Same here.

Had me scratching my head and double checking everything before i realized i was short stroking on the downward pull just last weekend.

Used to when i started out. Not anymore. Waste of time and i never saw any difference between quenching WW lead and not quenching it.

Another vote for the garage. Easier to clean with the shop-vac too.

I used to water quench all my boolits, which, btw are all range scrap sourced. Never saw any difference in accuracy, leading etc so i stopped. Was just an extra step for no noticable gain in my...

Bought a couple of those shiny ones when i started. Nothing would get em out. Ended up using needle nose pliers to peel away the muffin pan sides. Darn things were welded in. Dummy me never even...

It will be well worth the wait when it arrives.

I'd lube those up and shoot em in a heartbeat.

Another vote for deer skin gloves when casting, welders gloves when smelting.

Using prefluxed lead bought online in ingot form, i had clogging problems. When i started melting my own and double fluxing really, really well, my clogging problems went away.

I also never flux...

Mine go into friends old bullet boxes they saved for me. Xtreme, Bear Creek etc. Makes stacking 10k to 15k of boolits easy in the garage shelves.

Mine go onto the top of a cold pot as it is heating up. Never seen a flash, just plenty of smoke from the lube and powder.

Amazing how many boolits you can find on the ground at the range for the...

Where's the "like" button?

Fun vid. Thanks for posting.

Sitting with spout a little below shoulder height. Scoliois keeps me from standing in one spot for very long else my back begins to hurt like heck before long. Might make a difference too that i...

I know, old post but here's my stuff anyways.

Ladle on left fills about 1 muffin mold each time. The spoon with slots is used for getting all the **** out before fluxing. The flat bottom one is...

I'm gonna go on record here and say you'll use more electricity by casting in shorter sessions. Add up the multiple times you'll be heating the pot, compared to just casting in longer sessions.

In...

I still use only sawdust/Pat Marlins flake. Tried wax and didn't seem to get the melt clean enough to my liking. Flux twice with sawdust while smelting and nothing but clean lead goes in the bottom...

700-750 measured with a thermometer, casting in a garage with little to no windage works for me. Range scrap and mostly aluminum molds until i broke out the brass one this weekend.

Started casting this weekend with my first Mihec Brass 4 banger. Weight was definitely an issue at first until i started alternating hands, going about 5 fills with one hand before switching over to...

I wish them the best of luck as i was waiting to hear concrete info about a run.

Finally gave up and bought a loaded Star direct from Magma in person. No hard feelings at all, just couldn't wait...

That is exactly what i did. It is cheap enough that if you get out, you're not out a ton of cash, yet you can cast, tumble lube and size a ton of boolits w/o too much effort. If you have the time and...

That's exactly what i am doing. Will be in Az next week for a shoot and have everything already lined up with Magma to stop by and pick one up minus the collator. Shovel handle, boolit feeder,...

Buyers responsibility to get the funds to the seller.

Sellers responsibility to get the item to the buyer.

It is as simple as that. On receiving lead from private sellers, i bought ingotized...

I was going to reply but forgot what the topic was.






j/k.

Really on the fence here and could use some simple advice.

Little background may help too. Been casting since last year, 99% .452 range lead boolits used for USPSA. Have been tumble lubing with...
