    Interim "2017 castpic of the month" Photo posting thread

    post any castboolit related photo (obviously no porn or nothing pornlike).
    If posting a photo of a firearm, it'd be nice to see a castboolit in the photo somewhere.

    I'll start it off, with one I posted a few years ago.
    11mm French Gras

    Bought these bullets & primers at a recent yard sale & thought I would add a bit of Herco to see how they would work in a S&W 44 Special...

    My Christmas present, from me to me. Since I just took the picture thios afternoon and had not seen this thread prior I did not include and cast boolits. Not sure I want to use them in this configuration anyway.
    But, I like my present and just want to share.

    Happy New Year everyomne.

    In regards to shooting safety.Until you are ready to fire, keep your booger hook off the bang switch.

    Loaded these up a few days ago. Just a 250gr plinker load for .45 Colt. I posted this on another forum thus the Tops Tracker.

    There are so many calibers and bullet designs because there are so many different targets... the target is everything.

    My first casting with 50 % COWW and 50% linotype, and this was my first week casting anything. Love these Lyman 358156's cast about 650F.
