If so, that's what the mono and foundry type I've had looks like...

This year old thread should shed some light for you: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?173206-What-I-ve-learned-having-18-typemetal-samples-analyzed

The only thing I can tell you is that once you warm it up to about 75 or 80 degrees it liquifies.

Wow, I tell ya what, this has been a fascinating thread to read. It ties together a number of things that have been running through my mind for the past year.

I am relatively new to the...

No pics yet. It's gonna take me til early next week to scrape together the money. Just too many irons in too many fires all of a sudden, heh. I think I'm going to trust my gut and take a gamble on...

Howdy folks, I stumbled onto a deal locally, and I may go back for another piece tomorrow, depending. These folks have an older Armsport 80 caliber blackpowder cannon. It looks to be in good,...

Hi Fathersalt, yes I saw your post, I'm glad you saw mine and found it helpful to you.

But you remind me to ask again - does anyone know what these things are really called or used for?

I...

haha yes, that's good stuff at a great price, for sure.



Deepwater, yes, that is actually exactly what I am thinking, and was thinking of suggesting to my customers. Actually I was thinking of...

OK here are the ones comparable to the Large and Small individual pieces of monotype that I had tested. I also included an example of one of the very smallest pieces of type - this one was actually...

Ha, you raise an interesting point, one I forgot to touch on...

The Balto Type, that is one thing I did that may have had an effect between the two tests. I filed one side of the piece of type...

Yes, I know, I was and am a bit perplexed by that - I assume you are talking about the piece of Balto Type. What is also interesting about that piece is that both times the lead checked in at the...

Hi everyone, I figured I should pass on the info I've gathered up to this point in the hopes that it can help anyone else out there. I know there is one fellow on the board who is working on getting...

Ah, I can (maybe) shed some light on this.

I myself have recently been needing some samples analyzed, so I started by asking at a precious metals dealer that I knew had an XRF gun. He's a...

Cool, thank you!

Hey guys, just picked this up locally and can't figure out what it is. The only marking I see is "N-7" on the rotor. Anyone have any idea what this is and what it's worth?

Thanks for looking

Oh heck I have no idea, lol, I just saw the conversation about the temp to totally liquefy and saw my label, I thought maybe Lucas JUST changed their packaging and no one had seen it yet, so I...

Heh, it's not my figure, but it is perhaps my misinterpretation of what it means... after I saw what runfiverun said about melting temps of grease, I made some assumptions...

So after reading yet another Bens Red thread, I decided I would begin gathering ingredients to make some for myself. I got a tube of the Red n Tacky at my local parts store, and right on the front...

$105!? Aw geeze! Now I am kicking myself, lol. I had one of these... heck, I still have two of those little green plastic tubs that catch the cases... never knew what those were for til I just saw...

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I was just about to start a new one but I figure I might as well stick my question here...

Are these babbit ingots? Google doesn't tell me anything about...

The lot number on mine is 827 - what was your lot number?



I don't know about a GSSF ... I like figuring things out for myself heh... even if it drives me nuts...

I think I may just have...

Right, so, I saw a neat old RCBS Primer Arm that I acquired, and it looked like it had a crinkle finish on it. Pretty cool. Then I looked at it more carefully....
...

See that's what I really don't get - this guy DID take good care of his stuff. I got 8-9 sets of dies... RCBS from the early to mid 70's, and most of them looked almost new (aside from some plier...

I like it, and maybe I'll mess around with a few like that, but 6-7k?? Nah, that'll take years, lol



Ha ha no they're not that old - thats per 100. Some of the others were in the 80 cents per...

You know what's funny? I said that to the guy - "yeah they might be a bit old but as long as they weren't out in a shed for 30 years I'm sure they'll be fine." Heh, they might've been out in a shed...
