Not a good thing to do. About 1/2 of my Lyman 525 gr 12 gauge slug mold got dipped with the handles slightly ajar. I got it 98-99% clean. Slight fringe noted on casts after clean up so I stopped...

I just started to search for info on pc 30-30, does your wife's 30-30 happen to be a Marlin micro grooved? Thanks op for starting this thread.

118512Had these for years because they were too big for my 10lb Lee bottom pour. All the Nuc Med stuff that fit into my new Lee 20lb is now in the shape of muffins. They are not dull at all with a...

My first real casting with water dropping got me a Brinell of 11 using lead ignots from the scrap yard. This was measured at my LGS. After that visit I went back to the yard and looked around and...

If you use the shot only for the antimony it has per runfiverun and use 1.6 oz of the tin for every 10 lbs lead
1% tin/ 4% antimony/ 95% lead is equal to a Brinell of 13 on the calculator.
I'm new...

117720Please don't melt me! Oh yes I will!

Snowman, if you do come to Cali to try your rainmaker, send me a message so I won't be caught in the rain trying to make bullets!

I use the BPI exacta roll and the spin doctor in a drill press. The spin doc is to reform previously roll crimped hulls. But I too have roll crimped reloaded fold crimped hulls as well. BPI has info...

Water dropping seems to make sense.

Go to the recycling place to get some lead, find almost 50 lbs of linotype and feel like you found gold!

I bought 10lbs at a scrap yard for .60/lb, 30% of it was Fe and Zn.

Thanks for the info, I've developed a craving for linotype.......................Whatz haappeening?

So far all I have cast with is pure lead or whatever I came away with from the recycling center. I am now using PC for my 45 ACP with soft lead and getting good results. With the info on this forum,...

OK, it's time to see if I've got this right. I have been casting Lee 1 oz slugs and using what appears to be pure lead I get at a recycling center. One time, I was able to get 13 lbs 15 oz of 40% tin...

116226 There are some great looking bullets in this thread. I have just started to powder coat using the shake and bake technique. The loads in this picture were with almost pure lead and the PC...

Too bad I don't know someone with a Ransom Rest and take my shooting out of the equation! I did some reloading by groups according to bullet weight. 200-201, 199-199.9, 198-198.9 using my Dillon 550....

115928Any body have one of these? Good to 968 degrees F, +/- 2.5%

Thanks for the help. I've cast hundreds of Lee 1 oz slugs but now it's time to step up the game. Thanks to this forum, I have begun to PC pure lead using the .452 Lee SWC and had no visible leading...

Here's a pic of a batch I did today. Is there a range of weight that I can reload together and not adversely effect accuracy? Lee 200 gr SWC .452
