Hi Everybody, I am a newbie on this site and I am from Eugene, Oregon. I am going to start casting 45 cal bootlits and just ordered a bottle of bullplate spruce plate lube from Bullshop. I look forward to participating in various forums on this site as well as obtaining and sharing awesome information from the the rest of you. Talk to you soon.
Take Care,

Ahh, a fellow Oregonian from the red side! Long live the south, even if I am a beves fan(alum). Welcome aboard sir! I think you will like it here.
Welcome! I'm just a bit south of you in the Red part of the state. If you get down my way feel free to drop in for a cup of java and a look see at my casting setup.

Like I have been saying - the answer to #1 newbie question is: Because your
mold is dirty and too cold.
Now you have the correct answers to the next few.
What a timesaver!

Welcome aboard! Eugene is a nice enough place to be from! I split my time between Colorado and the border of Cal/Ore on the (hack, cough) CA side. I even crossed the border today and went to Brookings. I still will never get why gas is 4.39 here and 3.69 20 miles away. And y'all get valet gas pumping serviceEnjoy the obsession, er, I mean hobby!

Howdy ! welcome to the melting pot
Thanks to ALL of you for the very warm welcome, I appreciate it. I am going to start pouring 45 cal. boolits. I just received my new
Lee Bullet Mold with handles 45 cal TL452-230-2R Round Nose 90346 .452 NIB, I should be receiving my new Lee single stage press any day now, I just received the Lee .452 resizer kit. I have been studying and reading on this site for about a month now, and have gained alot of knowledge, HOWEVER, I really appreciate the tips from you experienced ones. I am a very experienced lead poorer, I pour my own lead weights for fishing but this is my first time pouring boolits.
Again, any tips would be greatly appreciated. Between the gun stuff, also getting the boat and fishing stuff ready for Halibut fishing in a couple of months and oh, can not forget the COBRA car, have to get out and burn some rubber. Being retiired is alot of work, FUN WORK.
