I was wondering how much it weighs? It's too heavy to lift that's for sure.

I would also like to hear any ideas on how I can reduce this block of lead into pieces that will fit in my lead pot.

I had some bars of lead once that weighed about 50 pounds each and were about 24 inches long. Those I was able to chop into smaller piece with just an axe, this is a bit big for that to work as well.

Thank you for any help.]]>

Accurate #43-355P brass.


If you're handy on a lathe, plenty of meat there!

I contacted Tom at Accurate Molds with regard a dd pp bullet for use in my 50/90. A base pour design...it went from enq to posted in 10 days ! Still on the 'slow plane' currently. This is the first Acc. Mold design I've had done in steel blocks as the curiosity was just too much. Most of my previous designs have come in brass and I couldnt fault them. Perfect form and function. Toms cat. design. #50-655D. This is for the 1/22" twist but I may go to a shorter version later to be more in line with the 473-500 grn bullet of the original loading. Just making conversation...our temperatures are averaging 95-105F now...and no shooting scheduled before late January...if bush fire restrictions dont cancel them. Fingers crossed. My best to all for the festive season. Stay safe, stay well and have a great Christmas.

So waited a couple of more minutes and with the temp up , I cast 1 bullet from each mould, yup close but no bananas . To end this diatribe what I found was after the 3rd cast from each mould the bullets were well with in my sort range...
Think I'll keep on doing this with the thermometer, and just cast 3 put those in the sprue can , then start keeping this shiny looking buggers.]]> So today when the Mag 25 came to temp, I grabbed the thermometer and just touched about the first inch in the top of the melt, sure nuff, it was a bit under what I like to run my alloy at.

Are there any mould makers that make hollow base rifle moulds? I have been reading about on the 43 Spanish and it seem that the best GG bullets were from Remington and they were hollow based. The Lyman mould looks like a good copy of the original bullet, but it has a flat base. I am not interested in PP bullets.
