I'm starting to make all kinds of mistakes- I took up casting lead bullets a few months ago, and still don't seem to have everything right. My first loads were for 30-06, I didn't have the right seating plug and mashed the first bullet I seated, ended up having to make a custom seating plug by filling one made for spitzer bullets with acraglass to the shape of a rn bullet.
My first go at it with the .45 auto won't chamber- made bullets at .4525" now have to order a new sizing die.[:-]
Need a different bullet for my .308- damn case necks are too short for the bullet mould I have on hand.[]
Giving my bullet puller and OAL guage a good workout. and lead can be remelted to make damaged bullets new again.
Biggest mistake in theis whole ordeal was somehow rationalizing that this new hobby would save me money.
