go to soapgoods.com or the chemistrystore.com for all your lube raw materials. I think I've seen liquid lanolin there in addition to the goo type I have.


isoheet in the gas treatment shelves...

Could be anything....


My overly subjective, dirt-floor-lab, low-tech alloy analysis method:

When presented with a mystery ingot I always pull known alloy ingots from the stash to compare it...

i wipe with a rag damp with mineral spirits before coming inside and doing the dish washing soap or gojo scrub down.

To avoid it in the first place when I have to handle anything with this...

I used kroil on my new mihec 44 hp mold this afternoon to clean the HP pin arms that slide through the mold. I had to work on this mold a little to get it to close properly (didn't take too much). ...

I stand the bullets on their baase as they come out of the sizer with Lar's - if you let them sit for a little while and dry a bit the sticky problems are gone for the most part. I have some thick...

Before iyou go to any trouble, if you are using Dillon seater die, flip the stem over and try the other side. one end is rounded and one has a flatter profile. What seems logical for your bullet's...

6.5-6.7g of unique is a nice shooting plinker- 240g lead runs around 730- 770 for me depending on gun

The RCBS 300g GC mold gives an old of 1.70 in the only groove. (top 2 pics) These scoot @ 1300fp with 21.4g of H110 through 6 1/2" barrel

NEI 320g pb gives 1.75 in the low groove; nice mold, big...

50/50 in 44 mag loaded under 900 fps

Cardboard - stacked in layers, keeps lube from drying sticking to next boolit and getting everything messy. Cover up, keep dust off.

Made from 100% mis-matched scrap lumber and other scavenged materials.

Yeah I am spoiled, that is a mega dutch oven I was given for chistmas a couple yesrs ago- 22qt iirc.

Mine dropped 453 as advertised once it warmed up and mr thumbs here got the HP casting motions in rythm.

Wow it has been a while since i checked in on this thread. Glad to see there are others who are sick enough to want to go bermining.

Some time back I went back to the berm a did another run but...

I've never had issues with regular primers with 110.

at 1000fps i would think so

Flip flops were put on after I did the deed.

i had finished a mini smelt of some berm nuggets, turned the pot off and taken off my canvas bib/chaps. I had the shoes on below (only time i have...

The great thing about molten lead is that it burns so deeply so quickly that it kills nerves and doesn't really hurt as much as it seems like it would...
sarcasm <<off>>

seriously...

I stack them up as i size them as shown in the pics below; that's lars red.

I've found if i let them dry a little before i bag them up it is less of a problem.

How sticky is it? look at the...

i set up a sluice box on my second attempt. recirculated water over the caked lead nuggets until everything was washed off, then repeated with a new shovelfull over and over until done.

50/50 water dropped has worked fine for me in 9mm, 44, 45 and 45-70.

not looking for MAX loads in each, just solid medium velocity plinking loads.

one of jawjaboy's original mold versions, drops between 6 and 7 lbs depending on alloy. stack nicely offset 1x3

with standard lyman ingot in it for scale:
