Friuts of my labour :)

[Paulinski]

Well

Here they are - its completely different feeling to load your own boolits as opposed to bought ones.

Thanks everyone at cast boolits for their help.

700gr 500 S&W - the bullets are not perfect but they are usable :)

(My seater seems to leave the mark on top) I did try to flare the brass a bit more to make seating easier.

If you have a drill press you can take a file/sandpaper and turn the edge of the seater down a bit to eliminate that ring. I've had to do that to some extent on just about every seating punch and top punch I own.

Let me know when you touch those off, I want to have my Seizmometer ready!

PS what lube are you using?

Indeed!!!

[Paulinski]

Thanks for the tip regarding the seater. I will do that.

I pan lubed them with 2500+ lube.

What mould is that?

[Paulinski]

695gr Mountain Mold.

[captaint]

WOW - 700gr, half inch boolits!! That, my friend, is no joke!! I guess 20lb pot of melt won't go that far, eh??? Let us know how you do!! BLAM!!! Enjoy Mike

[Gunfixer]

But why?

[kbstenberg]

Just think that is 8 tenths of a pound of lead there. Ill stick with my 245gr 44s

[rugerman1]

But why?

life liberty and the pursuit of happiness

[Paulinski]

I'm sorry to hear that my big boolits are causing a stir :(.

The reason I got into casting is right there - you can't buy 700 grain .500 S&W boolits so I decided to make my own.

Now I'm going to cast for other calibers as well....

One pound = 7,000 grains. His boolits are 700 grains. That's one tenth of a pound, not 8 tenths of a pound. Regardless, it borders on "too much" from a handgun.

mmmm 7,000/700=10 boolits per pound, how about 1 tenth of a pound of lead?

Ooops looks like 2 of us writing a post at the same time, and I got beat to the enter button, and NO that is not too much from a hand gun. I am casting 400g for my Ruger .480 and would love to find a mould for a heavier boolit.

[targetshootr]

That's a lot of boolit. I bet you could see it coming, like playing dodgeball.

[HollandNut]

Well stew theres eight loaded rounds there , I believe that is where he is getting
the .8 pound from ..

[southpaw]

But why?

Some people are recoil junkies. I would be one of them and now I need to get one of those moulds. Now all I need to do is find the money...

[Tazman1602]

But why?

Because it's fun to shoot hand held mortars man. Set some targets up 300 yds out and then watch them hit.........around the targets!

One word: FUN!

PS -- now I want one...........

[bigboredad]

+1 on the recoil junkies. It is a sickness but what a fun sickness to have
