I'll take one.

Has anyone tried using silicon cookie sheets instead of nonstick foil? They can take up to 450 degrees F.

They cost maybe 10 bucks but if you can re-use them forever that might work. Unless the...

Well, I meant actually dummy bullets, no primers or powder. Mostly for practicing and function testing. For instance, checking my lever action rifle loading without using live rounds. Practicing...

Hi guys, I want to make up some dummy bullets to practice reloading and function testing, etc.

I could use lead, but I thought for safety, it might be better to use like a brightly colored...

I keep getting tricked. I'll search for the mold I want, then see it on eBay and when I try to buy it I get "This seller is on vacation" I think I tried ordering the same mold twice from the same guy...

Same with me. I ordered a .40 S&W 6 cavity mold over a month ago. At first it said "back in stock 2/28" but on 2/28 it said "Back in stock 5/24" or something...

I agree that the 5 gns difference does not bother me, not need to modify it FOR ME.

Look up a guy named BT Sniper, he sells the dies. If I shot .223 ALOT I'd consider it, just because it's neat. But it might not be worth it to everyone.

That guy should be a politician with that answer!

"When will primers be available to the general public?"

"That's an excellent question, thank you for asking that. I can tell you right now that...

I think for the Ballisticast price, I'll wait for the MiHec group buy, it looks to be a good "gamer" bullet as Oreo said. Thanks for the link though!

Oreo, yes I jumped onto the group buy for the Mihec mold. I will also check out some of the other options presented in this thread!

Thanks guys!

Please add me for a #2 mold (190/185/180)!

Hi guys, I have on order a Lee 401-175-tc (or whatever the number is for 175 gn tc bullet) 6 cavity.

But it's on backorder and expected back in stock .... 4-30-2013 !!! What!

Well that sucks...

This is interesting, I was just wondering about ball and cap bp guns and whether you can recharge the caps. Or will the percussion caps get totally mangled during firing?

I have a Pietta 1858...

There is a recipe calling for 45% Alox, 45% Johnsons Paste Wax and 10% mineral spirits. One advantage of Johnsons Paste Wax and Mineral Spirits is that they can be purchased at your local hardware...

Question: I see you have to cast at least once and get the molds hot for these procedures. Is there any detriment to pre-lubing the mold before it gets heated up, ie; before you even turn on your pot?

Frog, thanks for the answer. Everyone else, thanks too for the responses! LOL!

OK, just from a fun point of view, can you color liquid alox or the jpw/lla mixture?

I'm just thinking it would be a fun way to mark what the boolits are, for instance if you load different weight...

Hey, do you add lemi-shine or citric acid to your water/soap mix? Citric acid is supposed to "passivate" brass, meaning that it creates an oxidized layer on the brass and it will resist further...

I just bought 50 lbs from eBay, when I got it, the box was ripped and it was full of 12 pieces of cardboard. I thought I was scammed, but I realized that the carboard was packing ABOVE the ingots,...
