[Frostback]

Just finished sizing some 200gr RNFP.44's and some 130gr RNFP .357's I cast last weekend. Just in time for the upcoming winter loading season!

Sweet! How many did you make?

I agree, those look great.

I must admit; 2 bullets wouldnt last me very long though.:43:

I did about 1k of the .44's and around 800 of the .357's. I already have around 500 more of the .357's, 1500 147gr 9mm's and 6-700 170gr .40's. Will keep me busy for a little while. They were all cast on my friends Magma Master caster. He also has a Bulletmaster MK IV, but he didn't have it running that evening. It was set up for 200GR .45 SWC. I don't have a .45 (yet).

Nice work, is that Lars Red you were using?

What alloy did ya use? Do you push the lead pretty hard?

'Nitro

[Frostback]

Yep, It's Lars Red. They are ACWW with just a tad of some old 95/5 solder I had laying around. I'm not driving them hard at all. 4.3gr 700-x for the .44's, 3.7gr WST on the .357's, 4.7gr HS-6 for the 9mm's and 5.6gr HS-6 on the .40's.

Nice; its good to have a friend with a Master Caster:68:

[Frostback]

Yes it is! He has a nifty set-up in his shop for smelting WW too. It's on a stand and powered with a tiger torch. The pot is on a pivot. You just lift the handle and pour into the ignut molds you place beneath it. No heavy lifting.
