    I cast up about 1500 saturday nite and am trying a couple different things this time. One of those things is LLA thinned down a bit with mineral spirits. Gonna give the 45/45/10 a try too, just starting out simple first before trying to make things more complicated than they need to be.

    Wish i had started doing this years ago......

      I've found with my Lee mold I didn't need to size, just lube and shoot.
      Saved a step.

        Lube/size/lube. The bullets come out at exactly .452 after running them thru the Lee sizer.

        I'm still a noob at casting too, but so far i love it.

          Great looking bullets!
          Could you reveal your source of lead?
