Hey guys,
I poured my first boolits today. Lee 309-113's for my 30 carbine. I learned my Lyman ladle is worthless for these small boolits. I used a large kitchen spoon and it worked great. I had to cull a few back to the pot but most of them came out real good. Tumble lube and gas checks and they'll be ready for testing. I used Frankford flux. It was nasty and I thought it was going to eat a hole through my pot before I got done. I think I'll try candle wax next time.
