First Casting Session..
Posted: 24 Nov 2014 19:01
Yea baby First casting session today, The smoke from a giant mulch
fire 2 miles away finally went another direction & let me outside today.
My old used & abused Lee 10 pounder did great & YES did leak
But that's OK, It works, & for what I gave in trade, I love it!!
All 3 of the molds I got in that trade I did not have much hope for
they are all 3 in pretty rough shape, but surprisingly worked great.
That is until the spru plate screw stripped out of the Lee & the
plate went airborne?? I did not think the Ideal 358 156 would work
at all, looks like someone hit it a good one with a hammer right on
the edge of the parting line, I thought it was gonna have fins like
a fish, but it didn't???? Here are some pics, If I can get them to work.
Not perfect by any means, not pretty, except to me, & to me, they
are beautimus.
Lee 90318 2 cav 140gr SWC.
Ideal 358 156 Single cav RNFP. Cast @ 158gr.
Ideal 358 495 2 cav WC. Cast @ 150gr.
I love it Stay tuned.
