Been casting a lil while, I tried some lead in the 450 with dismal results. But discovered the bullets where undersized...
SO, I dug out a old 454 310 WFN mold... but cannot find it!! Must have lent it to someone... damn CRS... Anyhow, I grabbed a new LEE 300 WFNGC mold for 25$ and when looking for the sizer I found a 270g bullet I did not know that I had! I cast 20# Sunday afternoon and another 12-15# last night. I have some good looking bullets. I have a friend in Indiana who I swap bullets for powder coating. But he is moving to Virginia next month and has too much on his plate to think about this right now. So I think I may also jump into powder coating.
Real happy with these 270g bullets and the LEE did a fine job too, but MUCH more temp sensitive. So I have many frostys. Not a big problem as this mold drops 454+ . I will try some sized 454 and others sized 452 and GC'd and coated mixed to see.
Here is the LEE 300g
Here is the 270G and some 165 .311's for my 300 BO.
I am interested to read if anyone else has been down this road and what you discovered.
