Those 6.5 swede molds , what di they drop for size?I am bringing a 5 gal bucket half full of lead pipe. I am bringing some pistol and Rifle molds does anyone have a special rifle bullet they might need, and I might have? I am still looking for the address if someone could pm it to me that would be great.
I had nothing to do with it except my good looks.Thank you Mike, and Pastera, and Artie for putting that together.
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Sorry I had to leave a bit early.
A lot of knowledge was passed on and I was pretty impressed with the amount of boolits that got made by a few guys.
Great job guys.
I am glad my good looks didn't distract people.I had nothing to do with it except my good looks.
Now if @Broccoli Iglesias showed, no one would have noticed me.

The older gent that is involved with the museum. He was very knowledgeable.
I did cast in my sks years ago when I first started. 100% cycle and as accurate as any fmj I have used in that rifle.Thank you for everyone that attended and all of the presenters.
One hell of a day and another year crossed of the list. I can’t wait for next year!!
Now how about some follow up and some pics and info of what you guys did after the class!
I want to see some 38 loads made with a Lee loader, some 8mm that don’t lead and some 7.62x39 cast flying out of an AK!
Thanks for pistol pics Artie!!
Even with Google plenty of people take a ride around the block (~4 miles) before finding the place.Isn't Taunton in another Country???
At the moment I couldn't say I would have to check too many different bullets to remember them allThose 6.5 swede molds , what di they drop for size?

Those uprights are 24' and they can't even get close to the peak - fun day today.
There was some interest in pot covers for Lee pots - I'm looking to judge demand before getting some water jetted.
Current version is cutout for a temp probe holder - can make a version without probe cutouts too
Printed prototype for fitment

Nice work!!Hi to all the attendees. I enjoyed the seminar and picked up a few new skills and some ideas to improve my setup. I upgraded my smelting setup from a cast iron frying pan, that got heavy and too hot to pour, to a cut down 20 pound propane tank. Wow, what an improvement. Pictures are of a smelting session where I did 150 pounds of 6% antimony into 1 pound ingots in about 3 hours.
Last weekend I cast a bunch of .44 cal lead balls for a buddies wrist rocket and did 3 coats of Hi-Tech. They look awesome.
Pastera and Mike, great job of hosting and teaching. Maybe in the spring we can run a class up here on the North Shore.
If anybody is interested I have a bunch of pewter, 63/37 tin/lead solder, pure lead and 1 pound rolls of 90/10 tin lead solder. I have more of the 5 pound 63/37 bars too. PM me if you are interested. I'm hoping to score some liquid electronic flux in the near future too.
My order of interest is smelting, casting, reloading and if I can get my hands on some tired rifles or pistols I rebuild them which consists of cleaning, re-bluing and refinish the woodwork and of course shooting.
