I got a chance today to do some casting, and finished off a 1# coffee can of Lee 8mm 175 castings that I started last night. That done, I started out with a new-to-me #311252 that was sent by a friend some time ago, but I hadn't used very much to date. It got used A LOT today.
Any idea how many #311252/77 grain 32 caliber boolits it takes to fill a 1# coffee can? Let's just say, A LARGE NUMBER. Many. I may have created a lifetime supply of 32 ACP castings at one sitting. I did this same stunt about a month ago with Lyman #257420, a 72 grain 25 caliber rifle casting. A likely lifetime supply of those now also resides under the reloading bench.
The next moulds in line are both Lee tools, and new ones--30 caliber/200 grain bore rider, and 45 ACP 230 grain TC. Those weights will fill up the coffee cans a bit faster. After that, the last new mould will get some Linotype poured through it--RCBS 22 caliber/55 grain spitzer. Yeah, Version 3.0 of 223 cast booliting. Love those dinky gas checks--NOT.
