Well, here we go again, dust off those cob webs of my furnace and let it rip… 2 years worth of 7 1/2 shot (i keep the shot and convert shells to slugs). So, what does 2 years worth of shot give you - about 130 Snider 577 pills at 500+gr of awesomeness.
Way too cold to work in the backyard, so cracked the garage door open, pushed the fumes out and mask on…
About 130 Snider pills.
30cal Sierra TMK 168gr for reference. They ain’t small.
Also, casting shit this size is not exactly rinse and repeat. Mould gets too hot, needs to cool, need to hold it much more firmly than normal mould because it sips out, etc. But after casting slugs and 577-450, I think I got the hang of it. Anyway…
I thought to myself, I am already here and it’s cold again, since the the furnace is off, so lets turn the oven on… Added a bit of modern touch to this babies and powder coated them.
Preheat…
commercial break
All done and coated.
another commercial break
and lubbed.
So I think all up this just shy of 3 hours of work, give or take.
But what I am really trying to say here, is that it was the last time, that prick @bentaz makes his pet baby dinosaur chase me around the paddock. No more!
