This old bullet mould still has life!

Made it outside today with my new to me Lyman 454-309. Thanks for looking. Boats

I like seeing people trying out the less common cast bullet designs.

Gorgeous, those should make for some nice shooting!

That's an awesome profile: Just rounded enough that it would make speedloading easier, but still has a full wadcutter profile. WOW!

Purely lovely!
What you gonna load 'em with?
Alox or a homebrew lube?

Had a good Saturday casting myself. A pile of bullets is quite satisfying!

Need to crank out some .695 diameter minies myself.

Sizing??

When I cast/coat bullets with a diameter of .401" or larger, I have to size before PC AND after PC.
If I pass on the "Pre Size" step (Size only after PC) most of my projectiles will be too large to pass through my size die without damage..Heck, I have stuck some "Plugs" in my size dies==MAN, is THAT a problem to get out!!..

Do you Pre size and Post size??..Bill.

I haven't had that problem yet. With these bullets I might need to do that. There coming out of the mold .456 and I usually size to .452. I might 2 stage size these if needed.
