Thought it deserved its own thread as I got my first casting session in with my new Accurate 465-405VG. Thanks to everyone for all your help between fabricating a smelting pot out of a purged propane tank to the mold prep suggestions. RCBS handles need some work with the mold, as Tom indicates they might, but very minor and after some early finning (and wrinkling - been awhile), I got some acceptably decent boolits today (for now). Pretty happy after a long hiatus.
Bands as-cast came out 0.461-0.461.5. Weights ranged between 397.2 to 402.4 grains. I'm hoping after getting back in my consistency will improve. 2 to 1 Pb:No. 2 WQ'ed, from Rotometals. MML (Mike's Magic Lube). Sized to 0.460 on a 0.458 bore. Can't wait to load them up.
Sorry for the pic quality.
Thanks again all. Have a great new year.
