I should get my Arsenal 311-170RD! Hitting the PO just after they open!!
Bad day yesterday... ZINKER CONTAMINATION!!!! I did what I knew I shouldn't and it bit me!! GRRR. I THINK I got it all cleaned out... I knew it was BAD when I had to melt my nozzle with a propaine tourch and the drip glowed orange!!!! GRRRR
Nooooooo!
Well I paid too much, but ya can't take the money with ya.
I picked up a H&G six cavity with handles on the big auction site.
It's the H&G 279. An odd design 200 gr 45 ACP boolit.
Last week I got a new mold delivered; an NOE TL357-135-RF. I "seasoned" it like I normally do (heat and cool on my hot plate for 5 or so cycles). This particular mold took a bit more time to "break in" than my other molds, and I got quite a few wrinkled boolits but yesterday I cast about 150 good bullets with just 3 wrinkles. One thing I noticed right from the first cast is that the bullets drop out of the mold with just a shake, none stuck. My mold drops .358" bullets weighing 136 gr., +/- 1 gr. I'm happy...
I also have that mold and like the bullets it produces!!!
Good luck with yours!!
My Arsenal is delayed @ my local Post Office???? First time I have seen such a announcement? REALLY???? Its not a tiny office but I have scene FAR larger They employ maybe 12-16 folks not counting carriers. Big enough to announce a "delay"???
SO Im hoping soon. If I dont see by tomorrow Ill stop in and request item with tracking as I know its been @ my local office since the 4th.

I ordered the Lee 6banger from ET brass ($45) today so it should be here by their weekend. I’ve shot this boolit before in my 6” Smitty 686 and it shot fantastic without a GC. My goal is to mill off the GC shank in 5 cavities to convert it to PB leaving just 1 cavity with a GC.
The Arsenal was picked up today!!! Momma went in and it was in PO box!!
Momma has heat cycled it four times. Now I just need ta wait for warm enough temps. Its been cold.
