Bought 16 pounds of IMR Red back when it was cheap. When I found out it was on the rocks, I saved all the load data I could find.
It'll be pushing my 38s and 44spl for some time to come.

There's much information to be gleaned from both, but I prefer FC45lc.

Lee 200 swc runs great in my 1911. For general 45'ing, the 230s will feed and cycle in Sigs too, which the 200 won't.

The 358429 mold works great. Did a pie pan full this afternoon and sized about 100 earlier. With checks and lube, ones done with large hp pins weigh out at 162 grains.
These are the first boolits...

Lee 230gr TCs works great in any pistol I've tried. Thier 200gr swc works well in 1911s, but doesn't run so hot in Sig P220s.

I love my 240gr type 3 wadcutter mold from Accurate. Perform like a wadcutter, load like a regular boolit, and function in both revolvers and leverguns.
NOE 5 cavity 432224. Now just need the mountain of snow to melt so I can get out and cast.
Picked up a new S&W 4.25" Model 69 today. Didn't get a chance to shoot it yet. The L frame feels almost the same size to me in my large paws as a K frame, which fits me perfect. I plan on carrying it...

Thank you again Kathie, it was great meeting you! I hope you found it both fun and informative talking to my daughter about sushi :)

Clean it with acetone or denatured alcohol and give it a few heat cycles on an electric burner without letting the temp go crazy. Haven't ruined one yet.
Met up with Kathie for a face to face deal today as she lives kinda local to me. She is a super nice person, and very professional. Buy with confidence, you won't be disappointed.
My daughter and I met up with TheCaptain (Kathy) IRL to buy some ingots, she is a super nice person! Great communication, great prices, and very professional.
If you need lead, definitely contact...

One of these days I've gotta order a 358432 clone mold from Accurate. I've got an old school 2 cav Lyman iron mold, but I wanted to be able to crank them out a little faster.
They shoot great...

Just ordered a brass HG 503 clone mold from him the other day.
His molds are multiplying on my shelf. I think the new one will make #6.

I've used this method on stocks before and had great results, albeit I used furniture wax instead of paste wax.
