Before you start all of this have you found a mold? And you know you "have" to use a steel mold to cast zinc with correct? Anything else, aluminum, brass, the zinc just acts as a solder and welds the...

Are these like the yellow one in the video except a different color? If so I`d like one.

I was thinking of that but what if you dumped the bullets while hot out of the tray in water. (reminds me of the days i used non-stick Aluminum foil before i discovered parchment paper).

Well I would imagine you are talking about for baking bullets for powder coating?

I have had this same dilemma, had this idea but have not done it yet. On a 6.5mm gas checked bullet the base where...

I can remember my Dad using that to reload shotgun shells with but that was in the 80`s. I`m wondering if Hercules and Alliant formula`s are the same on the powder? That would be my first concern. If...

Well I hog hunt here in Texas about twice a month. Most shots are within 60 yards and I usually take a head shot. i shoot a 450 Bushmaster with a RCBS 45-300-FN sized down to .452 on WW`s. This year...

Your 20:1 ratio would be 1lb Tin to 20 lbs lead, 4.76% Tin, 95.2% Lead, 6.4 Hardness.

Now 20:1 with that Pewter will give you 4.38% Tin, 0.33% Antimony, .02% Copper, 95.35 Lead, 6.6 Hardness.

Check Youtube for "Dima Prok" Gas Check maker, it may be under "The Reloader`s Network". It`s a 1-step maker. They run $135. That`s probably the route I`m going. I have been looking for a old...

Well you have to look at it this way (maybe). What are you going to do with a 10mm? Are you really going to hunt with it or is it just going to be for punching paper and to look pretty? I have for...

Well my Nephew got me hung up on shooting a 300 Blackout when we go hog hunting, he runs suppressed. I usually run a cast, 150g,FN. About 9 months I got tired of having to chase down Hogs and went...

All i use is Armor All Wash & Wax in my wet tumbler, then a dehydrator. In the summertime a towel and the driveway works.

You have to realize most of this stuff was made back in the 60`s-70`s and before. People have this stuff for the collector value. You won`t ever see much at a Thrift store unless it gets scratched or...

25 lbs of soft lead goes for that much? I`m not charging enough for what i have.

When I started powder coating about 5 years ago i tried HF once. Tried to get it to stick and cover 2-3 different ways and had no luck. I went to a local Powder coated here in town and he guided me...

Well here lately I have been running CCI 350`s cause i can`t find any 300`s locally. I haven`t really noticed any change pressure wise. I haven`t seen what difference on a chrony yet.

There is one Salvage Yard here in Austin that has a XRF Gun. About a year ago I asked them to scan a piece of unknown lead alloy for me and they did. They charged me $25. Since then I have been...

Indoor Range I use to go sell their used brass and even had issues with people picking up their own brass. Me and the range officer got into it one day over me picking up my own brass one day to the...

Well in your 405g mold for your 45-70 a zinc bullet will drop about 245g but you are along the lines of why I started casting with it. i have a 450 Bushmaster.

@Winger Ed

That`s what I cast with Zinc is a .308 bullet. I use a 230g mold and it drops@ 142g Zinc bullet. I use this in my M1A. And speaking of zinc eating thru like a production Pot lining??? I...

I started saving all my Zinc about a year ago from my wheel weight clean-ups. About 4 months ago I started casting some with Zinc. You have to ladle cast cause the Zinc will eat thru a lining on a...

Yard sales is usually where i find all my Pewter at cheap. If there is any kind of shop or garage i can usually ask and find old rolls of solder really cheap.

You put "loaded" rounds in a wet tumbler?

I have heard guys talk in other forums that they do not run loaded ammo no longer than 15 minutes after loaded in a dry media tumbler. They do this to...

I think all of your Cardinals have come to Texas. The weather is warmer here and in my neighborhood we all have a competition on who can have the biggest bird feeder. I was the Champion till last...

Still have the 45acp brass? If so I`d like it.

Just mix your own lube. Liquid lanolin to Alcohol. I`m working on the same bottle I mixed last year.
