Thanks, that's what I was wondering

I was kinda thinking XRF scan, but this small of a batch I didn't think it paid.

Ingots slightly warm, pencil test 3B, if it dosent Harden from here that's 20:1, if that sounds right.

I melted my small collection of lead pipe solder joints down. How could I get a rough idea of tin to lead mix? I do have the pencils but not sure what hardness to ratio I'm looking at.

This helps! Also keep the cool stories coming

You guys/gals have helped me find other shells I was having difficulty finding. This time I'm hoping someone can help me locat a large pun gun shell.

I've been happy with remington, works best with my setup

I'd really like to get my hands one on, for my cartridge collection. Just a replica would be awesome. I did some googling but the only one I found, he is out on deployment. Even if someone here could...

Thanks guys

I'm looking for someone that could print me a simple item.

I know we've been thorough this before, but what have you found to to be the best method after swaging the bullets?

What do you mean by that?

380, 9, 40, 45, 38, 357 all lee dies with LNL here.

I want say I calculated around 7# gun, 1250 fps, 29 gr powder and what ever weight the ones I cast came in at. Now I haven't cronoed yet, just going off the data I found. I hope mine figures are...

How do you go about washing it off? Do you graphite afterwards?

My little bit of messing around with them, I got them to cycle Stoger 2000 semi auto (Bellini M2 stepchild), but had problems with double feeds. I want to say it was a 7/8 @ 1200fps.

Thanks to know about those sites now. I see track of wolf carries the 1 buck I'll need.
Super thanks goes to JoseBob for helping me out on this project.

Your right, most of the larger stuff I've cut open do mic. undersized. Also the quality of shot between manufactures really varies alot! I've come to appreciate Remington shot as it seems to be the...

More awesome info! Thanks RMc

I'll get some pictures up when the project comes a little closer together

JoseBob, PM sent
RMc, Thank you for the info! I was so proud when I found "dust", but darn it now I see there is one called "fine dust". I may have to do some sifting/sorting. I caught onto the idea...

Center shot is correct. 0000 (4/0) buck is .375-.38", the harder(ist) to find 00000 (5/0) is .395". I know I can order some loaded shells, but at that expense I might as well buy the molds and this...

Just wondering who here casts for both of these, 4 ought, and 5 ought. I'm working on a shot display (not to load), to take to hunter safety classes and reaching out for a hand. I need around 75...

I like it, great idea.

For the love of you shoulder, these calculate out at 73 ft/lb recoil.
