Hi all,
I bought a brand new RCBS Pro Melt and two brand new Lyman 4 cavity moulds a couple of weeks ago.
Is there anything I need to do to either one of them to get them ready for casting?
I'm still waiting on other stuff to be delivered. Some of it is on back order. Like the mould handles.
I'm guessing if that if I was running two moulds at the same time (one in 9, one in 40, or 45) that I need a set of mould handles for each one.
Is that correct?
I still have to order the Star lube-sizer from Magma. I will probably call them in the morning.
Thanks, in advance.
(slight thread drift on)
If I were to run say a 9mm mould and a .45 ACP mould at the same time, alternating between the two, could I dump the still hot bullets in to a bucket full of water, to harden them.
I already have a cobbled together electric brass sorter, so I was thinking when I was done casting, I could dump the 9 and .45 projectiles into my sorter. It should spit out the 9mm boolitts and keep the .45's.
Do I risk dinging up the bullets too much vibrating them that way to sort them out?
I guess my only other option then if I wanted to water harden and run two moulds at the same time is to have two buckets, one for 9 and one for 45.
What say you?
