Duke Nukem and Rbertalotto. You have now gone and made me feel like an insignificant piece of dust. :D

Now this thread has some great setups for casting/reloading and I am stealing a bunch of...

Yes, it is temperature issue. Only heat will cure it. The tang is cast steel and it will break if forced. Heat is your friend in the case that is is taking too much effort to cut the sprue on those...

I am not too fussy about the sides of my pot, so I use my homemade BP boolit lube as flux. I still have some flux I bought from Brownells and that will definately keep the sides clean and nice, if...

Been there, done that on the 6 gang Lee molds. Cast is what they are.

So, what I do now is fill the first two cavities and dump, making as big a puddle as possible to heat up the sprue plate....

There is another great idea I am going to swipe. Excellent!

I cast a lot of balls and some conicals I shoot with BP. I have used stick on wheel weights the flat type, with great success. They are near pure lead, although I do get a lot of smoke when throwing...

I have a Lyman Thermometer that I bought when I bought my initial set up when I started about 4 years ago. I found that with a Lee 20# pot that 700 turned out some nice boolits. Then I got a used...

It's OK to sell porn on Ebay though I guess. That seems to be the jist of it. One amendmant stinks and another gets full support. Seems that is what they are saying. Nice.

Here is a petition regarding the proposed OSHA shipping regs that was paosted on another board and I signed. The more signatures the better, so I am posting a link here too. Let 'em know with a...

Solution is take the heep, I mean Jeep down to the Dodge Dealer and trade off for quad cab 2500 with the new bigger Cummins and it will carry 11k with no sweat. Plus you will still have the truck and...

Great looking set ups you guys have. I have the Lee 20# dripper myself. I found though that if I am ladeling, I stick a block under spout and it build up a small pyramid and quits dripping. ...

You can't beat a good trigger job, but since I don't have a jig, I was afraid of the thing on my 336 cowboy. I did unhook one side of the trigger spring and that helped, but later I got a spring kit...

I just got some buckets from the tire store. No charge, but they weren't the 5 gallon type, they were more of a square shape. I would guess maybe they are about 31/2 or 4 gallon size. Well, I know...

My scheme is this and it works every time so far. I have some tin soldier type molds of cowboys and indians. I cast a bunch out and then when I have the time I take model paints and paint the figures...

RU, I smoke my molds with a propane torch, same for my muffin pan. I have only had to smoke that pan a couple times in 3 years of use. I like the pans ingots better than my ingot mold actually, I...

I make up batches of 1/2 lb beeswax, 1/2 pound mutton tallow, olive oil to suit. I also add a dash of thompsons 1000 bore lube, but only because I like the smell of it. In the winter I add a touch...

I actually use neverseize. I dab it on the alignment pins and the graphite or whatever the lubricant is in neverseize. Stays right there and I seldom ever have to put any more on. I use wooden...

Once again Goatlips has posted an easy to follow method and the pictures are great.:-D

I follow nearly the same method, however, I take my boolits and stick them in an empty plastic tray that...

I separate the stick on wheel weights from the regular clip type and then cast balls and they are plenty soft enough to ram an oversized ball.

The tape smokes pretty good when making ingots...

Thanks pards,
That is some great info there. I think I need to put one of those shot makers on my Christmas list.
I found out today that my local toystore quit handling shot altogether, since they...

Anyone have any input on the Littleton shot maker? Shot prices are skyrocketing in my area. I have been seriously thinking that a shot maker is in my future. I can get plenty of wheel weights and...

Yup, .457 pure lead balls is the way to go. I recently bought some Speer balls at a gunshop and noticed right away that they are somewhat harder than the pure lead I cast. I determined that by the...

I shot a lot of APP. Real BP is not available locally due to restrictions. I liked it for it's lube properties. However it clumps and it bridges in a measure and even in a flask, so you have to make...

Well, the #10s fit the 3 pair of mine really well. The #11s do also. I just use a straight capper and push with that. I do carry a push stick a pard made for me in my gun belt loops and if I see...
