    First Batch of 200gr swc TL

    This is my first attempt at casting my own boolits. they were droping at 208gr and .451 to .453 using range lead. It was a blast and took no time at all.

    Well I ended up only making 224 of them, in the picture they are not lubed but now they are and I got 14 of them loaded up to shoot. Can't wait to see how they shoot.

    Nice boolits. What lube are you using? I tried LLA before with less than stellar results but after switching to 45-45-10 results were excellent.

    Bought a jug of 45-45-10 from LARS. Works great, dries fast, and I don't have to make it up.

    Well I got a chance to go and shoot these cast boolits this morning. I am very pleased with them they are more accurate then what I have been loading. I just wish I had made more of them to shoot.
