I like that.
I have a good idea how long that took and the artistic talent involved.
Great job EMR
Thanks again, everyone! LOL wait until I figure out what to do for the 4th of July!
I didn't do anything. Too cold and rainy to venture out to the shed.
Very attractive display!

My backup "Drip o' matic" arrived today, so I remelted all my failed Hi-Tek boolits back into ingots, so I can cast tomorrow and give Hi-Tek a 2nd go.
Cast some plain base oddballs today. A handful of Ideal 311257 and some Modern Bond D-311-955 & 1145 out of a combination mold.
Back in the land of boolits.
Cast 95gr & 126gr bullets for 380 & 9mm. Ended up with 275 95gr and 300 125gr after culling by size and weight. Used my culled bullets to practice Hi-Tek process since I plan to remelt them anyway
Cast 250 .351WSL 174gr bullets, then 45/45/10 tumble lube, lay out to dry overnight. In the morn, add gas check, size to .352 and relube. /Chris
