Final day of casting [maybe] for a few. Need to size & lube. Today I cast the Lyman 311008 & the RCBS 38-158-SWC. I've used the Lyman bullet in my two 30-30 rifles with 5 grains of Promo. They shoot good in the 94 Winchester but only so so in the Handi Rifle. Need more range time with this bullet.

The RCBS bullet comes in at 162 grains with lube & gas check. This is a good 357 Magnum bullet in the likeness of the Lyman 358156 but with one crimp groove.

You're a casting machine!

As long as I've known you, you've been casting. How many thousands would you guess you've done?

I need to buy some from you. I don't want to mess with it.

You're a casting machine!

Been casting since 1973. Opened Dry Creek Bullets in 2002 or 3 if memory serves. Probably cast upwards of 8 tons for you guys & bunches for myself. I sold the business a couple years ago it was interfering with my shooting.
