Are all those gonna fit in the two 3lb barrels? They look like they shaped up nicely in big red. Now we'll see what "little Ed" can do to polish them.

Hi All, and thanks for the WOWs ;D It started as a 15# batch and was down to 10# when ready for Tripoli, so I added pellets and stones and kept it in big red for this stage. I'm going to do some culling before CO and use Little Ed (2 3# barrells on Ed's homade pretty thing) I think there's some really nice stuff in there. Alot of it was gifted to me so I will probably need help IDing alot of it.
