I have been on list for Mark X a year or so also.

I thought I would add this link. What interested me the most were the tabs at the top for each core along with corresponding pictures. I have at least one of every container listed and the pictures...

Yep, I got 36 of those big ones Boss.
What's the average alloy mix and BHN of this stuff?

Whew I'm tired. Total weight came to 2600 lbs @ .75. Half is the big ones that look like a sawed off bowling pin. I'm gonna categorize this as a score.
Thanks for the tips guys.

Really weird, I just had an opportunity fall in my lap. 1000lbs of isocores.
He asked initially .75/lb.
what do y'all think and what are average going prices.
Thanks

I'm at a loss on this guys. This an alloy I smelted and mixed up of 50/50 COWW/Pure Lead and added pure Sn to bring it to around 2%. I made it up in roughly 400lb batches and have roughly 2,000 lbs...

I think you may be right shad. The only thing dirty usually is the stem of my thermometer. Never bother to clean it. :dung_hits_fan::
My spoon is nasty also but I kinda disregard it. Not like its in...

Well after much experimentation with my fluxing procedure I seem to be back to square one.
I will stop using plywood sawdust per your recommendations, if no other reason it's not getting the job...

Alan, thanks. the tinsel fairy did indeed rumble in my pot when I began to stir tonight. I immediately backed off and let it dry a bit before continuing. Funny, when stuff like that happens I...

I was looking thru this thread and it seems sawdust is their primary flux skipping wax altogether.

Idea hit me last night and I followed thru today. I went to home depot and asked for some sawdust out of the filter for the plywood ripping saw. This sawdust has an incredibly fine particle size...

A fully loaded and automated Mark X ~ $6500 vs. Mark 8 Master Caster ~ $11,500. Roughly the same production capability. But thats almost two Mark Xs for the price of one Mark 8. Take into account...

I copied this build and I couldnt be happier. Ive had 600lbs of linotype on the top of this table and experienced almost no deflection.
Enough room to debone an entire side of beef. I love the...

What is the consensus on the alloy of these things?
Thanks

Yeah we experimented with one mold that seemed to dropthe easiest. I could not find a window of opportunity with this mold. Try to drop it early the ingot fractures and casts of fragments ranging...

I'm really happy with my setup. I must make a confession.
Imagine this....you've got 400 lbs of fluxed 2% tin bullet perfect alloy ready.

Thought I would post some pictures of tonight's festivities.

I have sent Mike a PM and email. Derek I sent you an email, and spoke with you on the phone today. Just for backup I want to post here also.
Put me down for a Mark X, fully loaded, 220V.
Thanks ...

Nvm, i found it. Thanks

Really sorry for having to post this but I simply cant find the thread on ballisticast machines that are being made. The post talks about the sale of ballisticast also.
Thanks

I would switch your powders to a faster burning powder. I like bullseye.
The .451 sizing is probably hurting a bit also. Unless you have slugged your barrel and know it is "tight", I would...

Yep good company. Fast shipping and service. I stumbled upon them over internet searching for anywhere that takes paypal for reloading gear. Very rare combo.

With the imperfections occuring across different mold makes and mold materials, I would start to question my alloy.
Possibly some zinc snuck into your alloy?
Just a guess.

Just wanted to share the link.
