Beautiful weather this weekend on my part of the prairie. Only problem was that I'd started a paint job on may house two weeks ago and the masking tape had to come down whether I painted or not. So I painted...and painted. Today I decided to reward myself and go to the range for some applied physics research...as soon as I pulled down the masking tape. Label says it comes off clean for up to 15 days. It lied!
Suffice it to say no range trip today either. :groner:
About 4P I decided casting boolits was almost as good as going to the range and I had a brand-spankin' new RD 359-190 mold that still had the packing oil on it. :-) I needed a few boolits to load up and work up a load. I quickly set up my outdoor casting equipment and after several dozen misshapen boolits things suddenly started happening and I was dropping some pretty good-looking boolits! I was casting too fast to do much QC so reject rate will probably be pretty high.
Next thing I knew it was getting dark and I'd run thru 10 lbs of alloy! (368 +/- boolits) No idea what I'll do with that many boolits but I feel much better now. :-)
