Why is it?
« on: December 01, 2008, 05:52:16 PM »
 That everything I am casting right now weighs either 250 grains or 173 grains?
 Here are the numbers-#429421,#375248,at 173 grains is #358429..
 Moulds are Group Buy Lee 6cavity moulds,and I am running out of WW ingots!!! :o

Be happy that you're not casting 400 grain boolits for a .480 Ruger! Talk about watching a pot empty fast!!!!!

run 3 512s at over 450 grain at one time if you want to feel the need to shop for a new pot!

I couldn't find lead fast enough when I was shooting cowboy action as well as shooting hundreds a week to keep in shape with my cop gun. Then I discovered the little 357  105 gr Lee SWC. When other bullets were leading up my guns this one never did. I had tried the lightweight Lyman SWC bullet, and could never make it shoot straight, the Lee looks about the same, but it always shot about as well as anything right from the start. It shoots good when it is tumble lubed, With a 6 hole mold and tumble lubing you can really crank then out. Because they are short, they are easy to cast. And they kill paper targets and rabbits just as well as my 195 grainers. I love that bullet.
