357 mold arrived !!!!
« on: August 12, 2005, 02:36:13 PM »
the 357 mold arrived jeff !

have you worked up any loads for this monster ? i figure on casting up 90% wheel weights and 10% 50/50 solder for these loads that i figure will shoot pretty good out of a 357 magnum shell case.

the gas check was a good idea, something this heavy would probably pressure deform even with slow powders.

i need to order up a set of handles for it, this is my first 6 cavity mold.

so good powders would be H110, 296 ? maybe unique for wimpy loads.

there''s room for all of God''s fauna and flora, right on my dinner plate!
