I just started casting with a friend a few weekends ago, we've managed to get about 3000 45acp 200 grain bullets made so far with the advice and help from this forum.
Now, we've found another problem. He bought a lee .451 sizer for this 45acp bullets, and he says it's a "damned hard process" and he actually ended up breaking the lever on his Lee single stage attempting to size these bullets. I asked him if he lubed them with alox first, he says it doesn't make that much difference.
He pulled out his caliper, read .454 to .456 on the few he tested. I bought the Lee 6 cavity molds used from a castboolit member. Not sure how used they are, but they definitely aren't pretty. (not complaining, just giving all relevant information).
The alloy is wheel weights, water dropped method to cool. We usually cast the bullets with very hot lead from a lee 20lb furnace set to the highest setting (all we have is large ingots, so this helps them melt faster)
Any ideas?
