I finally got a 45 (Remington 1911 r1) and ran my first batch. I got a 6 cavity Lee 230 tc on fleabay for $46 shipped last week. Here is a sample.

They look happy. What's that yellow lube?

Looks like peanut butter! ;)

Parrafin/vaseline/oil treatment. With a couple orange crayons to jazz it up. That lube has worked well for me in 38sp and 9mm.

I have the same mold but it's a tumble lube.
Talk about draining the 20lb pot fast! When it's up to temp and everything's going well I love it!
