I first started ladle pouring it was ok however was rather slow caused by overpouring, spills, etc. I then graduated to a Lee bottom pour and after a while my Lee bottom pour pot became a Lee...

Been there done that. I would suggest reading the book entitled "The Secret" or you can Netflix that title. Basically, if you can visualize it you can have it. Read the book or see it on Netflix.

In bought an old cement mixer at a garage sale for 40.00 installed an old washing machine motor from a junk yard, bought a V-belt at a NAPA store and a timer at Home Depot. Works like a dream now for...

How about smoking cigars!!!!!

I have a steady supply of around 1500 - 1800 lbs every three months. I would usually clean out the shutes from an indoor shooting range for free. In the past, this indoor shooting range had to hire...

I use "pure" range lead for my 38 and 45 ACP and I just BHN tested a sample and it came up to a 10.4 BHN. It might be pushing it a very little bit but it shoots fine in both firearms. The key is to...

After several attempts I gave up on purchasing the ready to go Bullet Release spray made by Frankford. The shipping to Hawaii is the problem because the can is preasurized. I tried powdered...

Now this is what I call creative!!!!

Remember that reloaders are frugal people. ALWAYS start cheap. You could probably start with a stainless steel pot picked at a recycler. I've used Lee molds for starters, a 4-ring propane turkey...

Like what DukeinMaine said. WATCH OUT FOR THE LEAD VAPORS!!! one breath of that is dangerous.

One of the tricks of the trade is to melt the largest batch as possible. By doing so, you can cast more boolits with uniformity.

I have atleast 5 tons of range lead that I harvest from two indoor shooting ranges that I collected over a 4 year span. The only caution I can say is watch out for the moisture and foremost, watch...

Try spraying WD40

I have been using Jake's purple for number of years now.
I have used it in my 9 mm Glock pistol and even with the octogonal rifling and I find that there is some leading after shooting approximate...

I finally got my answer and I contacted a good friend of mine who is also a chemistry teacher at one of the highest and what he said was a solvent that is found in the boolit lubricant was pretty...

After a couple of months of not resizing bullets I decided to do some sizing and reloasding. I had some bullets that was put away in a airtight ammo can for a couple of months and in it, it had a...

I have been scrounging lead from one particular indoor shooting range that uses a lot of 22s, 38/357, 9mm and 44. I would try to smelt the largest batch possible (500-600 lbs) to get consistency. I...

I have one of those in a Contender with a Burris 7X mounted shooting a 500 grain with Varget powder. The only thing using Varget powder is I would end up with some unburnt granuals. However,...

I voted YES. Now it depends on the type of firearm. If you're shooting say a projectile with a BHN of 22 out of a hot load 357 magnum, I would say yes. Taking the same type of BHN and shooting it...

Bigmike13: Just do what I do, I would give the wife some $$$$$ to go shopping then to the movies and tell her to bring in some dinner from a restaurant. That works for me. the best part is you...

Just be safe and watch out for the tinsel fairy.

I think you paid a little too much. I paid .40 per pound. Here's the deal. Recycler has to pay for the shipping to ship his scraps to a depot on the mainland (I live in Hawaii). the recycler...

Me too. Yesterday, I managed to lug 18 5 gallon pails, filled just 3-4 inches from the top PLUS 10 5 gallon pails of shells. The range lead was mixed with brass and copper jacket and the range...

Take two or three rebars and place them across the a turkey fryer pot (or similar) then place the chunk on top of the rebars and with a torch (like the ones used to burn weeds or like the ones...

It's really worth the trouble, the mess, etc. for $10 and 120 lbs ---that's $.08 per pound. try buying it through a plumbing supplier.
One word of caution---and I've posted this caution on other...
