HTRN.45 rifle or .45 handgun?
I would have to check, I think I have both.
I also have a .510 dia, 600grain creedmoor..

Today it was relatively cool so I planned on slagging down some more of the wheelweights I have into clean ingots, at least 100 pounds worth. Unfortunately, most of the day looked like it was going to pour - it never did.

As for the molds, The guy also has a bunch of standard molds from Magma, but like I said, I'm short on cash, and they were mostly handgun molds, something that I don't have at the moment.
BTW, Mountain Molds does Magma style molds...

I want to get a couple of blank blocks from Magma and send them to Paul Jones so he can cut me a .44(Not .429!)creedmoor mold and a .510 650 grain creedmoor mold...

HTRNJust checked the "list", have molds for .45 ACP, .45 Colt, .458 rifle.
.45-180SWCBB
.45-358TCPB
.45-230RNBB
.45-280LFN
Rifle
.458-350FPBB
.458-475PB
I got a variety of molds, including a bunch of 10mil and one .475 mold.
For those who don't know, a Master Caster is a manually operated casting machine that takes Magma's molds. You can cast 1000 bullets an hour with a dual cavity mold in many cases.

Are you talking 10mm/40S&W size?
I could sure use a source of good cheap hardcast 180-200 grain bullets for practice/plinking in my 40! When you get the thing running and want to make some profit back, let me know!

HTRNSo you have a "short and weak"?

I actually have both a 180 AND a 200 grain Truncated cone mold. What happened was a guy on a casting forum had a metric fuckton of Magma style molds and I bought all the ones that don't use gas checks with one exception(that I plan on converting to "plain base" with a reamer)
I'll let you know what happens, but don't hold your breath, I'll be lucky to have it up and running by Christmas
