Very nicely done. Great job on both the PC and casting. Looks like the same Lee bullet I use in my Winchester 38-55 Legendary Frontiersman.

Lee dies, Lee bullet mold and 200 cast bullets on their way. I’ll use 30-30 brass for the time being. I refuse to be held ransom for ridiculous shipping on 32-40 brass. More to ship than the cost of...
