I use duck decoy strap weight molds. They are easy to store and I just use tin snips to cut pieces into a scale to add to my alloy.

I beleive that the alluminum bottom metal is interfering with the clamping surfaces. The rear action screw is smaller than the front screw, this is why I asked the question on torque. I would feel...

All my fault. In the early eighties I set this rifle up with free floating the barrel a Leupold 3x9 and worked up a load with 150 grain Nosler Partitions and 43 grains of imr 3031. Handy rifle and...

Thank you, Texas by God. I have had complete faith in this rifle. Now it feels like an unfaithful wife. I hope I can correct the issue.

I am looking for the action screw sequence and torque for my remington 660. It has been my go to hunting rifle for forty years. I had to take the action out of the stock and I can not hit the broad...

I use the SFRB from USPS. I tape the corners and fill them with boolits. They stack good and I can write on the top and flap of the box.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Thanks for the replys. I assume when adding taped ingots to the casting pot the tape will act as flux. How about building an ingot mold to fill the inside of the SFRB?

I would like to sell off some lead. I am looking for some shipping options. Small flatrate boxes seems about right. What do other people do?

Thank you for your imput. Powder coating while naked is considered risky busniess around here. I am no longer shooting trap and have plenty of 700x and Green Dot. I saw that load data for the...

Thirty five years ago I used the plans from a Nosler reloading manual. I took the materials list to a lumber yard and had them fill it. I made a terrific loading bench. I added a Pat Marlins doc...

The 30 carbine certanly works on killing feral goats and pigs in the island of Maui. Easy to carry and can handle harsh conditons. And they cost about $50.00 in the mid seventies.

I smelt in an apropriate sized pot and pour into duck decoy strap weights. They are easy to snip to whatever size is needed.
Give Dexter knives a look. Made in the U.S.A. Good quality reasonable cost. I use them in my Sausage Shack and in the kitchen.

Thanks guys, I cleaned parts used green loctite and clamped in my vice. I'll try it tomorrow. I wonder why I am breaking this pin twice?
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I'll do that. I was thinking blue would be easier the next time but it will be easy to get heat on it. Thanks
