Using my old NEI mold. What a pleasure to use. Heats quickly and evenly. Drops good bullets quickly. And they pop right out of the mold like they are anxious to get going!
These are .41 caliber, 230 grains. I size them to .410" for my sixgun, lubed with Paco's Apache Blue. One of my favorite loads with them is 15.5 gr. of 2400. It has proven accurate in my gun.
Wish I shot like that all the time. No. That was NOT offhand! I used a barrel rest, seated at the shooting bench.
Easter was a rainy day .... so I fired up the leadpot!

Re: Easter was a rainy day .... so I fired up the leadpot!
Jim, do you cast in your garage? That's where I do, with a fan in front of me pulling the fumes away from me and out the overhead door, and a fan behind me pushing fumes into that first fan. My casting cart is on wheels, so I will roll it out onto the driveway pad if it is a nice day (in hopes of a cross breeze).

No. My reloading "cave" is in our shop. The shop is 45 x 90 and I have a corner. I have fans and doors I open.

Nice way to spend the day, Jim. No rain here on Easter so I decided to see if the crappie were biting and by golly they were.

I have never been a fishing person. My wife was. She loved it. I went along to eat fresh fish!
