Newby on the block... well, to casting anyways.

[brewbear]

I just found out that my pellet moulds are ruined. Somebody (not me) decided to be very helpful and clean the patio area where I was casting. All the casting stuff was put in a cardboard box and moved out of the way temporarily.... Well, I wasn't aware of the "temporary move" and we had lots of rain, you guessed it, everything got soaked, rusted and oxidized. Is there a discount code for NOE? I need to replace them all.

 Not sure about a code but they do have sales at times. Try polishing them with Fitz polish???

Thank you James, yes, I did try to polish them, the pins are rust pitted and the aluminum oxidized/scaled. I will try to salvage what I can but other than the handles..... little hope.

Not knowing anything about PID controllers and such, would this work?

I started a separate thread asking this question but anyone have an opinion on this unit?

BB, these codes will stack.

Gave in to the urge and ordered the kit to build a PID controller.

Is this gonna make you some kinda "Control Freak"?

Totally.
Still on the list is learning and getting experience in lead hardness.

The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook is indispensable to the home caster.

Yes, I think I have the PDF saved on the tablet.

Here is my first pour of the day. I culled 4 pellets out of this pour. They may have been the first drop.

What, are you going all art deco on us??🤔😁

That is a pretty fancy pellet dish

LOL... just one of Betty Lou's old Tupperware containers that I sort pellets in. She's always buying new ones and giving me the old ones. Those ones are the side by side section type that she used to pack my lunch in.

NICE!

Had you asked I would have recommended the 217 - 24 - RF Magnum. All my .22 guns just like it better than the Hunter.

Today's casting yielded a 3.5 cup Rubbermaid container half full of shiny new .25 cal. FN pellets. All weighing in between 27.50 and 28.20. (I weighed about 1 every 20 or so as I checked quality). This was done in 4 20 minute sessions. Each batch tumbled for 20 minutes.

Wayne traded me a tin of those and I still have 300+ left.
Very nice but a bit heavy for most of my .22 guns so I thought this would be close to the 18.1g JSB / FX they all love.

Yeah, I'd have to walk 3 or 4 laps around the perimeter of our 5 acres before making any human contact over that one.

LOL!! Well, what's done, is done! Both "helpers" are out of town and safe As the saying goes, the road to H. E. L. L. is paved with good intentions. Lesson learned... again!.

If I remember correctly, those pellets drop at about 19.2 or so grains.

[avator]

A little over 20 from my brass 2 cav. with the longest pins.
Matter of fact, I'm going to go into casting those with the ladle pouring after I finish up with the .25 cal.
I should soon have a 24 Magnum mold in my possesion.

I'm sorry to hear that.

[avator]

I hate it too but it's given me incentive to make a change. I'm going to build a small cabinet or find a wood ammo box to keep my molds in. Right no the sit on the bench or under the mold oven cover.
