Yes, Bill, that's what I was trying to say without stepping on any toes. I have a hard time believing that someone would read 20 posts in order to hopefully find a post. I don't know about you but,...

Thanks, BB. I would hate to see all of that info vanish into the ethers!

I have gotten a '404 error' on this site for the last couple of months. Any word on this?

What the heck are you guys doing with something you never used? Did you guys buy a used Lubrasizer and that thing came with it? I bought mine well used and didn't get one - where do I...
Forum: Casting Equipment
Yea, let common sense be my guide, right? I just want to have all my ducks in a row for when the day comes that I feel like I can do something at the pot - heck, it's second hand and brand new after...

Thank-you too, Beagle. I guess I'll have to measure where this is supposed to fit in and reason out how far the ram needs for travel in order to seat the GC.
Thanks again,

Thanks for the answer, MT. I'll steer clear until I have need for it.
Again, thanks!

Hey there, folks.
As you can see, I'm not the most prolific of posters and I haven't been here in some time. This is all due to a few serious health and intractable pain issues. So, you get...

Every time I see the price for a heater for the Lubrasizer (I'm only talking Lyman here - no trials on RCBS) I about have a fit. I have a plan for us all. Find a clothing iron - yea, what's that -...

Hey Bret, I'm with Nate1778 as for experience so I have one more question. Regarding the difficulty with beginners and six cavity molds do we get around it if we only use two or three of the six...

I posted a 'Free' ad in the Shopper looking for a lead melter of 20# capacity. I had a guy call with the stand and burner but no connector hose. He said that this was a plumbers pot and one ear of...
Forum: Casting Equipment
Well, I failed at all attemts and with a good light down into the pot I could see that the thing is terribly corroded and pitted. I found the offer online from Lee to rebuild the valve for $8. I...
Forum: Casting Equipment
Thanks for the diagram, Max. That helps a lot. As for the ladle, I don't have a ladle or a pot big enough or hot enough for one. I bought this melter with a Lubrisizer and 300# of WW ingots for...
Forum: Casting Equipment
This thing is more screwed up than I thought. I removed the rod and heated the nozzle with a MAPP torch. The larger chunk around the throat came right out but I could not get anything through the...
Forum: Casting Equipment
I'd try air cooling first, TM. Set up a fan to wash the ingots with a continuous flow of moving air. It's a no-mess and pretty effective cooling solution. Think of some internal combustion engines...
Forum: Casting Equipment
Thanks, all. To answer a few questions, I let it heat for 30-35 minutes. As it heated up I could tell that there was crud in lead which I blamed on the ingots and before I discovered the massive...
Forum: Casting Equipment
I decided to do my first pouring session on Saturdy with a fairly old Lee pot (10#'er, I'd guess) that I bought a couple of months ago. I noted that there was a bit of lead in the bottom and thought...
No, no oversight, Mooman. At least not on their part. It was on mine. I forgot to add the manufacturers name (Alliant) to Unique. And, yes, there are quite a few powders between GD and Unique. ...
I've determined by the threads that Unique is at or near the burn rate of Green Dot but why doesn't it show up on the tables? Same with Varget. I've never used either one but I'm just starting with...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
OK, I think I get it now. It's another tool to be used as needed depending on the circumstances. And, BPCR Bill, you said, If yer boolits are too big, lubrisizing is the way to go. If they're too...

Boy, I put that one in my 'watch' list. Too weird to be believeable and if he gets his price I'm sacrificing my $50 (*/ -) 452-200, 6 cavity - LOL!

Being new to this interesting bit of insanity (that would be a compliment) I'm confused at when you would size a bullet and when you would shot it as-cast. Can you folks help me out witout...
