    Kevin, I remember that pic from when you posted it, pretty sure I made a comment about your garage going to fall over sideways.

    I use diff molds for diff alloys. That way I know at a glance what I have. Lino stays in type form, pure goes into 1# Lyman molds, range scrap into a custom 2# alum mold I got here, clip weight into a 3# channel iron mold. So I always know what I have & the mold size dictates the amount.
    EVERY GOOD SHOOTER NEEDS TO BE A HANDLOADER.
