As long as you can climb three steps to hit the head shouldn't be an issue.
Or you could walk out past the wood line (no dropping a deuce on my lawn, only the dogs are allowed to do that

Lee made a 325 which is disco right now but I’m sure they’re on eBay for short money.

Maybe check with Shooting Supply in Westport. Doubt that mould is fast mover so he might have some back stock.

I'll bring 2, do we need more? I might be able to get 2-3 more.

A little off topic but anyone use lead bullets with the lube on them with a bullet feeder?

Custom wadcutters any size. Maybe you wanna stack them in your 45-70?
Well you can do that when you’re part of the cool kids club.
This works for just about any mould and stacking in most straight walled cartridges.

If anyone has an extra propane tank to use for smelting, I’m in for one. I’ve resisted so far, but have pure lead and high tin solder. Need to make a general alloy for casting pistol bullets.
And down for 1 of @pastera Lee pot covers.
And thanks for making this Sunday. Zone 10 deer don’t like it, but I do.

I have one - It's not cut but I pulled the guts on the valve a while ago so it is ready to cut.
I'll see if I can get to cutting it before the seminar - it's a pain since a 20lb tank doesn't quite fit on my 4x6 bandsaw. It will cut one but it's a PITA to get the cut straight.

That is how I did it. I have one already cut that I am putting up for a door prize.

I’ll believe it when I see it.
I would make small batches
Your better off keeping the pure lead pure and only use the high tin solder to add tin to alloy as needed.
I often trade pure lead to the black powder shooters for alloy more suited to my needs. Last trade was great , 50lbs pure for 50lbs “hard cast”
I rather have the hardcast alloy
