Hi Casters,

Thanks again.
Nothing wrong with those boolits.
Is that from the Lee C324-175-R? I have two single cavity. One drops great boolits. The other makes me pull my hair out at times.
Are your mold handles all the way on? That mold looks a lot longer than any of my Lee double Cavity molds. Like the handles can go in a little more.
Good job on your first cast.
If a man has nothing greater to believe in than himself, he is a very lonely man.
Great Job! Love your tooling. Automotive possibly?.....
You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.
Nice castings!
That boolit looks a lot like my Lee 311-something single cavity 180gr. Might I ask what rifle and load? I've started paper patching castings I made a long time ago (maybe thirty years ago)
That fired boolit has some gas cutting on it. Do you plan to use gas checks? If not, some form of buffer filler might work. I like cotton wool but I have managed to ignite some and I've heard of grass fires being caused by it.

Good on you! Far better than my first attempts.
that was a valve.
The mold is Lee C312-185-1R and I shot through an AK-47 barrel the boolits with GC.
The GC maker was really a valve, but passed very good to the measure.
I've tryed light loads like 6-7gr. for subsonic speed and reach 982 fps.
