got about 1300 lbs of range scrap melted so far this week, I'd have to concur with those who said "cover it and let it go". if you get it hot enough, most of those pesky tmj's will pop for ya. ...

I use a modified trailer, with a front-end loader fed hopper, electric motor vibrating a screen, and a blower to remove the rocks and clays.

:-)

depends on what pipes were melted down. you've got "pure", low tin, mid tin, high tin "pure tin", and PURE ZINC, the zinc pipes are very very easy to differentiate, I actually got about 1000...

I got ahold of quite a bit of organ pipe a while back. was in pipe form, so I was able to sort it by physical appearance. you're looking at somewhere between pure lead, and 50+ percent tin. ...

little blocks of rubber, like cut up tires as backstop, or big blocks, in which the bulets are embedded?

I've been told that a very strong saltwater solution will float the little bits out of the...

bought a .45 HP mold from texrebel. it was shipped quickly, and arrived properly packaged. he stated that he hadn't cast with it in years, so I hosed it real good with brake cleaner before I used...

shipped quickly, (although the Post Office was a bit slow, who doesn't expect that).

the press was shipped as described.

I'm happy, and would do it again.

thanks.

GBO = greybeard?

Topper shotgun receiver = handi-rifle receiver?????????????? (the big question here)

I'm goingto look at greybeards now, if I can find it (googling greybeard)

so the topper receivers ARE the same as the handi-rifle, it's just a fitting thing.

is there a way to tell which receiver it is? (sb1 or sb2), or should I just assume that it's the sb1 (I...

back to the original topic.

what do I have to do to put barrels in handgun calibers, and MAYBE low power rifle cartridges (like .223 or 30-30) on the new receiver(not the burned one).

is it...

if I said that it was in a trailer next to the house that caught fire, the stock was lightly charred on one side, and the trigger guard did not completely melt, springs did not lose their temper. ...

hey, we got enough problems with the bull(&*^ around here, please don't blame us for problems we ain't got.

if lead WW are illegal here, there ain't a tire shop in my region that knows it....

u figger that if I "proof" it with a 3.5in magnum (from a remote location :-) and it holds up it would be unsafe with the 2 3/4 it's chambered for? what if I "proofed" it multiple times?

what kind of fitting needs to happen with these? is it just forearm tension etc...? or something bigger?

I can handle the little stuff, and am more than willing to swap firing pins when...

I'm looking at getting into the singleshot rifle game (mostly for $$$$$$$ savings, I really like my bolts and levers).
just picked up a 99% (ding in stock) H&R topper in 12ga, with a 20ga barrel,...

I use woodchips/sawdust (currently on my second box of patmarlins flake flux, good stuff) I mix it with a bit of rendered beef fat. a big handful of flakes, with about 1/2 cup of fat, in my...

I ain't no xpert on steel/iron molds, but looks like an easy cleanup to me (actually, hardly looks rusted at all, looks like mostly age)

I'm also not a fan of 1-2 cavity molds, I like my 5-6...

just received my NOE 22-055 5 cav. I'm afraid to use it, it looks so purty.

first NEW mold I've ever owned. really want to cast a few, but once again, afraid to use it. :-)

thanks.

that's because it's not hot enough.

I cast with pure zinc, and have, in the past, contaminated my lead with zinc. pure zinc makes PURTY boolits, and the contaminated stuff made good plinkers,...

you did better than 87%

take your jackets, wash them off, put them in a 5 gal bucket and take them to your local scrapyard. you should be able to get #3 copper (loose copper) easily, and if you...

run your burner real low, and watch the pot close, as soon as lead starts pooliing in the bottom, slowly increase until the "slush" goes away, when the slush goes away, immediately use your metal...

sale thread for what I've got now is here.

I will be putting each batch on the scale, to ensure that I do not list more of each alloy than I have. listings should be up tomorrow, at which point I'll list these test results on the F/S thread,...
