Cast a few today

[Bad habit]

I got home a little earlier than I thought I would so I fired up the wage pot and started ladle casting some MP 359 220 grain. 35 Remington bullets. I figure with this run the mold about paid for itself. The alloy is 75%ww/25% pure lead. They will be powder coated and gas checked.

What is "ww"?

Wheel weight I'm assuming. Looks good! I love casting my own ML bullets from a mold I made myself.

Nice. I'm old-school and still lube my cast bullets, but I know that powder coating is really supposed to be the best. What powder coating and method do you use?

I use prismatic sage. I shake them in BBs first.

That's cool! Don't know where I could get some 200 grain .35 do you?

Those are beautiful bullets! I load the .35 Rem also, but I've never tried anything heavier than 200 grain.
Are you using them in a Marlin 336? If so, have you function tested them to bee sure they would cycle?
I love the concept of a little heavier bullet and a HP.

I have never shot them in my 336. It's the first time I used the mold. I started visually inspecting them this evening. I suspect it will end up being 150 to 200.
