I finally got around to lee-menting and casting with the Fat 30. Boolits are 187ish from a hybrid mix or whatever went in the pot of previous rejects and what was already in there - almost 20 lbs -, along with some magnum shot, and water quenched. Sampling appears round at 315+ and 306+,and they're hard enough that a fingernail leaves barely a mark. The mould appears to be fairly uniform and casted well from the get-go. After lee-menting and carpenter pencil coloring the block tops and bottom sprue plate I also lightly smoke the cavities with stick matches. Casting session was quite enjoyable. Had the wood stove on rock'n'roll and a cold one handy for sips.
I'm planning on shooting some of these along with 314299 and 312-185-1r in .308 tomorrow after mil bolt match. Don't have them loaded yet, later. Possibly 41+/DP86.
What's been "all y'alls" (that's oklahomese for you'ns) results with this boolit? sundog
