It was raining here this morning, and continues....I decided to cast some boolits and opted to use the NOE 311008GC 4 cavity to cast up a batch of lightweight 30s. I have a batch of low antimony mix in the 20# Lee, and decided to use it since I was planning on moderate velocity loads anyway. The mold preheated on top of the pot, and I dumped the 1st cast into the sprue box. After that, it was all keepers. The session was going unusually well, and I kept feeding the sprue back into the pot along with preheated 1/2# ingots, frequent fluxing, etc. I finally got tired and called it a session. The naked boolits weigh 120gr in this mix, and the batch weighs 17# according to my old scale, so just shy of 1K boolits in this session! These are beautiful boolits, and lots of 'em!

They try telling me that I'm crazy but we know better.
They'll keep me busy experimenting for a while. Between my 30-06s, 7.5x55s, 308s, 30-30s, 32-20, and 7.62x39 bolt gun I have plenty to feed. I had already fed some to the 7.62x39 sized .312" and they grouped 3/8"-1/2" at 58 yards. The Lee pot is full of that mix and I have another 5# on hand, so may cast another batch.You may not post new threadsYou may not post repliesYou may not post attachmentsYou may not edit your postsForum Rules
