    Todays molding

    Well did a little casting today. 38cal 158gr semi wad cutter and 9mm 120gr TC. Both lee molds. I love casting them and of coarse shooting them......
    No idea why the image keeps rotating its not that way in my pictures.

    Very clean work there Leon...what did you cast them from? I love to get pretty boolits but often times they frost on me!

    Don't sweat the pictures, this dang forum does it to me all the time...for no good reason, they start out right side up and then do a 'backflip' in cyberspace somewhere!

    I use Lee molds and a Lee bottom pore pot. Key for me is lead temp about 5 1\2 on the dial and do t over heat the mold. I do smoke my molds with a wooden match as well.

    Very nice job Leon! Now, please box them up and send them to my house and I will dispose of them for you!

    Both are great boolits - enjoy and have fun!

    Good job! You're just a few hours away from some mighty fine ammo!

    Looking good. The 120 gr Lee 9mm is my most cast/used bullet.
