I've got an older bag of washers, but haven't done any casting with the Harvey mold I've got.

I'm guessing we're looking for as-molds.com - there are some interesting things there. Not sure I want to be ordering from Russia currently. Payment and shipping both seem risky to me.
A hot plate should help. I've done a bit of casting in a Sub-Zero garage, and it can be pretty frustrating. I didn't see you mention degreasing the mold. Very important step, I assume you cleaned...
Which 243 design? I'd look into the Savage rifles, for value/cost, but I'm an enabler..

Instead of a triangle, you can put down two layers, triangle point up, then triangle point down, leaving a flattish surface, then rotate the next two layers 90 degrees, doing the same, if needing to...
There's a YouTube channel, Booze and Bullets, that just started loading for a 277 WLV with cast. I believe he has both versions of this mold. Recent video in the past few days, should be more...
Never heard of the 245491. Would love to see pictures!
I absolutely recommend checking out OS OK's series on testing. Both he and CW are far more experienced than I am. If I'm reading right, you already have some Lee HP molds?
I'd suggest you...

Found the group buy, but the internet swallowed the pictures at some point.

MP and NOE should have options for you.

I would start looking at charges listed for 115 grain boolits if nothing is shown for the 105 (or whatever is closest to the actual weight as-cast). Size them appropriately for the barrels they'll...

I have seen the 340 rebarreled to 300 Blackout on Gunbroker previously. Those had started out as either 223 or 222 rifles if I recall.
I'm no expert, but I believe the 45,000 PSI spec for 327...
One five-cavity mold that covers the options would be great for a hunting camp, bugout bag, or travel kit, too.
I have a couple 2PB/2GC molds and a couple Lyman and H&G double cavity combo...
I started casting more recently than many here, but my first mold was a single cavity Lyman HP, and I still enjoy the ladle casting. I would agree, consistency is easier to get when you're only...
NOE has a number of TL designs (Ranch Dog especially) and recently made the TL 310-225 for Full.Lead.Taco in a group buy.
No reason to believe they couldn't do another 30-32 cal TL mold.

How long were you waiting between pouring and cutting the sprue? They'll cut easier when they are still hot (you don't want still molten, but a few seconds after the sprue puddle frosts over).

Grmps' propane pot is inspiring. I bought a cheap turkey fryer stand at Menards and HF cast iron dutch oven for smelting. Buy or build a sturdier stand, just for confidence's sake. Especially if...
I've been keeping an eye out for one of these, myself. They have been discontinued for quite a while. No specific dates, but here's a thread from 2006.. http://targettalk.org/viewtopic.php?t=13016
Good score! I picked up a Lee Loader from the shelf at the pawn shop, saw $45 on it, was about to set it down when I saw it was for 10-gauge. I didn't even know they made those. From across the...
