100 cast bullets and no sabots to shoot them in
 

I better find a job soon or I am going to have cast bullet coming out my ass, I have casted almost 100 bullets in the last 2 days, just out of boredum. I am ready to get another mold, I think a round ball would be nice;) or a another 429 or 452 lol,



I need to get some green sabot lol

Those look good. What size/grain are they?

lee 429 214 swc, only mold I could find local that fit the sabots I had on hand, now I need to get some because I got more bullets then sabots, I am playing with the idea of an 457 mold and mmp orange and doing an 400+ grain. I still done have anywhere I can get softer lead then wheelwight, mold for conicals are not in play (yet)

You can use that WW for conicals. Tom.

Sorry for the second post. I just wanted to add that you shouldonly use the WW in a modern firearm. "THEY" say it is bad in an antique firearm. But I am not sure who "THEY" are. I shoot WW in my Lyman flintlock, with no problem. Tom.

Hey i just caught something... Only 100 bullets in 2 days? You taking naps after each bullet you mold?:D:D

RE: 100 cast bullets and no sabots to shoot them in
 

FG: no naps, half hour per day not counting heating, remember, I am still new at this.

tom: I keep reading conical need to be made out of "pure" lead, but I seen somewhere that WW are just little harder then "pure" lead, but not much

Those are really nice bullets.

You should be fine with the WW's. I've molded roundballs before with plenty of WW's. I just prefer using the recovered powerbelt lead due to the softness of it.
