My PRS molds arrived today, I can hardly wait to cast some bullets and try them out. They look really nice.

I thought it was still a couple weeks away. Didn't realize the time had slipped up on us already. Didn't get mine yet.

THATS GREAT

So far I have been spending all day fighting with my propane burner in an attempt to turn my wheelweights into ingots. I thought I still had time before the mold would arrive. Look like Marshall Graybeards call spurred 'em into action!! I think I have finally got the burner figured out though and I should have ingots to work with tomorrow or Friday. If anyone else is more ahead of the game than I am, let me know how the mold works.

Howdy ,
I made two pairs of mold handles today and am still waiting for mine to get here .

I know that the 6 cavity has three handles on it but one is smaller in diameter . Maybe I'll make a couple of those tomorrow . :wink: The price they charge is against my grain when I can make them a lot cheaper ( read that frugle ) . :lol:

Got mine yesterday too, so will start makin' bullets theis weekend, lots of 2.5lb ingets ready to go. Now I have to make PR's mix to fill that canyon up!! :-D :-D

Hey Ho Peddler!

Proud as a gamecock that ye be using my lube recipe and boolits. It has a rather cumbersome list of ingredients and alterations may not work out well. If you are short on the ingredients, then there is nothing wrong with the Emmert's recipe I also gave in same post. PRS lube is way better than it needs to be with the PRS bullet. Having said that; I have TWO new recipies planned for initial producton and testing soon. I am rather excited about them both. They likely will not be better than PRS lube, but they will be less expensive to make and hopefully just as good ----- Geee, I guess that would be better!. When I get the low down on them, I will report.

prs :-D

Mine showed up yesterday, but the handles I ordered with it either didn't get sent or are lost in transit. Gonna call Lee today and see if they shipped them.

Pigeonroost,

Dang, now your'e goin' ta improve on perfection! I'm dern lucky that I didn't melt all my ingredients down into PRS lube, I got enuff o' that fer the moment, but if ya come up with somethin' better then PRS well then
I'm ready fer ya.

Got mine today also and have cast a couple hundred and lubed them . BIG lube groove :shock: Mine cast out at .455 . Can't wait to load and shoot some . :-D :-D :-D

I finally got to cast some PRS bullets. I cast about a thousand of which 850 were "good" ones. That was my first time with a bottom pour pot and an aluminum mold. It took a while to get the hang of it, and when I did catch on I realized my 10# Lee production pot is way too small!! I ended up keeping a pot of melted lead on the propane burner to refill the Lee with. I need to run them through the lube sizer and then I'll load some up and hopefully give them a try next week (weather permitting). Has anyone else shot any yet??
