Here is a pic of the slugs.

I received this mold for Christmas and tried it out last night. I have cast approx. 9000 boolits for 38, 44 & 45 caliber handguns in the past 18 months. I have 18 Lee molds and this is the easiest...

I have several nickel plated 38 cases with scratches from a steel sizing die. I have had them for years and don't load nickel plated cases so these will be easy to keep separate.

Too cool for bees today so I used shoe box lid as a target.

I decided to try my luck at carpenter bee loads. I used 2 grains of Red Dot, a disc cut from legal pad backing, 1.3 cc scoop of used tumbling media (corn cob), with a top wad cut from a foam plate,...

I used a hot plate when I only had the 10# pot. Now I preheat my mold on top of the 10# pot. I had already cast 200 boolits when sprue cam lever broke. I believe waiting too long to cut sprues plus...

I cast in my basement reloading room. I have everything on a 3 shelf wire cart that I can roll out of the way when not being used. I have a Lee 10# pot feeding a Lee 20# pot.

I usually fill starting with the cavity near the hinge.. But I was consistently getting incomplete fill-out in last cavity. So I started filling cavity closest to handles first and pushing mold away...

I was using my 429-200-RF mold the other night and broke the sprue cam lever. Lee's warranty says to return an item and they will replace it free for 2 years. I put the broken lever and a note in a...

I just joined.

Ahh thanks. I was saving it as a pic instead of opening it.

I saved the picture, but can't read it. Too low resolution maybe

For the past 2 weeks I have been remelting lead I purchased a few years ago into 1# ingots. Range, soft, COWW, SOWW, stained glass, and unknown lead melted in separate batches. I checked hardness...

I checked the hardness of 2 recast boolits today. Both showed .062" diameter indent using my Lee hardness tester which indicates a BHN of 13.4

Well I spent about 2 hours this afternoon looking through my records and found out I bought these boolits in August 2010. The seller described them as "water quenched wheelweight lead". Mystery...

I will remember in the future to clean the tumble lube off boolits before throwing them in my pot to remelt. I didn't realize how much smoke it would make. My reloading/casting room is in my...

I have loaded 100 of these and shot 84 so far with no problems. I was checking the hardness of boolits I had cast and decided to check these. I remelted 60 of them and cast 30 boolits this evening....

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will melt down a few and recast them this weekend. I will post my results in a couple days.

I purchased 500 lead boolits online several years ago. They are 45 cal. 230 grain round nose tumble lubed. I checked the hardness on 3 boolits and they average 20 BHN. I load midrange loads for my...

I had 13k rounds of 22lr ammo on backorder for over a year when Midway cancelled all 3 orders. They had some of the ammo in stock 2 weeks later at a higher price. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth after...

My carbine slugged at .334 groove dia. so I buy/cast .338 boolits. I opened up a Lee sizing die to .3355 and have been loading 205 gr. boolits with 13 grains of Red Dot powder. Makes a nice plinking...

I decided to cut the grass this morning. Broke the pull rope trying to start my push mower. So I used the weedeater for an hour. Took mower apart, got new rope at hardware store, put mower back...

I read not too long ago the average distance for a deer kill in KY is 40 yards. I don't know if that includes bow hunting or not.
