Cartridge brass is called yellow brass. It must be a big difference for some reason.

Today I went to the scrap yard to sell the scrap listed below:
Fired brass primers- 19 lbs- $1.90 per lb. $36.00
Empty scrap Brass- 25 lbs- $ .75 per lb. $18.75
Zinc- ...

I shoot a lot so I have to size a lot of bullets. I love casting but sizing is a chore. I tried many different things ( short of adding a motor) to make this task easier. The shovel handle helped but...

Can anyone tell me where I can have a bullet cherry made?

I just cast my 100,000 bullet with my Saeco 4 cavity #068 200Gr SWCBB mold. It is still dropping perfect bullets just like when it was new. I am on my way to the next 100,000. Who says bullet...

Went to the scrap yard in Milwaukee today to turn in aluminum cans and asked how much they paid for wheel weights and zinc. They pay .30 cents a lb. for ww and .10 cents for zinc. He said lead...

Most wave solder machines used 63/37 solder. All company's had to change to lead free solder about two years ago. Europe was the first to change. They outlawed the import of anything with lead based...

I melted almost 2000 lbs of alloy last year with mine but kept each batch to about 100 lbs. I am sure it could even handle more.

I don't think I can sell them for $8 a Pound so I still would like to know what they are.

I was given some 1lb bars that are some type of lead or alloy. They are all from National Lead Co. and are marked 111 or 211. Does anyone know what these are?

I melt 50 lbs of wheel weights with clips, then take the cilps off and add 7 lbs of linotype and one bar of 63/37 solder. It makes 50 lbs of alloy very close to want is called #2. I shoot at...

Yes, loosen the bolt but it still might be a little bit tight. You might have to tap it out with a hammer and a punch.

I use Cabela's case lube on the bullets first. A couple of light pumps is all that is needed to lube 500 bullets. It contains isopropyl alcohol and lanolin. It will not harm the bullets and does not...

After the jackets float to the top be sure to flux it well. It will help you get the most lead out of the jackets and the scrap yard will pay more for the jackets if they are pretty much lead free.

A long time ago I learned to have only one powder can on the reloading bench at a time. That can is for the powder that you have in the measure. When you fill the measure place the can on the bench...

We don't have that problem in Wisconsin, but it gets a little cold in Janurary. I wonder if frozen lube works well.

4 grains of unique is a light load. If the load shoots well and functions good that is what is important. Published data is not always what will work best.

Just call and ask him. The original 200 Gr. SWC was a #68. He will tell you what that mold number is now.

I went to the scrap yard today. Lead is up. Clean soft lead that was .30 cents a pound in April is now .50 cents a pound.

I guess after 35 years of bullet casting you can still learn something new. I have a mold that I will try it on. It will sure beat having to beat the *#@%& out of it to get the bullets to fall out. I...

I have a STI Trubor in 38 Super. It is a race gun built on a 1911 frame. I have put about 5000 rds. thru it so far. I use a Saeco 145 gr. round nose sized at .356 dia. The load is 7.9 grs of Accurate...

I have loaded about 5000 wolf large and small pistol primers without any problems. All were done with an RCBS rockchucker. My freind has loaded an equal amount on two Dillon 1000"s with the same good...

A few years ago I bought a used MEC 650. It did not work well and I live only about 35 miles from the factory so on a vacation day I went there to see what they could do. The service guy came out to...
