It started out at 28° this morning, but it did finally get up to 40° and I was ready. I used 4 molds today and made quite a pile of bullets.
First up was a RCBS 270 mold that I had bought last summer. I think I'll like these. It does cast pretty easily, as do all RCBS molds. This is some 15bhn alloy.
And also the Lyman 358627 heavyweight. I didn't have many in inventory and I sent half of mine off to NOE to set up a Group Buy on a hollow point version of these (coming very soon!) and gave the other half to some guy who wanted some samples... so I had to cast some more. This is HP alloy, so it might shroom a bit if I can get it into something hard enough to stop em.
And I used the 45 HP that I got back from Buckshot for the first time. It makes a really nice HP. These should shroom well, this is Mike/TX alloy.
And this is a 358439 HP that I won in an auction last week on castboolits.
It makes a nice HP too... also cast in Mike's alloy.
