Thanks for the outstanding reply, Forrest r. I have never slugged a barrel. Do you recommend getting a slug kit? If so, do you have a recommendation?

Iowa Fox, Do you care to explain? I have been wanting a few of his moulds
Forum: Cast Boolits
Super Sneaky Steve, Which mold is this? I like the looks of this one. I bet it’s a good shooter
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks for the recommendations here, everyone. I have continued to research the different moulds and now my list has grown. If anyone has any has anything to add on these or other recommendations...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks, Gary. I will check out that 358432 that NOE recreated. Also how do you like the 41 compared to the other magnum calibers? I remember my dad having a ruger 41 mag when I was a kid.

This boolit looks similar to the LBT FN. It sounds as though you like it. The length isn’t a problem?
Forum: Cast Boolits
I’m unfamiliar with this mould, but you have me interested. It wouldn’t be fired through a GP100 though. It will be fed to a 6” python. How’s the length of this?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks for all the replies so far! Now I have even more options to research

I am wanting to start casting and reloading for the 38/357 mag. It will be used in a wheel gun, colt’s new python 6”. I was hoping some with experience can give me their experiences with these...

I didn't realize his site was down until I recently looked. So is this temporary or permanent?

I'm interested in how you end up liking your MP mold. I was considering the MP vs NOE mold, but in the GC version.

I actually thought it was probably 3/16” thick then had so much trouble cutting it that I soon figured out it’s much thicker walled than I expected. I figured the thickest it would be would be 1/4”

Thanks. I’ve found a weed burner I will use

I’ve been trying to post a pic all day and keep getting an error message
Forum: Casting Equipment
With it being 1/2” thick (much thicker than I was expecting) how hard will it be to heat it? Any recommendations on a good burner setup to heat this?
Forum: Casting Equipment
Well it took a while to get around to it but I finally got my pot made. It was a chore and ended up being unbelievably heavy. I still have some grinding and cleaning up to do. It’s crazy heavy. I...

Thanks Dragonheart. That really helps
Forum: Casting Equipment
That looks great!
I can weld but I don’t see how the mechanism would work on a bottom pour and I definitely don’t want one that leaks or drips
Forum: Casting Equipment
Has anyone built anything similar to this or have any tips to improve?
Forum: Casting Equipment
So I do want the flame coming up around the sides? I was under the impression I wanted to contain it and focus it to the bottom of the pot
Forum: Casting Equipment
Any recommendations on how large of a panel I should cut out of the cylinder and how far down it should be from where the cylinder ties into the pot? How close do I want to mount the banjo burner?
Forum: Casting Equipment
Thanks for the replies.
The pot is 16” diameter and will be around 12” deep. The cylinder will just be welded to the bottom of the pot as a stand and also to keep the heat in and focused on the...
