Hi all, thought I'd share some pics of my first ever casts and see what y'all think. I used a lee CTL312-160-2R mold with lead from diving weights and some fishing sinkers. Bullets came out at .311...

The bomb. The shop I bought my first one from is only 15mins from work, just getting there within their business hours is the problem

Bought these last weekend. The Sheffield folding knife is good, $10.99, I have another but they do need a good cleaning up with a whetstone to get them razor sharp, this one has a burr from the...

Steelo I just bought a svord peasant, got a discount on it. Wasn't terribly sharp we I got so had to run it over my 1000-6000 whetstone, only just shaves hair and slices paper.

charliehorse dannyb I don't measure runout neither, I merely want bullets visibly straight, my lee die seats them a little crooked.

1000-6000grit stone by spartan siting on a jig I made to set angle of stone, not blade. I made a mistake in previous post, I don't hold knife at 90deg its horizontal at 180deg. Gerber and Smith...

What I meant was getting the angle right for any individual knife as in 17deg, 20deg 25deg. I can work out 90deg and 45deg but below 45 I can't workout. Also I'm far sighted so I can't see the blades...

I've bought the small rabbiters style Edgington steel. Guy in the shop believed it would be great for my Victory knives. I had a play with it, works great on my victory and Knifekut knives, but a bit...

After cleaning up the brass with wire wool and the Lee brass cleaning drill attachment and then inspecting the brass for damage, I'll probably discard 10% of brass. I have had one crack open when I...
