Another good day to cast

[reloader357]

After doing several hundred 358-158 on Friday, went ahead and made up about 400 452-200 today. Seated over 5.5 gr. Unique, these shoot great out of my 25-2. I'm OK for a while.

I have that mould! It's a nice boolit.

What is your alloy recipe? What lube?

My alloy recipe is very simple. Straight wheel weights. I get a 5 gallon bucket chock full for 30.00. Usually yields about 75 lbs. of material.

Lube for these is the 45/45/10. Lee liquid alox, Johnson's wax, and mineral spirits.

As these are plinking and informal target loads. this combo works out great. They shoot well at 7-800 fps, and are fairly inexpensive. Plus, I just enjoy doing it.

Weather was bad last night so I stayed home and cast about 500 38 wadcutters. I really like my Lee 6 cavity mold. It really is fast. I need to try that 45-45-10 formula. I usually just use liquid alox.

I mixed up a ketchup bottle full of it. I think it's a lifetime supply.

Got rid of the stickiness I got with the LLA.
