Is heating in the pot.

I had it hot yesterday when the mold build delayed me. So I finally had to accept reality and turn the pot off. So this am I’ve been finishing the mold and have the pot heating.

I have three new slugs to add to the 50 Caliber lexicon. Details ASAP.

I did 3 new 50 CALIBER SLUGS FOR RANGE TESTING

1). 146 grains from Mold # 163

2). 170.7 grains from Mold # 162

3). 209 grains from Mold # 164

I’m excited to fly these ...

BTW ... the .490 lead ball weighs about 177.3 grains. I’m making slugs lighter than caliber sized round ball! And that’s sub caliber at .490”
