I'll take the snap-on tool chest it is on. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.:bigsmyl2:

The you tube video wasn't what I was expecting. It looks like he just purposely barely put the bullet in, and they were jacketed. If I get a squib (crossing my fingers not to), I would expect my...

I hear ya! I used to live in Fresno, but now I'm about an hour away. I have to admit, I don't miss the new years eve blasting away. You can probably find several videos of how Fresno police deal...

I was casting some 38 and 9mm today and dropped a bad bullet back into the pot, and for the first time, got lead splashed on my glasses. It was pretty surprising! I do have lots of historical burns...

I'm jealous. We have BLM land that is generally open for shooting, but it is a good hour drive and then a long hike to get to where I can shoot. It is in the Sierras, so it can be tough totting too...

That is a deal for $1 a pound delivered. Usually, it is 1$ PLUS shipping delivered. If 380auto doesn't end up taking it, I will be second in line.
I hope I don't need to remove the sprew plate screws on my Lee molds! I know, I might need to, but alas, I used cheap HF drill bits and taping bits to do this. I pretty much just used cheap screws...
I will jump on this thread to also add that bushwack is a straight shooter. Purchased some quality lead that was promptly shipped and very well packaged.

I'm jealous! I can't see that opportunity arising for me anytime soon. That would last me a long time, though I would be adding to it to harden it up a bit (until I get my muzzleloader).

I just have to say, I'm always on the lookout for good deals on lead, but this blew me away. Ask and you shall receive. Never thought about asking when I need some; instead I spend time watching...

I'll take a box. Pm being sent. (Do you not want us to use Pay Pal's Friends and family to avoid an additional fee?)

These pots must be all over the place. If I put mine at 7, it is way too hot. Mine will hold at about 750F at 4+. I've almost completed my PID unit, so I'm looking forward to not having to keep...

There is a new group buy that would seem to fit this bill. I'm going for it for my 9mm; check it out....

I would like a 6 Cavity solid Brass @ .358, smooth side (no bevel base), and one set of handles.

This is what I do. I suspect that they have it all wrong, as I don't cast and reload nearly as deadly of ammo as the stuff I keep in my gun by the bed. Is it ironic that a less lethal handload...

I had an Alox bottle that was shipped from Midway that had the bottom completely removed. Of course, Midway, being great, simply sent me a new bottle. But I'm guessing that the bottles don't hold...

This is pretty much what I have, but bought at Wallyworld, and I also put ingots on it to speed up melting when it is time to add to the pot. When I put in on high though, lead was melting on it! ...
Forum: Casting Equipment
This sounds like a good idea. I just simply do as a few others have said, and drill a hole and put a screw in to keep the sprew plate screw from turning. I had to do this because I had the same...

Now this is useful. I've been using my hotplate to heat my molds and ingots, but I had not thought about adding extra space to my heating plate with a steel plate. I generally do not have much...
