lawboy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I am very excited tonight! My mould arrived today. I have been spending too much $$ on Bear Creek 135gr bullets, about $1100 in the last year and dammit, I am WAY too cheep to keep that up! Could not find a mould that my CZ liked in a weight I liked. Finally broke down a month ago and called Bear Creek and asked what mould they use for their 135gr. They told me Magma Engineering and I ordered on that day. Going to fire it up in a few minutes and see how the bullets drop. My alloy is heavier than Lyman #2 so I am hoping my bullets drop at about 140gr, hehe. I have 12k Bear Creek so that will allow me to shoot the rest of this year while casting with my mould. By the time next spring rolls around I should have 500lbs of these cast up and I will be ahead of the curve and FREE from spending $$ on 9mm bullets!

bmiller Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Congrats! I just purchased a 135 grain NOE mold. Can't wait to try it out as well! If your bullets are black, they are probably using Sandstrom 9a. I have been using it for a year. Recently switched to Bayou bullets coating. Still learning on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
