Well, yesterday, I cast my first boolits. Nothing special, picked up a lee TL452-230-2R. Had some lead that I picked up at the range (about 6 pounds, after smelting it). Melted it back down in a Lyman pot I bought a couple years ago. Ended up making a bunch before they started coming out smooth. Ended up with about 100 boolits and still had about a half a pot of lead left. Let me know what you think of these.

I lubed a few with some Ben's TLL. Thought I would load them up and go to the range this weekend. Turns out, I have no empty brass. I guess I need to go to the range and unload some before I can load these guys.

Sorry about the photo upside down.

Thanks for your feedback.

Those look great. What are you using them in? You have to either shoot more or collect more brass. Best of luck!

Those are a bit lite - they floated up to the ceiling! Looks great, nice job.
