.38’s, .40’s, and .44’s. OH MY!...lol

It’s amazing how much you can get done once you’re into a rhythm.

Look at all the work you just made for yourself. Now yore gonna have to load all of em in cases. You should jus send em to me so you have time for other things instead of slaving over a press all day :kidding: looks good

As Darth Vader would say, "Impressive".

Once you get that rhythm going, sizing goes almost as fast.:bigsmyl2:

Very satisfying being "in the zone" and then getting to admire the result. Good work!

Great job!

Last summer I purchased a Lee TL 356-124 6 cavity mold ( my first mold with more than 3 cavities). I set down under a shade tree on a hot 87 degree day and started casting. Those bullets fell like rain and I just kept feeding the pot. By the time my back started getting stiff and I got up to stretch out I had poured about 3,500 boolits. Was later disappointed when I found out that my pistol did not like them.
But man can those 6 cavity molds crank out the boolits when you get a good rhythm going.

Looking good, that will keep you shooting for a while.

Yes, impressive (only if that amount didn't take a week! ;-)). When I was younger and full of energy I did something like that, but just one pan, with a Lyman 429421 single cavity mold. I haven't been the same since...

When I get in the groove casting (in cooler weather!!!!) I generally end up with piles like that. Anything from 30 cal thru 300gn 45LC's. Nice to have a stash of boolits ready to (hopefully PC) and then load.

How many in a pile or how many pounds , looks nice , when the mold is running smooth and lots of ingots it is hard to quit , I have a trough the bullets roll down to a cushioned catch pan ( old metal bottom fridge crisper drawer ) only one so I load pot with ingots and put next mold on hot plate when switching , powder coat next day another long session , I usually measure in coffee cans , how many stashed away

That looks like a 2 cavity mold , even more impressive , my hat is off and a good job enjoy the shooting you have made .
