done casting for a while - chaneylake - 01-21-2013
3065 bullets cast when I ran out of lead, now for the pan lubing to begin,
the Paul Jones .40 cal is a pleasure to cast with, even with my rookie hands holding it.
do any of you wear an "Ove Glove", I sure like mine
RE: done casting for a while - Lumpy Grits - 01-24-2013
No glove. Do wear glasses.
Due to hand issues, I can only cast about 100 at a time.
Just finished 2500 PJ, C'moor .45's this week.

I like the Ove Glove on my left hand to arrange the bullets on the pad that I am dropping them on, I wear glasses also, 100 at a time for me also, I end up getting mentally bored, I wear a regular cotton glove on my right hand

I will finish up with my .45 casting today. I cast until I start droppping bullets straight from the mould back into the pot. UffDah!!. Fire proof gloves on both hands let me break the sprue with my hand instead of a knocker. The sprue drops into a container beside the pot and the bullet in a padded tray. The mould is refilled and While the sprue freezes, I use a pair of wooden tongs to pick up the freshly dropped bullet and place it nose down in a loading block. This protects the bullet base and makes inspection of the bases convenient.
