I cast up another batch this afternoon. I didn't realise just how many I had cast. I was water dropping into a 4ltr Ice Cream container and guessed I had 100 or so.
After doing a visual cull I have 273 left. I guess I culled about a 3rd, so I must have cast around 400.
I suspect I will cull another 1/4 by weight culling.
I have found little blemishes that dont effect 400 odd gn .458 bullets, make a hell of a differance to little .22 bullets. To be anything that resembles accurate, I need to cull anything that looks or weights even slightly out.
I couldn't get a decent picture with the flash because they are too shiny and I could not be bothered to get the tripod to take the pic without the flash.
Happy Days.
