I didn't realize that. Well I certainly could stand to send you a few. I don't mind having a couple around, but they get out of hand fast. They can do an incredible amount of work in a short time.
Dad just keeps moving. He says if you stop doing something, in no time you can't. Thay was the impetus for me to sell my Harley and go back to a dirt bike. Figured 8f I didn't do it soon, I wouldn't be able to.
I certainly have seen a difference in him. He has slowed quite a bit, but Holy smokes! I'll be long dead when I'm 85 haha. Gonna keep him going as long as I can.

Good for you, OW! And congratulations to your old Pop for his insistence on being active.
I had ordered a 4 cavity mold from Accurate Molds, their aluminum version identical to the Lyman #358156 158 gr gascheck bullet. They say their turnaround time these days is 8 weeks and today is 8 weeks. I sent them an email asking about the status of my order and they replied thay they shipped out to me a couple of days ago. I have half a dozen of their molds and have always been very impressed with their quality. I'm a bit overdue to cast up a mess of bullets so I'll try the mold out on a cool morning in the next few days.

Thanks Walt. I have the Lyman version of that mold and really like it. It's a great bullet and very versatile.
Got up to camp last week and got a temporary bridge across so I could clean up the other approach. Got a fair amount done and did a bunch of mowing too.

Re: Chairmen of the Politically Incorrect (continued)
OW, what's the line crossing the water to the left of your ladder/bridge in your third picture?
I also have 3 or 4 Lyman #358156 molds including a couple made by Ideal. I have a Lyman 4 cavity mold but it's so heavy that I don't do any extended casting with it. The bullet diameters and weights of the 2 cavity molds are all different and since I like to cast using 2 molds simultaneously they don't do me much good when I want to cast a fair number of bullets. What I particularly like about the Accurate molds is that I can use 2 cavity mold handles on their 4 cavity molds rather than the clumsy mold handles used on the Lyman 4 cavity molds. Those have the pivot on the far side of the mold blocks. Another thing I appreciate about Accurate molds for gas check bullets is that the gas checks can easily be pushed onto the bullets by hand.
I have had a RNFP Accurate 158 gr mold in an aluminum 4 cavity configuration for a couple of years. A very nice mold, I want to use that one and the new SWC mold simultaneously and so be able to crank out a fair number of .357 bullets in one sitting.

Beautiful pictures, by the way! Thanks

Of course, dad was bound and determined to go across that ladder, so I ran that rope so he'd have something to hold on to.
