Man was I a happy camper
fired my first 41 mag cast boolit
cast from wheel weights, air cooled
lee mold 210 flat nose tumble lube flat base.
I did cheat and ran boolit backwards thru the lee sizer
and crimped home made (from pie pans) gas checks

weighed 198 grains when recovered and still has gas check on it !

There is no such thing as "cheating" only using your head.
Nice job!

Congrats on your first boolit shoot!

I've only been casting for a short time (under a year, I guess), and I still get excited when I fire up the lead pot and start casting.

I started earlier last november when I was hit with muscular dystrophy, legs in braces and 100% disabled, keep me from getting cabin fever or going postal
