I'm new to bullet casting but have been hand loading for 30 yrs a good friend has been mentoring me for the last couple of months and now that winter is getting settled in I thought I would join a forum and start reading and learning. I'm really interested in casting for some smaller oddball stuff like the .221 Fireball and the .219 Donaldson Wasp I have a TC Encore and a barrel in each cal. from EABC and really looking forward to casting for each

Hey Small bullet

Welcome to you. Helpful information is abundant here. You will do well to dig into past threads for pointers and advice. There are many of us who cast the little slugs. For me they are mainly sabot components, but the cartridges you mention are very popular. As a seasoned reloader, you will no doubt master casting and soon realize the satisfaction from making your own premium bullets. It is my pleasure to greet you, I look forward to reading about your endeavors.

Welcome aboard Smallbore. I worked in Tule Lake one goose season and they sent me to Klamath Falls quite a bit. You live in some good country.

Welcome to the forum. I shoot that 225438 in a 22 Hornet, via TC Contender. Also like 32-20, 32 mag, 7mmTCU and 41 mag. You're in the right place here :showdown: Lol !
