Thanks for setting my mind at ease.
I'm very careful to remove stick-on wheel weights when smelting, so I knew that wasn't in the mix.
I was amazed at how quickly this mold started dropping...

I bought one of these, and several others, last spring and just recently had time to try it out. Cast great as soon as I got it warm.
My problem is that it is supposed to be 230 grain .452 TL and...

DO they have them in Dillon blue?

Another option to locking dies in the dillon heads is to bore a hole through the side and thread it for a set screw. Read this somwhere but I'm using the lee rings upside down on several calibers for...

DonH has cut right to the chase, so to speak.

Patriotism and honor are in very short supply today and it seems that none of the politicos even know it's still available to anyone willing to...

Since I don't think I need anymore caliber change kits, I'll tell you how I got mine off list.
1st. Know what you need and what it would cost retail + shipping and tax if applicable.
2nd. Find the...

Glad to hear that Lee has some product shipping again. I've had 5 6 cavity and 1 2 cavity mold on order since the middle of February.
I have used never-seize on the sprue plate screw on my 2 cavity...

Now that I've had time to read other replies and think through my first post, I have concluded that the only way to save you from the constant agravation of cleaning the primer feed is for you to box...

I've been loading with a Dillon 550b off and on for about 25 years and this is normal. You will probably find a little piece of shaved off primer cup, sort of half moon shaped, lying on top of the...

I'm getting good results with redot 6.2 gns under a 240 gn semi-wadcutter lee tl mold in 44mag cases. Haven't clocked it yet but it hits where I point it, is milder than factory but not wimpy and no...

I'm new to casting and right now I only have a couple of molds. Both are of the tumble lube variety.
My question is. What are the advantages to somthing like a lyman 4500 as opposed to the lee...

I followed someones advise of cutting a slit in an old towel and placing it over my quenching bucket. This stops most of the splash.

I have read carefully all the rare and desirable items available from you guys and still can't find anything I can use. None the less, I also have some unused skyhooks available since I work for the...

If you do a search for Teflon Flu you'll find that Dupont has known about this problem with teflon since before it's release. They determined that the health hazard to us consumers is not worth...

Most likely pure lead. Good for muzzle loaders or fishing weights. can also be mixed with linotype.

I must agree with Dromia. I remember that in high school, wow, I can remember that far back, that when we calibrated thermometers as an experiment they were linear in scale. So the deviation found in...

My thermometer came today and though I haven't cast with it yet I did stick it in the pot and turn it on while I was feeding the horses. It read up to 750. We'll see how long it last. Seems OK.
...

I'll let you know when mine arrives. Thanks for the link. Now if you can find me some lee six cavity molds for about 15 bucks each.....:-D

It seems that China is willing to return our lead to us.
In childrens toys.:mad:

Does this mean we are already under attack?

Thanks for the quick info.

Morgan, I'm also in NC. The Kannapolis area.

A friend just gave be an ingot that is stamped Maganese Babbit. What do I have? Is it useful for bullets?

Thanks for your help.

Great close up pictures. What did you use?

Thanks for the info. I'll go ahead and take the bateries to the recycling center.

Has anyone every tried Lee Liquid Alox for a lube on BP mini balls?
Is this a good idea or a bad idea? Why?

Thanks

Hi, I'm new here and new to casting bullets period and this might seem like a dumb question to you old salts but is there a way to safely salvage lead from old car batteries and would it be useful to...
