Taste test.

Actually, it was experience. I know Sheffield makes pewter items, it came from Great Britain. I saw the hallmarks, it was either pewter or silver plate and it didn't have the tarnish...

Anyone know of a good low-cost k-type thermocouple that is flat and sits on the surface of a hotplate? Mine is solid (ceramic? CI?) not the the coil type. I did some searching and saw some flat...

Looks like the same one I use. I have no problem getting lead to melt and the regulator on it makes it easy to keep the heat level where you want it. Sometimes even on low it gets too hot when the...

Correct. Wiped and leak tested as negative.

I recently acquired some decommissioned isotope source housings. These had a radioactive source in them and were used as industrial measure devices. The sources have, of course, been removed and...

I have a digital pull scale with a hook. I can hang things from it to get weight. Small and cheap (china for about $5)

They were closed until the 4th. They shipped that day, but USPS was slow and just delivered today.

I just got my cabine tree tester today and went though a lot of my ww stock. Bullets as well as ingots. My bullets are all about 1 year cast and air cooled. They came in about 10-13 (although this...

Well done! I love visiting thrift stores with my wife. She likes to browse and I get brownie points for going along (always keeping an eye out for pewter or cast iron or ladles or hot plates or...

So mine finally arrived today. Have to say it is worth the money. Well made, very repeatable and easy to use. Works really well on ingots and most of my swc style bullets. Had to flatten my round...

I've got plenty of pewter for now. It stays as is, in my china cabinet as decor....for now :) Thanks for the suggestions all!

Found this piece at a local goodwill along with some other items. 3 pounds for 10.00. Not sure if this piece is worth anything but the rest is fodder. Thoughts?

After all the research I've done on a hardness tester I went with the CabinE Tree. Apparently, it was sold to ST Machining and available at www.cowboybullets.com, albeit by a different name . I...

Awesome! Ordered.

Thanks!

Definitely don't have any birds around (pet or otherwise) as PTFE fumes are toxic to them and can cause death.

I had the same problem using a 6-cavity mould for the first time. I didn't know what was causing them until I realized I was holding the sprue handle with the mould handles it was causing the...

First, thank you to everyone who gave some great ideas. Here is what I ended up doing:

Here is a pic of the before with stuck boolit....

RWP hallmark and a lot of other similar ARMETALE items from Pennsylvania are aluminum alloys made to look like pewter. They are much harder than pewter and you can't bend them.

So I've recently been powder coating my boolits and have had good success with my 9mm. I've run them through a Lee .356 sizing die AFTER they were powder coated and never had a problem. I recently...

Mine arrived today after sending money on the 17th. 6 day turnaround is awesome service and the mold looks great! This is my first 6 cavity mold though and I don't have handles. Will the Lee...

I know I'm a relative "newbie" to the forum and none of you know me from Adam but I'm also a FrogLube convert. Originally used Ballistol and loved it but the smell gave me a headache. Switched to...

I hadn't seen mine yet either until I checked my spam filter. It was sent on 4/5. Just paid it today :(

Correct, COWW is clip on wheel weight, SOWW is stick on wheel weight.

Fe is Iron (in this case indicating steel), Zn is Zinc

Good luck! If it isn't a convection style toaster oven beware of possible hot spots. I've had real good results with HF red, not sure about the white. Pictures will be needed after the fact :)

I did a hundred 9mm with just a tablespoon. I would imagine a couple of thousand easy.
