At my current rate of production with my two holers, I can leisurely get 120 boolits an hour with mine. Thats two throws a minute.
If I go with a six cav mold that would put me at 720 boolits in an hour @ two throws a minute.
Why-O-why did I not do this sooner?
I was actually thinking of this yesterday while casting some for the 357.
So I now have a couple molds on order.
I usually shot more of the 357 here lately. Average around 300 per session.
I think a boolit stop will be the next project.

The last time I cast, my ave. time was 528 bullets per hour out of the Lee 105gr SWC 6 cavity mold. I use a bottom pour and pre-melt lead for it on my hotplate. I used to cool my sprue on a damp rag which did speed things a bit but quit doing that due to sprue plate warp-age concerns.

I run two six cavity at the same time. fill and let cool on one while I cut, drop, and fill the other. I have never measured, but I bet I could run 1000 bullets in an hour pretty easy.
