Thanks for the replies.
I ordered some TC's (exposed type) with connectors from Amazon. I think I'll try to cast one in a bullet first.
I am curious how you spot weld the two wires together...

Actually I'm using HiTek and trying to improve my process. I'm transitioning from a full size oven to a mid size convection toaster oven and I'm over cooking the bullets. Coating is curing fine but...

I guessing that was a plain unshielded thermocouple since it just had the two wires and a bead (spot-welded junction). I was afraid the lead may short out the TC and prevent it from reading...

Wanting to insert a TC into a bullet to monitor bullet temps in oven. What type TC are you guys using? I assume it is the "sheathed" type and not one with an exposed junction?
Do you just...

Getting ready to print the wall extender this afternoon. Instructions say no support req'd but that looks like an awfully long unsupported area at the bottom?? I'm thinking it may need some minimal...

I had the bright idea to buy some 90 gr jacketed hollow points to load some screaming 9mm. Those things were so short I couldn't get enough neck tension to hang onto them with "thin walled brass". ...
You might try walnut too. It won't cut as well as glass beads but may leave a more polished surface, if you're looking for bling.

Used a wood splitter. Had to climb over a bunch of junk in the garage to get to it. Not sure whether it split it or just ripped it into pieces. They're ugly and sharp but they'll fit in the pot...

I have a block of lead roughly the size of a SFRB. Any easy way to get it into my 20# pot? I've tried a band saw, not sure I'd live long enough to complete a cut. Wacked it a couple of times with...
SOLVED!
I like the possibilities with a drill press. Never thought of using one to center things up.
Duh, never thought to use the RN. Tried it and was still slightly marking the bullet. ...
