I cast for 9mm, .38 special, .38 Super, .357 & .44 mag, .30 cal rifle (.30/30), 12 gauge shotgun slug, and muzzleloading projectiles (.54 cal Round ball, R*E*A*L bullet, & Minie, .62 cal Round ball, and .44 round ball & conical).
I usually cast in the spring.....fall has me hunting, raking leaves, putting up Christmas lights (today's chore), or a host of other things.....

Got a small bucket of wheel weights, spent bullets, fishing jigs, ect, that need processing.......

I cast a bullet now and then, just to keep the moulds in shape. I guess I cast .257 to .580 in the rifles and .257 to .452 in the handgun bullets. Yep, the .257 mould is for the 256 WM TC barrel.

This time of year, when it first cools down in NW FL I usually start making my regular alloy in 100 pound lots, cast into muffin tins.
Best,
Ed
