I was very pleased, I shot them out of of my...
Forum: Cast Boolits
yeah, think the lube sizer and 4-20 is gonna have to be a bday thing . . . Wife is great, but she is also very keen to financially sound decisions, so we will have to operate with some moderation. ...

yeah, Wife is an artist, so I have her to thank for the atomic/lime green color. I snagged some free crayons while at Chuys and she did some color scheming for me.
That ladle pictured I am only...

Yep, really great, wife threw about 100 bullets for me today and seemed to really have the hang of it with just about 10 minutes of a learning curve. Apparently she really enjoyed it too except for...

Yeah, my wife is fantastic. In addition to the whole being patient and interested in my hobbies, she is very attractive and loves to cook. I scored big time in that dept.
I think just for...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Seriously, thank you guys all so much. Man that was just great, I have no idea how I am going to go to sleep and wait till after 12pm to cast more. You guys are awesome. Thank you.

I am so in. Good bye BRD and hello casting craziness.
My wife has been having to hear me go on and on about casting for about 3 months now. Finally got my molds in today and BOOM.
Got 80 WC...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Yep, I have a 4 20 on my midway wish list and a bday in the near future; however, for the moment, I think I am going to have to try casting off this setup. I would like to find something deeper and...

Well, worked great and I managed to melt down, flux and pour about 104 lbs give or take. I cannot thank everyone and all the great posts on here enough. I am just about going crazy while I wait for...

Okay, turkey fryer is the only way to fly. I need some more practice perfecting my pour; however, I am roughly 3/4 through my current stash of WWs. Everything went super smooth, just wishing I had...

Okay, so I am trying to get started melting down my WWs and turning them into ingots; however, the 1500W hotplate I bought from Walgreens was only 750W a burner and just did not get hot enough.
