To start off I have been casting for about a year now casting 1" balls for my mini black powder canon and hundreds of 50 cal balls for a Kentucky. But now id like to expand upon that and cast boolits eventually getting in to 30 cal for my .308 leaver gun and pistol rounds when i get there. Being the price of 50 BMG id like to start there though also i live in Massachusetts where it is NOT illegal to have ammo or components shipped to you but ever company is scared to! :2gunsfiring_v1:Casting my own would make cheep shooting much easier and more feasible.
Now I do know Im going to have to change my set up from a cast iron pot and a iron ladle to a bottom poor melting pot to save some of my own grace and will be adding antimony to harden them along with lube swaging and placing gas checks on them.
My question for all of you is what would be my best bet on a mold for a bmg. Ive done some research for a bit and found some companys that make molds specifically for them. But was unable to find reviews for them. Maby some of you know some other molds for this but the ones I found were:
-Cast Bullet Engineering's 512-975GC Single Cavity. Which i think may be a bit heavy being i cant find load data for a 975gr round
-Noe Bullet Molds 513-850-FN 3 Cavity GC (BMG) Which may be the one
or possibly
-Cast Bullet Engineering's 512-700GC Single Cavity
Id love your input on this project and if you have a mold you know of in the BMG category shout it out.
