Casting - Stephen Borud - 04-15-2018
My oldest boy did a fine job of casting up a few hundred 45 250 FN bullets along with some 44 Special.

What's he charge? Those are some nice looking bullets.

300 dollars in food a month ?. They are expensive bullets Don. I had him sort threw every bullet and cull the bad ones out. He did a really good job. He pulled about 20 out, mostly because he was interrupted a few times and lost some heat out of the mold. He learned when the mold is at the right temp you have to keep your casting cadence up and you get nice bullets. Any interruptions cause flaws.
