I posted this on another board (or two ) but thought I'd share it here too - get the most milage I can from my pics
Those are 200 grain Lee conicals (44 cal) and 350 grain Lee target minis in 50 cal. I used Midway 30-1 alloy for both.
Been a while since I did any casting - was nice to get back at it.
I'm looking forward to trying them both out - the conicals are for my Uberti dragoon and the target minis for my TC Renegade. I'll try my own lube for both and also TC bore butter.
My lube is 5 parts beeswax, 4 parts lard and 1 part olive oil. Sets up nice and doesn't melt too easy - stays solid. I'm not sure its the best for keeping the fouling soft though and I may experiment with the ratios to see if I can improve that.
