I don't hunt much anymore, bought the rifle more or less because I always wanted one, and already have 44 and 30-30. I Ordered Redding dies, still looking for the molds, I know I have them somewhere,...

Took an advantage of Marlin's 100.00 rebate and found a 45-70 Gov. for 399.00. Always wanted one, so now was the time. What dies do you recommend, RCBS has the Cowboy Dies, but I'm partial to...

Just scored 3x5gal buckets, barely 100 lb's of lead

Put an order in about a month ago, called last week what's going on. Turns out my order was lost during a storm, received my order (+ plenty of extra lube) yesterday, Thanks guys, I'll be ordering...

Not that I have noticed, I had it hard wired first and used a thermometer in the pot to check, then I installed the plug and got same temps. Temp variation stays in +- 1 degree when up to temp.

Don't know if this one is already here somewhere but, I used to have a "horn" bench jewelers mallet and I really liked it. Can't seem to find one here in US but one could make it pretty easy. Only...

I don't think we ever get 10% chance, more like 40-60 down here. I would never get to smelt if I would listen to weather guys.

I think in Florida they're just re-runs from previous years anyway,...

Antistatic cello-tape should do the trick also. I'm using one of the bags from an old hard-drive, working so far pretty good.

Here's a link for tapes and other antistatic stuff.

This happened in the late 70's in Finland when I was about 15-16, I had gotten a Smith 38spl 6" barrel for my B-day, it did not take long before I realized I could not afford to shoot it so I took...

Yup, just contact him. He'll set you up.

Had a chance to try AM357135A, since it was meant for my CX4 I did not re-size the first patch, just pushed them through 358 lube die to get some speed green on the boolits.

I was shooting off...

I'd be interested in .243, 44mag and if possible 357..... I think Storydude was interested in 308, not sure, but I seem to recall seeing or hearing something, somewhere.

Just drill 3/8 holes, use carriage bolts and wingnuts under the table, easy on easy off.

If I put a cd player under my melting pot and turn it on while I melt, are my bullets "laser cast"

Yup all those, but then I just shelled out 130 bucks to build a few PID's, not to mention the midget oxy/acetylene setup, so I can save more money while casting???? it's all in a perspective, you...

Yup, MB's blue smokes like grazy, I went to the shooting range last night to test some of my boolits.

Lee 358-158-RF boolit / speed green lube / 3.7gr N320 no smoke no leading to speak of, nice...

I saw somebody making the balls out of billiard balls, looked pretty classy, and is big enough for larger hands also

That's the way we planned it, I have a CX4 that I want to try the 35-135A, hence two cavities, we also figured since I don't shoot that much 44's might as well have only one of those in the middle...

Here's to Tom at Accurate Molds. :drinks::drinks:

Just bought my first Accurate molds in brass, communications and delivery were excellent even though I had million questions, and super fast.
...

Today I finally found my problem. Alignment of holes was totally off, I finally took the die out and while the boolit was inside, pushed a straightened fishing hook (didn't have any needles) through...

I use 6"

I forgot to mention, the smaller one's interior dimensions are 18"W x 12" deep the other one has shelves and pyramids to bring the pots and crucibles to different levels, the temperature is...

So happens, I usually smelt in the back yard but, lately "I had to" move to the front per SWMBO's orders. One of the houses on our street just went up for sale and the prospects were not to my wife's...

Has anybody used a ceramic kiln to melt their lead or do you save them for annealing and other stuff. I just like the idea of melting with electricity and I have two of them 2300 deg. f, so I figured...

I just found a water heater thermostat from my parts (trash) basket, slapped it on top of lyman heater uncovered the cord and attached to thermostat, the range is 90-150 degrees, seems to work good.
