Grandson , 12 yrs. old casting.

[Ben]

Today is my grandson's 1st day to cast.
He likes to shoot 38 Specials.
So , to keep things simple, we decided to use a single cavity , IDEAL, 358477.
I think he did just fine for his 1st day ( Age 12 ) .

Super job, Trevor!

 

[Ben]

We all had to start somewhere.
I guess Trevor can say that he started casting his own bullets when he was 12 years old.

Go Trevor !

 

[Brad]

Casting his own might slow down the shooting.

Ben,
Was wondering when we would see some more Trevor videos?
First time casting and he looks like he is a chip off the Old Block!
Oh Yeah! He has a master teaching him

 

[CZ93X62]

Those castings look right fine to me. Well done, Trevor.

 

[Ben]

Trevor is well aware that a time may come ( ? ? Soon Possibly ? ? ) when " If he has any ammo, he will have to have the ability to cast, and reload for his own needs. "

We all have an expiration date.

Awesome Trevor and Grandpa! I love casting with my son and showing him something I hope he does the rest of his life.

It's all over for you now Trevor. You've entered the Dark Side from which there is no return!

 

[Ben]

Once finished casting, Trevor went to the loading bench and we adjusted the Lyman 45 and put in a .357" H & I sizer. He then proceeded to lube and size his bullets that he cast today. It was a good day ! ! !

He will shoot these in a Colt 38 Spec. Detective Special .

The homemade version of from ingot to target.
Well done Trevor and Ben!
Here comes the next generation of being self sufficient.

May not be fancy, may not be a 6 cavity, but it works.................

Very practical and a great way to learn the basics.

I'm sure he feels some pride in a job well done. Thanks for sharing, grandpa!

 

[JonB]

Yep, Trevor had a great day and it's probably one of those memories he will never forget.

I have a handful of the first bullets I ever cast, they are sealed in a baby food jar with the lid so tight I can't unscrew it.
2 more years and I'm gonna break the jar and load then shoot them... on their 50th anniversary.

anyway.
he is learning how to cast exactly the same way I did.
a little pot, a ladle, and a single cavity Lyman mold.

I had a ancient bottle of "Tom Hardie's Ale" like that........... Was supposed to open in on my 50th!
Somehow i forgot about that and I opened it on my 65th!
