Got my PRS mold today finally . It is great . I cast up a couple hundred and lubed them . They fall out of the mold better than any of the others . The only thing is I will have to buy or make a barrel full of lube to fill the BIG groove . They sure look good and can't wait to load and shoot some . Mine cast out at .455 . Didn't weigh any cause I had my scale put away . I found I had to run my lead a little hotter to get good slugs . It sure don't take long to empty the pot . :-D :-D :-D

Mine also came today and with that nice little note on the invoice that says a copy of the published article on it will suffice for full payment. Oh the life of a writer is tough guys.

So looks like as soon as the weather breaks I need to get after casting up some bullets so I can write up a review of it to return to them with the invoice. I really wasn't expecting that offer on this one since it is a special order deal. I knew I'd get the standard writer's discount price but didn't expect the free for published review offer on it. Not that I'm complaining mind you. :eek:

This is my first Leee six cavity mould so I ordered handles with it also. I'm impressed with the quality of appearance of them. These are the first six cavity handles I've seen. Sure are a lot nicer and heavier duty than the other Lee Handles I have with my two cavity mounds. That third handle on the mould is gonna take some getting used to I think. Still anything that keeps me from having to bang away with the wooden mallet will be much appreciated.

Hi Sunvale: I guess you noticed by the underwhelming response that the topic of which lubes/receipies seems to either be unpopular or everyone is a secret store bought consumer. I found a site that had several receipies - unfortunately, I did not put it in the "favorites" folder. However, I cut and past all of them...if you email me, I will return with attachments. Most are variations of 50% beeswax, 40/50% Crisco. The remaining portion if 40% was taken, is peanut oil/refrigerent oil/jojoba oil/coconut oil/balistol (one or more of each of the aforementioned) plus some secret ingredient say anhydrous lanlolin or a bee wing (just kidding on the bee wing). It also depends, I suppose on the climate (HOT or COLD) where you intend to shoot and if you use Black powder (or appropriate substitute) or white powder. :-)
