Thanks to the information and tips from this forum, my first casting session was a success. Only 2 out of 60 bullets went back into pot.
Plan to put some of them, down range tomorrow.
Have no doubt, will b a sucess

cant beat your own load and boolit for personal satisfaction.your on a slippery slope
I just cast about 20lbs of bullets probley had at least a 100 to go back in the pot and needed to put more in that were wrinkled but the paper won't know how bad they look.
Are my kids/grandkids more important than "o"'s kids, to me they are,darn tooting they are!!! They deserve the same armed protection afforded "o"'s kids.

Welcome to the addiction 45cal!
Now that you are hooked plan a monthly budget to feed your addiction. What you budget for you will likely double it if you have the resources.![]()
Only two out of sixty were rejects, whatever you're doing ....keep doing it, that's great!
Welcome to the addiction .
Keep on keepin' on and load safe.

Be forewarned, the more you cast, the larger the addiction grows. Pay attention, so you can avoid the tinsel fairy.
Good to hear and congats on the good casting session. Be safe and keep the in the Xring.
good luck
Cast load test shoot repeat. I started something new this year any night the Bruins play the "casting shop" is open. I've had a pile of fun and been able to help several young fellows learn the ropes. I wish you all the best and hope you become as addicted as the rest of us have!

Sometimes it takes a second box of boolits to clear my head.

It's a pretty good feeling eh 45 scott? I just did a first casting lastnight and enjoyed it very much. I think the icing on the cake was a pile of boolits sitting in front of you knowing you produced them![]()
Range session went great, found that 8.0 gr of unique was a comfortable load to shoot and didnt have any problems. And to be honest, it was a "hoot"! I'm addicted.....oh well
Glad all went well at the range, now you know you need to cast some more...get some practice in so you can go practice...you know.
