A friend was no longer using some casting stuff and gave me one heck of a deal

Saeco mold, 4 cavity .309 /150 gr flat point
H & G handles
Star sizing die with top punch for my sizer
3000+ gas...

Cast up 20 Lbs worth of 500 Gr boolets for the 45-70.

Cast, weighed, sized and gas checked, 350 30cal 200 gr. 150 30cal 220 grain, 200 .45 cal 530 grain and 50 45 cal. 405 grain slugs.

Just cast another batch of the RCBS 405 Gr. 458 Dia. bullets today, and Thank you Sharps4590. This batch dropped out of the mold a lot easier, and just about 1.5 Grs. heavier, with less variance...

Thanks for the responses guys.
This morning I cast up a small pile of .458 / 405 Gr. bullets and just got done weighing them. As expected they all came in heavier than the stated 405 grs, from...

I'm not new to casting and know that a number of variables will affect the final weight of cast slugs. The question I have for you folks is, for accuracy how big a variance in weight is ok? I have...

Thanks for the information on the hoses. I learned to weld with Oxy/Acet years ago and in fact taught it in Tech School for joint service schools at APG Md. for 5 years. That was about 40 years ago,...

Local second hand / junk shop had a 20 lb. plumbers lead pot with furnace and acetylene cylinder with hose. Was asking 70.00. but I was able to get him down to 50.00. I didn't want the tank so I...

I would like to get the info on repair parts /heating element as well. I have 2 of these and one is out of service due to the heating element burned up and the thermostat control burned out. Any...

CED M2, I started with an old one I don't even remember the brand, changed to the CED millinum, and when it became outdated because it would not talk with today's newer and faster computers, My wife...

cast sized and lubed almost 100 RCBS 500 grain .45 cal bullets for the 45-70

loaded up 250 45-70's with some 500 gr Boolets on top of a mild dose of IMR 3031.

Resized /De-Primed and belled the mouth of 400 45-70 cases, and primed about 1/2 of them. Tonight I get to finish priming and stuff then full.

Resized and primed 250 .32 Win Spec cases, reloaded 10 of them with IMR 4198 at .5 grs below the max, to try out today. Then I lubed another couple hundred of the 38-55 slugs for wife's new Sharps...

Cast up 15 lbs of 500 gr .45 slugs, a few hundred .38 cal 195 gr slugs for her 38-55 and a couple hundred .32 cal slugs for her break top revolver and a derringer.

Received 200 pieces of 38/55 new Starline brass, received a set of cowboy dies also in 38/55 and a mold also in 38/55. Got real busy then, casting a few hundred bullets, pan lubing them and finished...

Cleaned guns, cleaned guns, and cleaned guns. Then I finally was able to de-prime / resize some .32 S&W L for my wife's pocket pistol. That little revolver was so gummed up the extractor would not...

de primed, resized, tumbled with SS Pins 60 40/70 SS brass. Its drying now, hope to stuff them full tomorrow for my wife's Rem Rolling Block

I have 2 of the 650's and never saw this thread before. I for one am glad it was brought up once again. Although I have not had any long term serious problems I did pick up on a couple of tricks...

Today I rigged both my Dillon 650's with the primer catch tube that actually captures the dead primers and sends them to a closed container to avoid the constant mess of loose primers bouncing out...

45-70 Shiloh Sharps, 500 Gr

Cast up a couple hundred .40 cal 400 gr slugs. Need to try lubing and loading at as cast dia now. The last batch I sized to .,408 were terrible, going through the target sideways. Older orig...

cleaned up a bit and actually found the top of the bench! Ain't actually found that is quite a while.

Flux outside, and cast on a bench with window fan in front of me sucking from behind me and blowing directly out the open window

62, and I've been casting for 40 or so years, but learned 90% of what little I do know now in the past few years lurking around on this site. Still have a lot to learn and am trying to participate a...
