I’ve had this kit in my Lee pot for years. I had to drill a hole in the plate for the drip feature of these pots. Other than that, it’s been great.

My collator is my kids. They load my CPVC feed tubes and they sometimes pump the handle for me.

I had an extra PID and a thermocouple that wouldn't work for my lead pot so I set this up. I know it's probably silly of me, but I had fun doing it. Makes it easier for me to dial in temps for my...

Who do I believe? My lyman thermometer or my PID? They differ by about 80 degrees.

Finally got my sealed high temp thermocouple today. I took a couple hours this evening and wired up my PID on my lee furnace. So far so good....

What do you mean when you say you could not get satisfactory results? Where the bullets coming out inconsistently?

Just got my star sizer Saturday afternoon to replace my Lyman 45. By the evening, I had sized and lubed through 1 1/2 sticks of BAC lube and sized roughly 750 bullets. With my Lyman 45 it would take...

Is it possible to configure the Hornady bullet feeder to drop cast bullets nose first into the star bullet feeder? I've seen videos of folks making bullet flippers but I think if the bullet feeder...
Hehe. Thanks. I don't care how it looks...only how it works. And now it works great!

soaked it in liver of sulfur a couple times
Lubed it with Mihecs lube oil.

Hey I just wanted to share my recent issues with my .453 200gr swc mold and how I solved it with the hope that it may help some of you. My 4 cavity mold would pretty consistently drop the 4th bullet...

I also get about 85% good lead, 15% trash. I don't save the copper. Too much work for me to try to clean, sort, and store that stuff till there is enough to sell.
