I did cast quite a few, maybe 600 or so? A really good day for me and I didn't start till 3PM. It was hot here today, I had the garage door open and the fan running and it didnt help much.

I also used the first mold I ever bought, Its a Lyman and it casts 150 grain SWC. Its a steel mold and I had forgotten how forgiving they can be. I'm used to LEE aluminum molds and from what I saw steel is a much better choice. The Lyman dropped good bullets from the get, no waiting or getting it to the right temp, it just drops good bullets ...... each and every time.

I'm not running LEE molds down, I have several of them and once you finish the learning curve they will drop great bullets too.
