That was nice

[Scimmy]

For once everything went to plan 1st time. Swung into Henry Kranks this morning and picked up the Lee production pot and a double conical and a ball mould that they have on special offer at the mo. Took the cylinder of my pistol in to be measured so that I got the correct kit. Also picked up spare nipples and tool, plenty of caps and some lubes. Just spent the last couple of hours casting the 1st batch of projectiles and they've come out perfect ( well they did once the moulds had warmed up!). Very pleased and highly commend the kit and H Kranks for the help and advice.
Cheers all

Sorry guys
Gun is euro arms NMA .44, took the cylinder to Kranks and it was measured at .451
Deal was bottom pour LEE production pot and double mold of your choice ( complete i.e with handles) for £64 I went for the conical mold.

Also picked up the double ball mold again complete for £18.

Set of 6 nipples and wrench £11 plus caps, lube, and some air gun bits and bobs all in for everything £100

Very helpfull and knowledgeable guys and I was like a kid in a sweet shop looking at all the toys up there

Whoops I'll get the hang of this soon. Sorry the mould sizes recommended were .451, although with the greater bearing surface of the conical this came out at .45

Will shoot a few cylinders and report back.
