Wow...just wow.

I dunno if you guys had seen such before. But this is pretty damn awesome.
Not sure how well it would work, but if it did...

I wonder how hard it would be to make something like this, possibly with its own heating element to pre warm the whole thing.

I know it's an ad, but I couldn't resist showing this.

I read the post associated with the mold. They talked about enough lead to keep up...I think keeping the mold hot enough to produce good bullets would be the problem. Figure out how to keep it hot and you would be in business.

Hence a dedicated warmer, repurposed hot plate? Or just a low setting propane line on a swivel that can be moved out from under.

ummm i'm going for the wow as well ! that's pretty nifty , it of course has it's own problems ( such as a 100 culls at once lolz ) and the mentioned feeding the beast ,still pretty cool

Having seen it it makes me want to start CADding up something and trying to make one on my mill. I have too many other projects to do first but that is going on the list somewhere... Maybe not a 100 count but I could certainly see something on the order of 25-50. That design also lends itself towards being expandable so I must think about it some.

Really ! I wonder what is the cycling rate is on the beast. with my 8 cavity saeco mould i can cast 100 boolets in 4 to 5 min.

Looks like a curiosity to me, not a way to make bullets faster.

I *had* to do the math re pounds of bullet weight. I assumed each cavity to be a 148gr .358 wadcutter. Multiplying the 148gr times 100 = 14,800 grains; at 7,000 grains = one pound, the total combined boolit weight from this mould comes out to 2.12 pounds. Another factor would be the weight of excess sprue, and I "grabbed from the air" a weight between 1/2 and 3/4 pounds. If this is the case, the contents of this mould before sprue cutting would be about three pounds. Significantly lighter than I had envisioned. I have a 10-cavity Hensley & Gibbs .38 (#50) mould which is about as heavy as I'd care to use...

Not a speed casting contraption or maybe even the most practical, certainly a curiosity.
It's just sooooo cool.

Probably 4-5 minutes of prepwork per cast :)

A curiosity, I agree. A really nifty one for sure!

Some ideas look good, in theory at least.

Reminds me of the time I bought a 400 horse powered car to drive to and from work.....way too much of a good thing!
