Finally warmed up enough to cast

It started out at 19 degrees here this morning, but by 2pm it had warmed up to 51 degrees and was time to fire up the pot! I made a pile of 358432s and NOE 360160s, and I also made several from a 452423 that I just got. It is a 238gr bullet with round lube grooves. ('takes almost no tin to cast well)

Purdy! What alloy are you using?

Top right is 50/50 with 2% tin. Top left and bottom are 80%pure, with the rest being WW and 1% tin.

I try to fill all my empty brass during the winter months, currently casting Anderton wanna bes to finish off my .44 spec., maybe 300 pieces left. next I need to cast up 500 or so 230 RN to get the rest of my 45 ACPs loaded and then I'm done woohoo! Wait, still gotta get my .32 spec loaded, at least the bullets are already cast.

Anyway if I had to cast outside in Idaho I'd be shooting rimfires all summer.

Nice looking bullets.
