I spent a couple of hours this morning in front of my Lee 20lb furnace.
I gave my Lyman 358311 and 358477 4 cavity molds a workout. A little over 800 boolits cast up and ready for sizing.
112722112723

These should keep me shooting for a week or two anyway.

If you had a good cup of coffee and a side of bacon somewhere in the routine, I suspect that would make the perfect morning. Enjoy!

I'm looking forward to doing that very thing in the near future. Just spend a day casting 35 cal. boolits for my whelen, now that i've got some good loads for it.
Nice looking boolits you have there! That was time well spent.

Nice boolits! What are you loading those into? I need to fire up the furnace soon, weather like we're having it won't take long to get it up to temp. This time of year I have to wait until after sundown to bring my fresh-cast boolits inside. ;-)

These will go into 38 special brass to be shot in my 357 revolver. Both boolits shoot extremely well in my pistol so they make great practice ammo.
I am working with a new powder. These will see some of that.
