I cast just shy of 1,000 .45 ACP with a Lee 2 cavity today in freezing Canadian temperatures. Keeps the mold cool so you can keep a fast, steady pace. I've already tumble lubed and laid them out to dry on wax paper for sizing tomorrow.
Since I've been reading this forum for so long (and casting from info I got from it) I figured I may as well finally join and say hi.

Today was my 1st casting session……….(100) 9’s, (100) 40’s and (30) 480’s. I packed it up early because it looked like rain. No need for the tinsel fairy to show up on the 1st session.
One word………..ADDICTED
Thanks 45nut! I like your nick
Rain was the least of my worries today. I have my setup in the garage just nearly under the door opening with a fan, and I watched snowflakes gently fall the entire time I was casting. They weren't going into the casting pot, partly because of way the air blows from the fan. But from previous experience I've found out that a few snowflakes here and there falling into your pot don't cause lead explosions or do anything particularly interesting at all.Originally Posted by 223Pitbull

Poured a few 245KTs for a friend to try out. He used to be somewhat leery of cast, but over a yr he might be starting to come to the silver side of things. Plus he is a cheap bastage and I have told him what I can cast and load for. I already got a buddy that works with us scouring the country for WW for me. This second buddy I have taught to reload and he is loving reloading and the savings which of course he shoots up
Hide sight I should have took the time to empty the pot, but I thought I was in a hurry to get all the vehicles fueled up and the gas cans filled. yada yada yada

Last night it was about 600 Lee 158gr FN 358.
The night before it was about 300 RCBS 257 120gr SP and about 300 RCBS 243 100gr SP.
Today will probly be more of the Lee 358's as it is too cold to go outside. Tempature is holding right at -20* right now. Hopfully the wind dont blow today like it did yesterday.
At least I've been getting some casting and sizing done. Unfortunatly, its too cold to work on gun loads. I keep busy feeding the woodstove.
About 5lbs of slingshot ammo.
No lube or sizing necessary.
Just received a new mold from Accurate molds a .32 wadcutter cast about 700
cute little boolits.
A couple of hundred of these. I just got the muld back from Lee this morning and wanted to try it out.

16lbs of RCBS .40 200 grain SWCs.
They came out a little smaller than I wanted .3995-.400", but at least I won't have to size them.
9.5 lbs of Lee 125RNFP's
