You can cut down on that hardening time by fluxing your lead with Tadalafil.

And as an added bonus it cuts down on recovery time and you can cast every day maybe twice a day.

I like pure lead when I have a slightly oversize mold, or in the case of the 257420 mold and the .255 barrel, I want the bullet to be slightly smaller than a alloyed casting would normally be to avoid excess sizing for the bore I using.

That is were my 30 grain mold came from . I thought about having him do a 55 grainer but my old Lyman was a proven mold to me and this one is very close to it . I might add that the shank on this bullet just slides on the lands in my rifles . Which takes away the need of another band . I know you…Read more

Magna molds said in a mouth or so they will be ready to make custom molds . They are cnc and able to do 25 caliber . I have thought about sending my Lyman mold to Eric and having him make a 40-45 grain flat nose out of it . But it does have a little ware on a pin hole . I did adjust the pins and there is no play in the mold…Read more

I have no more leading in my condor now . 1 The harder alloy . 2 I use the molly dry lube on the bullets . 3 I clean the barrel after ever day at the range . And after I clean it I run a patch sprayed with dry slide through the barrel and let it set till the next use . I know every one has their own way but this works for me . Let us know…Read more

I have casted about 2000 bullets through it and I really do not know if it has changed . I am going to clean and lube it today before I cast . If it does not loosen up by its self I might adjust the pins some . I have no problems with accuracy with this bullet . But it took me quite a while to get…Read more
