WOOHOO it's getting to be casting weather!

Smoked my new NOE 402-160 3 cavity mold this afternoon and put out 99 rounds.

Finally down to the high 60's here in Dallas.

Time to clean up the garage for the season's first reloading gathering......

I can't wait for the 60 degree weather - I'd be casting about 3 weeks a year!

However, it is so nice to just jump out and drop a few boolits for fun times sake.

That funny I tend to cast more in summer around here. Much less rain and cold.

I like casting in the summer, but I sweat my ass off doing it. I gotta keep a towel with me to dry the sweat. I worry about dripping in the pot. Fall and early spring gets more activity than summer mostly because it is more comfortable.

I hope to powder coat these in the near future -

162 grain cast lead
