What flavor do you guys like best?
Can I afford it?Lucky13bullets said:Tailhunter;n18441 said:I've got around 15 all NOE. Great moulds.
The stocking of lead is what I need to start doing.
But where to find it.
you know we sell our alloy ready to cast...
Does that 40 mold actually drop 170gr or heavier?Chihuahua Floyd said:45 - one 2 cav one 6 cav, both 200g SWC
44 - one 2 cav, one 6 cav, both 200g RNFP
40 - one 6 cav, 170g TC
38/357 - one 2 cav 105g SWC, one 6 cav 125g RNFP, one 6 cav 158g RNFP
All above are Lee
30 cal rifle, one borrowed single cav Lyman 311291,
The 158g also sees low power use in the 35 Rem.
So, very few.

My bad, it's a175g mold. Drops at 174 - 177 after lube w/ LLA.Chihuahua Floyd said:45 - one 2 cav one 6 cav, both 200g SWC

Wait a minute- some of those are mine- only problem is I don't remember which ones... If one of us ever moves away we're gonna have a heck of a time figuring out how to divvy up equpment.reloader762 said:About 13 Lee molds some old some new style in both rifle and pistol. Two old Lyman ideal molds,Lyman/Ideal 357443 & 358477 and a couple NOE custom molds. One NOE is a clone of the Ray Thompson 358156 that cast either HP or FN bullets the other is an 160 gr. design by Ed Harris for 7.62 x 39.
Guess I'll have to stick around,not much I can do with half a mold.reloader762 said:About 13 Lee molds some old some new style in both rifle and pistol.

I have a feeling both of us are too old and set in our ways to move. Good thing. Just thinking about packing up and moving the lead stash makes my back hurt.reloader762 said:About 13 Lee molds some old some new style in both rifle and pistol.

Wow.3$ per pound... you bought some before.. its the going price for bullet casting alloy...
you have been here a dozen times and from some of the comments you make you act like our prices are too high... you want us to give this stuff away
Newb reloading question(s)...3$ per pound... you bought some before.. its the going price for bullet casting alloy...
Have anything in .32?Around 15, mostly Lee (2 and 6 cavity), 1 lyman and 1 rcbs. Thinking of getting rid of the tumble lube molds though now that I've got a lub-a-matic.

Odd, I have great boolits with those Lee molds. I preheat mine on a single electric plate.

Lol, I’ve used the hot plate, butane torch, dipping in the molten lead and no luck. Of course the mold is a .25 cal 5 gang NOE and it is too big a heat draw to get good bullets, at least at the rate I cast. Brass and iron molds work so much better, at least in my world where every bullet is weighed, measured and visually inspected for any imperfection.
Forgot to mention I use RCBS, Accurate, Brooks, Boomer, and Mountain molds.
