Docone31, I will check out those YouTube videos. Thanks for the info.

303Guy, Thanks for letting me use your thread for my question.

I am kind of in the same boat. I have several hundred pounds of copper jackets that I have skimmed off while melting down range scrap. I would like to melt them down into ingots but I am not sure how...

OK, this may be way out there but I have to ask. I have a crapload of copper jackets that I have skimmed off the top while melting down indoor range scrap. How hot would the temp have to be to melt...

Before I retired from LE I used to have a reoccurring dream that I was in a shootout and I would make good solid hits on the bad guy but he would never go down. It was like the bullets just didn’t...

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that I could at least start out with copy/printer paper as I have a good supply of it and I am sure that I will waste a lot before I get this figured out. Thanks...

Thanks for the reply. I was just hoping that if you try any different loads or types of paper or bullets that maybe you would keep us posted. I am really kind of lost when it comes to this technique...

I have been thinking about PP'ing for my Ruger SBH and BH in .45 LC for the last couple months but wasn't sure how to go about it. I have been practicing wrapping paper around bullets but am not...

I have seen them go for between .50 and $1.00 each depending on brand and condition. I would think that $2.00 each is a bit high. I have seen new primed .50BMG brass go for between $1.75 and $2.00...
