What did you cast today?

[a.squibload]

More WW ingots, clipons.
Starting to appreciate the angle iron molds, angle ingots stack better.
Never would have made 'em if I didn't see so many of 'em here.
Used all my ingot molds and a bunch of upside-down pop cans.
Last time I got 77 lbs, made more ingots this time.

The 4-oz mushroom can ladle really works, can make 2 muffins when it's full.
Forget who suggested that, but thanks!
Stuck mine on a piece of rebar.

I made a bunch of Lee 429-240-RN yesterday. New mold, took a while to break in. I ended up "Lee-menting" the cavities with some Comet-paste and the bullets drop nice now.

While the Marlin 30-30 is off at the gunsmith, I fill my idle time getting ready for it's triumphant return. Pumped about 400 each of the plain base and gas checked versions of RanchDog's TLC311-165-RF. Gotta buy more checks now...

I think it is hilarious to see what all we will put boolits in. Your bench looks exactly like mine. I have boolits in bowls, tupperware, cookie tins, j-word bullet boxes, flat rate boxes, plastic nut containers and anything else that will hold more than 5 boolits.

I was thinking the same thing! As in "hey that looks like my bench with the coffee cans on it"! I find the Gladware bowls particularly useful.
Oh, and I cast roughly 400 175 gr. 401043 tonight after work.

I dont think any self respecting handloader would be without at least one on his bench- I have 9....... Anyways, I was casting on sunday and it wasnt very much. About 200 255LRNFP's, 100 Mihec 380 HP's (Thanks Dan!), and ladel cast a few Lyman 457125's for the sharps.

I did a couple hundred of these:



295 Grain hollow points sized to .430 for my S&W Model 29-2 .44 magnum.

I'm a fan of coffee cans too. Store all my ingots in them. Keeps them clean and their not so heavy I can't handle them. You know how the plastic covers tend to split over time. I discovered that the lids from 3lb butter tubs can be used as replacements.

Bomberman, those look good!
What mold?

Awesome mold...love it!

[Jal5]

Cast about 100 boolits for my 270 Win, finally got the finning problem fixed. Lyman DC 280473 mold.

[Digger]

Since the red folger's coffee cans are so popular with us ( as my shop has it's own coffee/boolit section )
Do they make a cast boolits sticker small enough to fit on one ? .... it would look almost like a regular label maybe ! ... would look pretty cool any how with the other small white label I use to write boolit descriptions on.
Just thinkin ...

[ColColt]

I did not have a good time today. This best describes it.
