Hello everyone. My name is Nick Wilson. I am starting to get into casting and stumbled on this webpage while google-ing and figured i should join up! I live in Upstate NY where i attend college as a senior at Clarkson University studying engineering. I have been reloading for years now (12 gauge and 30.06). my trap reloads (my first love) are surpased only by me 30.06 reloads where im hitting quarters at 100 yards.
like i said i just started casting, and have been stocking up on ww's ( just got some today actually). they are however becoming harder to find in NY since they have outlawed led ww's. Im trying to get as much as i can now before they are all gone. I have done a ton (days and days worth of research) on casting and ourchased the cast bullet handbook my lyman a read it cover to cover.
Im in the never ending process of getting my NYS pistol permit, and have put a down payment on a colt gold cup trophy in SS that i am starting to cast for.
I also have made some boolit lube consisting of (about) 3 parts left over candle wax (green apple sent), 3 parts toilet bowl ring wax, 1 part bees wax, 1 part white lithium grease, and a few green crayone. It has a lovely green color and even a lithium greese / sour apple sent that is....well interesting. it is firm enough that i can push my finger into it but not all the way down the bottom of the contaner it is in. from what i have been reading this sounds like a good consistancy and since you can lube with just about anything for 45acp i think it should do well.
well thats about all i have for now. i look forward to learning even more from the other members. Cheers for now!
