Sweet...rock on brother. And be safe.Had my wife mail me my RCBS lead pot and hot plate here in Afghanistan. Been picking up splatter off the steel plates. Once the weather gets nice again I could mine the berm. Once melted down to ingots, FRB back home

Takes me 2 hours to cast about 1400-1500 rounds. Honestly, the brass molds I use are heavy and wear my arms out. I usually cast that much then take a break. I'd say 3000-4500 rounds is all I could do on a day off without doing too much. I like to cast at night when its cold so I can bundle up in case of a mishap.Dang! How many hours have you got into it at this point? I've got enough ingots to do 35k rounds right now and am trying to plan for how much time that will take.
Also, i have 6 cavity molds that drop easy. That makes a lot of difference.Dang! How many hours have you got into it at this point? I've got enough ingots to do 35k rounds right now and am trying to plan for how much time that will take.
When I get a day off Monday or Tuesday I'll snap a pic or two.Can you post a picture of your tire setup ? The "pour one, fills one" with the dirt has me wondering. I'd like to see that, please. Always looking for ideas !!
Thanks!

If they don't they need to. lolI like the way you think !!
Did they teach that at HBC ?
Vivosun Duct fan. Works greatI like the vent, what are you using for a fan?
I've only seen them at Walmart.My man is a true castaholic @Starkherz199
I need to get off my ass. I really like those sterilite containers with the little side handles. Can I buy them anywhere else besides WalNutzMart?
Rock on. Always welcome a new caster.Ok, so @Starkherz199 's set up is impressive... and intimidating!
@Combat Diver 's, on the other hand, is just Bubba enough to be inspiring.
I've been collecting some bits & pieces, may have to engage in the sincerest form of flattery of you guys soon.
Bahamadon,Incredible! I've got a Lee 20 lb pot and about 300 lb of ingots that I've retrieved from a berm at my range. Was gonna trade lead for shot gun reloading shot but the deal never happened. Thinking of getting into casting but don't know where to start. I've cast some miniballs , but bullets with sizing and lubricating and getting the proper hardness is a bit intimidating. Your box o' boolits is very inspirational.
