My stuff was suppose to be here on a Friday, which would have given me the weekend to play around with it but there was an issue with the UPS truck and it didn't show until Monday
So I unpacked the box and everything looked good:
Assembly the mold and handles:
Then the problem began as I attempted to lube the mold:
Sent Midway an email but I needed to get some bullets cast for the following week (my brother and his family were down from Montana and we were going to do some shooting) so rather than wait I took matters into my own hands (LOVE being a machinist) and made a replacement out of 303SS:
Finally able to cast some boolits:
And a few more:
And a few more (with some already tumble lubed ready for loading in the front):
All things considered I have broken even, I've made over 1500 bullets ($150 from the gun club). Now I can spend a couple of hours away from the three teenaged girls in my house and make boolits when ever I'd like or more accurately need to
. It's not as enjoyable as reloading but the ability to make my own is going to allow me to shoot a LOT more (I've shot around 800 rounds over the last 2 weeks which would normally be about 200).
I have my minions scrounging lead (wheel weights) for me and I have feelers out everywhere.
