2900 to be exact. 700-1000 chicken bullets in the next week or 2 and that will finish up my 45 cal casting. After that I can move onto the n-ssa boolits. By the time I am done with that I should be able to start playing with the 38 cal stuff.

For what it’s worth that’s about 220 pounds of 14:1

Re: casting season
I'm only 400 into this year, and with minor surgery tomorrow, it will be a couple of weeks before I can shoot or cast. You are way ahead of me this year Ian. See you soon.

I've only made 125 so far. Got a long ways to go.

Re: casting season
I load all my own ammo so I don't have any of those cool styro bullet trays so I went looking on line for trays to hold my rifle bullets and found these...

Re: casting season
Thanks for the link. Just ordered and think I'll like better than the styrofoam have used for years. I'm 800 into the 2400 I'll cast for this season and the "pot is on boil" at the moment and I'll cast another 100 shortly. Will snow coming down at the rate of over an inch/hr not much else to do. All cases are prepped & primed. Reaming the necks on my 38-40 Rem-Hep cases, but that is even less fun than casting and won't shoot many of them until primers are more readily available.JonnyV wrote: ↑Sun Jan 02, 2022 8:22 pm I load all my own ammo so I don't have any of those cool styro bullet trays so I went looking on line for trays to hold my rifle bullets and found these...

Re: casting season
I though they looked pretty good too, maybe a little more durable than the styro....cheap too. $40 got me enough trays to hold 2000 bullets.

Re: casting season
I have lost count.
Problem here is that I shoot them up almost as fast as I cast them.
Like Tom Klinger opined, cast, load, shoot.
I can already hear the range beckoning to me this morning.
Aggh, a siren song so hard to ignore.

Hope all goes well. I am counting down the days until March which really isn’t that far away.

Re: casting season
Yes......... good price and free shipping. The styrofoam have a high "shipping premium" and also send a matching number of small boxes that end up in the trash.
Ian - have you finalized your KY match schedule for 2022? Need a 2 or 3-day match the last weekend of March or 1st weekend in April.
