Callahan molds

[Antelope Pete]

Just want to give Larry Callahan a thumbs up. I bought a mold that I thought was not casting the right size ball but it turned out that it was due to my casting eccentricities. Larry worked with me and it's all good. It makes a ball that shoots very good and Larry's a nice guy to talk to.

I have never be happier with a mould then Callahan’s. And setting by a fire casting five ball till a break to let it cool. Makes for a great afternoon

Other than the handles get hot they do pour a good bullet.

You're right, I wore gloves and they still got toasty. I asked for straight handles so I took some wood and rounded them with a rasp and then drilled holes through and slipped the metal handles in them. Haven't used them since but will see how it works next time. The handles look rustic and could have been done back in the time.

I've had it suggested to me to use corn cobs on the handles. Haven't done it yet.
