Forgot about this

[frontier gander]

Was cleaning up my shelf in the shop and came across a small paint can filled with lead. Powerbelt lead!! I melted it down and ran it through the heat twice to get as much as possible. I ended up with 6lbs of this beautiful soft lead. I think my chick is buying me the 360gr minie mold so this is what i will use for those.

Heres 4lbs of the lead. I have another 2 lbs in the shop cooling down + another can of recovered powerbelts to melt down and block up.

Hopefully the Accura will shoot the Minie's okay. If not, im sure i got something in here that will :lol:

That's the best use of a powerbelt bullet that I've ever seen.

 

[frontier gander]

I disagree, i believe this is the best use for powerbelts :wink:

295 pure lead series with 90 grains of powder.

115 yards with one fantastic shot in the lungs.

33 wide and 218 3/8 gross.

I wouldnt brag about that, there is more pride in having one good woman who trusts you and and that you love unconditionalyl. To each their own...

Ever tried to cast a heavy conicals like a great plains or somethign like that? Always wondered if that would e a cheap way to shoot. Could water cool them to give them some hardness...

 

[frontier gander]

dropping them straight into cold water and letting them sit for 24 hours will harden them but for a muzzy you want them soft. Ive casted a bunch of pistol bullets but never a big conical... yet!

 

[shooter44n45]

I have done ALOT of shooting (used to shoot 3000 rounds of pistol a month when I shot USPSA and I have reloaded for 17 years but never casted a single bullet. I thought you would want a little bit of toughness to a conical.

 

[frontier gander]

if the lead is to hard, it will be a bear getting down the bore as the rifling wont be able to cut it as easily. I bought some Minie conicals years ago for an X-150 i had and what ever the guy uses, they were so tough that i had to use a small mallet to get them down the barrel.

That's enough lead to make 80+ Trashcans. Send it to Bat. 8)

Where do you get these trashcans and is there a mold for them?
