I just picked up this mold at a garage sale. (well, last summer) it was only 5 bucks. I figured why not...
It seems to be in ok shape. I put candle wax in it just to see what it would turn out like. Not bad.
My big question is this:
Any idea on how to tell how many grains this bullet is going to weigh? Do I have to make a lot of them and get an average? Is one of the Numbers on it tell me what the grain is?
If I was to make these and shoot them say, a .308 do they need to be gas checked? when do I need to gas check them? 30-06? 300 win mag? What marks the cut off?
Thanks guys!
