Casting success

[Miago5]

Just finished casting my first several hundred boolits. Several more to come. Thanks for all the knowledge shared on here. Made the learning much easier.

Way to go, it's a good feeling once you get it figured out and the good bullets keep popping out.

94 moulds and every time I get a new one I cast a few then set some on the table to look at and wonder how well it will shoot. Then it's time to reload and shoot.

Several hundred, not several. Can’t have several groups of a hundred???

Here some pictures.

I saved a few from my first attempts for reminders. The rest are waiting for sizing/lube.

Just teasing you, and pointing out just how vague the term several is.

Good on you for joining the casting fraternity. It's a very rewarding and interesting hobby. I'm almost totally switched over to casting all of my HG boolits now and have started tinkering with powder coating.

Keep up the good work and be safe. I see a Hardness Tester, PID Temperature Controller and PC Oven in your future.

Cheers,

Where does everyone get their powder coat from?

A PC oven is next on the list. Made my wet tumbler from parts scavenged from an old scroll saw.

Princess Auto carries Powder and PC ovens. I use a toaster oven picked up from the local thrift store for $20.

Buy "ToolBlue" powder coat from Emerald Coatings in Palmerston, Ontario. Forget all the rest, TB beats them all. Great all-over coverage, simple setup, and outstanding results....every time.

Cast, powder coat, size, reload.

Nice looking boolits! 115 gr 9mm?

 

[Miago5]

Thanks. I am waiting on my order for a them right now and got a toaster from Kijiji for cheap.

The bullets weigh in at 124 grains and are 9mm.

The wrinkled bullets are because the mold wasn't up to temperature yet. I always have to toss the first ones back into the pot when I first start throwing bullets from the Master Caster.
