Sorry to hear this. I always wanted to tell him how much I enjoyed reading Modern Reloading.

I don't have enough lead to worry about. But if I did, I would recommend my surviving family do a universal background check on the buyer to make sure they will be casting bullets instead of some...

The trick is getting that kind of velocity out of that bullet in a 45 auto and not exceed pressure limits. Hodgdon's web site has data for cfe pistol that would get us into the ballpark and I have...

Loaded up my very first 9mm rounds. CFE Pistol and Berrys .356 115gr rn. Worked up 4.8 - 5.3gr and quit.
5.3 was the business. Once I find more lead, I'll buy a mold for the 45 and cast my first...

The only (meager amount) lead I have is scrap from my own range and I used the HF punches to mark them RS (Range Scrap).
Looking forward to someday being able to use the other letters!

Nice! Wish they had an operation near me.

Relatively new reloader, several years now (compared to some of you, I'm still in reloading 3 corner pants!). I have however, made a lot of rounds on my single stage press and had no problems...

My records say the workup for the 175gr bullet ended up exactly the same way in my stock xd40 with WST. 4 gr was a little light, but cycled. 4.2 was reliable and accurate in my gun.

Hi,
Go over to the alloy section of these forums and there is a lot of information on pewter. It's used in our lead alloys because of it's high tin content. Folks use it in small percentages to...

If the galvanized bolts bother you, you can do this.
I'm no chemist nor am I a pro welder, but when I want to weld on some galvanized pipe I dip the end in HCL to get rid of the zinc.

Thanks ncbearman,
Like Konsole, it was only a very thin layer on the top surface that was exposed to the air during cooling. When my ingots had the golden hue to them, I seem to remember I needed...

Thanks for the picture of the Potter mold!

Hey ncbearman,
Only done this a few times so I have a question. Can you elaborate on what color discolored was? I have had them take on a gold tinge. What were you seeing? Also, what is a...

Instead of making him loaded rounds (which could be problematic, I suppose) you could have him come over and load his own using your equipment and under your supervision. However, this does pose an...

I neglected to mention that I did try a Lee factory crimp die to resolve this issue early on, before I knew I had oversized bullets. What I found was that it swaged the bullet down to where the round...

It sounds like you have tons of expert help, so I dont have anything to add to your procedures or process. The contributors so far all have much more experience than I do. I do have one recent...

Oooo. I want the Fonda Chamber Pot! I can think of some other models that would sell as well!

Some folks would melt down Ben Franklin's chamber pot! :)

I have so little experience at this point, all I can add is a bit of entertainment value. :)

Those are very nice. I hope to cast some that nice someday soon.
Glad RotoMetals came through for you. Being a noob, it helps me (and other newer casters) to know which vendors are reliable and...

I was just having fun :). I know exactly what you all mean. When I read 9.3 talking about not giving people the third degree, that nonsense I put down just popped into my head.
