Working on a batch of RCBS 45-.405gr FN. Have about 50lbs.done another 40lbs or so to go.Once I get started I have a hard time stopping.
Once more into the fray. Into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live or die on this day. Live or die on this day.
Cast several pounds of these a few days ago. Lubed yesterday with LBT Blue.
Those are good looking bullets! I ran 21# of LBT .430"/240 WFN today. I'll lube them up tomorrow.

I only cast a small bunch of Mihec's 45-503 the clone of the H&G #503 44 boolit made into a 45 caliber boolit. In my alloy (very close to Lyman #2) they weigh right about 285gr. These I shoot our of a Ruger Blackhawk in 45Colt. (it's the only sixgun I have that it fits in, the nose is too long for my others)

Lyman 410610s for 41 magnum, around 500 this last Sunday.
In all, the .41 Magnum would be one of my top choices for an all-around handgun if I were allowed to have only one. - Bart Skelton
Over the past 2 weekends I cast 47 lbs. of Saeco 9mm RN bulllets and mailed them to a friend of mine in MS. He got them today.
At one with the gun.
How you like this bullet?
Yesterday I made nice shiney monotype corn cob ingots. Came from large bricks that don't lend themselves to alloying very well. Now I need to experiment with mixing with Pb and hardnesses.

29 pounds of sprue
44 pounds of L-429421
This was my fun for last night. I'm casting more than I'm loading here these days. I may have to start selling some off.

HB boolits...........you did good.
About 150 Lee 210 grain .41 Magnums. (I wish I had a 6-cavity mold instead of a 2)
Fixin' to go back out and melt down about 20 pounds of indoor range scrap and make little muffins.
I thought about the muffin pan myself, then I started using the stainless steel cocktail sauce cups. Got a set off ebay for about $6.00, that way I can use 1-2 and just leave them setting in my drip pan, which is a 9x9 cake pan.
