To be clear, both bricks shipped for $64, or $64 per brick, $128 for both?
Don't mean to sound dumb, just wanted to be sure. :)

Oh man, I missed out here.
Let me know if this one somehow comes back on the market.

Yep. That was the issue. Figured it out after I hit “post”.
Thanks, guys.

Hi all, been a long time since I posted...life, job, blah blah blah.
Anyway, I'm getting to a point where I want to get back on track to casting boolits. I've been casting roundballs for my...

Plus, us black powder guys really prize pure lead for our frontstuffers. The pile of sheeting lead I got is now all made into ingots, and once I settle on a ball size for my flintlock, I'll turn a...

I got some sheeting in the same manner you described. Very nice lead. Mine was glued to sheet rock initially, so there was some leftovers still affixed and had to burn off when I melted it into...

If you do, shoot me a pm when you are going. I always enjoy meeting folks from various forums there if I can. Parking is a few bucks (2-3 dollars, if I remember right), and if you have a 4wd it's...

Kempton would be the closest town if you want to hit google maps. It'd be a solid 1hr+ drive north and somewhat west from Exton/West Chester. If it helps justify the trip, Cabela's is about 20-25 min...

The only really bummer to buying them online like that is that you can't hand-pick the flints you want. I happen to live a very short ride from Dixon's in PA, so I can go hand-select flints there...

I can't play it and keep my composure completely, and I lost my lab almost 4 years ago. But.....he got it all spot-on. Makes me really want another pup, actually, even though my current knucklehead...

This one will break you down, just to warn you, but it seems fitting.
It's called "Labrador" by Walt Gabbard. It will make sense to most who have had dogs, but if you have or have had a lab in...

I'd call him and ask. I bet he'll do what you're after, if he has the equipment for it. He made my buddy's 35 Newton on a borrowed reamer. I forget how that deal worked, but somehow a reamer was...

Wow, could have written this post myself.
I lost my 12 yr, 11 month old yellow lab on Halloween 2011. We had a baby on the way at the time, and my daughter was born one week after Molly (our lab)...

I bought a dozen gun flints from them. Great pricing, fast shipping.
They grind them a bit to put flats on them for the jaws on the cock to get a good purchase. That looks kinda ugly, but works...

I had JES do a 30-06 to 35 Whelen rebore for me. Very good work and excellent turn around time.
I would give him a call directly. You won't get an answer when you call. You have to leave him a...

Thanks everyone.
I actually recast them. I was working through my pile of sheet lead and I let the pan cool a bit after finishing a batch, then put the ingots in and fired the burner back up. They...

I don't have a powder coat oven, lol, but I do have a MAPP torch, I guess careful use of that would do the same as dragonrider suggested. MAPP is hot, so I'd have to be careful, but it makes sense...

I've been working my way through several hundred pounds of xray room sheeting, melting/cleaning/fluxing and then pouring into ingots. I'm probably better than 3/4 of the way through the stuff, and so...

Buddy of mine who happens to be a plumber took a scrap of pipe with the right internal diameter and chamfered the edge, then threaded/capped the opposite end. Works great, it will punch through 6-8...

I just got H110 at the Cabela's here in PA (I live 3 miles from it, lol). They have had more powder lately...the last couple years, things were lean.
Prices are ok to high, never really great...

He got all he could, and it might be all that's left. He'll keep an eye out for more and see if he can get more, but it might be all gone. The mill he works at changed up how they do bearings, and...

Got some babbitt today. I had thought it was worn bearings, but instead, it's 5lb ingots.

Yep, I've found my limiting factor is now my pot.
