So, with a poke and some encouragement form the community, I cast my second bullet; right on to my 99th boolit.

Thank you again for the info. I considered the ladle method and I'll give it a try. I just can't stop grinning when I review
Don Verna's comment; it sounds exactly like something I would say! ...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Okay, Don Verna said it best....Back to casting. Although the hint about drop distance from the pour spout did clear up a pertinent question. And, I won't post a picture for Bad Ass Wallace yet;...
Forum: Cast Boolits
So I studied and studied, got through numerous articles, posts, 82 pages of "From Ingot to Target..." and annoyed my Better Half, before I could not stand it any longer and cast my first two boolits....

I can not top casting without mould handles, but we can come close. A Policeman friend of mine had an Accidental Discharge of his CCW gun in MY LIVING ROOM. Fortunately the Wife and Dog were not...

Greetings All,
So it is HARDBALL not HARDCAST314605; that was my mistake. I believe that the number is a date.
314606. The metals and equipment came from the same source and the person took...

Greetings All,
Forgive my ignorance, it is not for a lack of study. I just received 50 lbs of lead stamped Hardball and 051521. I'm cramming reloading, ballistics and casting info into my brain as...

Ohhh, this sounds Fun; and I thought I would never get rid of the 2 stroke oil I have stashed! Speaking of which, when lubricating with it, do I get it inside the mold itself or just on everything...

Greetings One and All,
As I am stuck behind the curtain in the The Peoples Socialist Republic of California, where everything is restricted. THEY stopped the importation of an Allen Wrench last...
