Hi all It's just me again asking more advise:
I'm really getting the bug to start casting myself Just finished reading all of "from Ingot to Target" absolutly fascinating book. If & when I do start I would like to get my first mould for my two S&W revolvers ( A pre-27 & a 19-3) Since I do mostly paper punching at 25 yards I would like it to be a boolit I could load light for accurate target work at 25 (& maybe 50 yards if I get ambitious) also if it could bring down small game critters that would be go too. Since my pre-27 has .359" throats I would like it to cast larger then .358" so more like .359"-.360"
I heard some moulds can be shot as cast which would be ideal but if I had to size I would most likely start with an inexpensive Lee sizer for my reloading press for now.
Can anyone recommend a bullet style and brand of mould that would meet my criteria above? Please keep in mind I have never cast a modern bullet ( But plenty of round ball by the campfire) so I'm totally lost when it comes to all those bullet numbers that folks rattle off. I'm learning but it is a slow process ( & maybe some day I would love to cast Elmer Keith's Ideal 358439! that is one I will remember) Also I will be starting out casting on a tight budget ( until this economy improves)
So For now I'm find myself "Cast boolit challenged" but I'm working on a cure (with all your help)
Thanks
