I would love to get the $0.10 a pound stuff, but it's pretty messy melting it all down and tougher to find nowadays. I work over the range berm now and then for bullets, but still have yet to...

I thought for $1 pound for new wheel weights was pretty good so bought all the guy had. They came in the same boxes with the same label as the website link.

Was just wondering if there was any added value due to being sealed still. I could use it up no problem.

Yes, looks like a local sale would be only way to go due to HAZMAT.

I have acquired a couple older but still sealed and in very nice condition Hercules powder canisters. They are both about 6 1/4"X 8" in dimension. The Bullseye has 3 pounds of powder in it and the...

Sometimes if the paper target is shot at freehanging without some sort of a firm backer, the paper will tear in a way that looks like a keyhole, when it actually is not. Was the target hanging free...

I started off by casting lead head jigs for fishing plastic swimbaits. I bought and sold used reloading equipment off local classified ads and in the process aquired various pieces of casting...

Nice work! I especially like the ledge in the back. Been thinking of welding something like that to my pot to warm up lead ingots.
Forum: Cast Boolits
It could be the chamber is tight on the barrel as well. Tooling wear out and sometimes you get a barrel with a chamber on the tighter side versus the looser side.
I have read the XD in 45acp has a design issue that makes it hard to feed SWC bullets. From what I have read the extracting case will hit the ledge of the SWC bullet on the round in the magazine...

Aren't polygonal rifled barrels the bane of lead bullets?? They are the reason guys who want to shoot lead out of Glocks buy aftermarket barrels with cut rifling no?

If I had a bunch of portable bullet traps I could easily take with me when I go to the range I would make what I have last a lifetime!! But as is I am resupplying all the time. Just got a 50 lb...

The advice I got here when I broke mine was to get the mold up to temp. I don't do the hot plate routine, but use the method of filling just one of the cavities for a few tries and then...

Probably not going to be an issue, but why not just clean them and store them that way? You can always size them as needed to avoid any issue with dimensional changes due to rough travel/storage. ...

Lee was very fast to get me a free replacement.....gotta love that. Gonna try out all the tips I got here and report back. My main issue was cold mold and I think oil in the cavities as I was...

I've got a couple cans like that with 700X powder in them still. Been meaning to check the powder and use it up if it's still good. Got them in a used reloading equipment deal some years back.

Looking at their online catalog I see what looks like the entire LEE lineup. I wonder if they make them for Lee?? They sure charge a LOT more to buy direct versus getting a Lee though!! I didn't...
