    where?
    <<<<<

    I might be tempted but I'd have to drain it out, and count the molds and such.
    it has been a number of years since it's even been plugged in [8-9 anyway] and I think there is about 12-15 molds left.
    I sold some here a while back but don't remember what all is there.
    shipping would be a killer though.

    I sure do like my Master Caster! Had the big rotary Magma but sold it. Just too much! Nothing uses up lead faster than my Colt Gatling! Have a 5 barrel and a 10 barrel. The Magma 350 gr bevel base bullets are easy to cast, easy to size and lube, and load easy in my Dillon Super 1050 that has a special set up for 45-70. The ogive on the bullet is correct and feed the chambers perfect. I still have a bunch of 4-cavity Lyman, Lee, and Saeco molds but none are as easy as the Magma Master Caster. Spoil bullet casting for yourself. AbitNutz is right on!!

    I hope you have permission to mine the lead out of the berm you are shooting into. Every time the 10 barrel make 2 revolutions that's a pound of lead down range.
    IT AINT what ya shoot--its how ya shoot it. NONE of us are as smart as ALL of us!

    Do a forum search. The whole process is outlined in detail.

    No desire to own one even if I had the funds! Or a progressive press of any brand!
