Are you new to casting?
Have a good Day.

Ohio Rusty, Yes, I do agree, especially with new members, but it isn't about the fees.

Obviously, there is no way to know what you have by your description alone as there is more than one low temp casting alloy.
I would investigate melt temp and freeze temp and if there is a slushy...

GOPHERLAKE, I sent you a PM

Let's back up the bus a little bit.
from your other comments, I am assuming you have never 'any' cast a boolit yet.

what level of accuracy are you looking for?

One reason to use GCs is accuracy. Typically, pistol shooters are not looking for the same accuracy as rifle shooters. A GC makes a perfect base,...

i can't tell ya what your 17 alloy is, but i can tell ya i surely wouldn't use that hard alloy with "black powder equivalent 45-70" i would just set that alloy aside for future use when you need a...

I don't know, that sounds too easy ;)

what is the groove diameter of your barrel?

They should be about .510
They should go in with some difficulty, because you need to cut grooves in the Lead, which should be pure lead and not a centerfire bullet alloy.

I don't eat or drink while reloading or casting. But I'm not gonna tell someone else what to do or what not to do. I like having a reason to take a coffee break, wash the hands, and have a snack.

I'd buy new.
a Ruger made Marlin is top of my list.
Then comes a Henry.
That's my 2¢

Does Bullshop have a current website?

Me too.
Geico for more than a decade, no claims, Last year they raised rates more than 30%. I checked around before I sent them a check, seems everyone went up. If they raise it again, I will look...

I've found that pure lead has a bit more valve than COWW alloy, at least the shooters of Holy Black in my area, think so. So when I've had pure lead excess to my needs, I swap with them. All that...

looks like lots of fun

I use RTV silicone high temp gasket adhesive. That way it's removable in future, if needed.

Last night, I went to the movie "Civil War"
I hope I get raptured outta here before that happens.

I've never done Beef fat, But I started rendering Schmaltz in a pressure cooker, instead of fry pan or soup pot.

I bought a checkering tool kit, to try and teach myself checkering...I learned it wasn't my thing. The tools were 18 Tpi...kind of the 'average' checkering on a rifle stock.
I hope that helps.
