I have found that if the PC gets shiny for about 10-12 minutes it all appears to be fine.
I found where my bullets slump in my cheap oven, then stay below that.

Oh, and it seems to love .360 round balls too!

I finally got to play some more with this gun. I love it. And some of the stuff I cast with wheel weights and some unknown % alloy have done just fine. The stuff that was powder coated did great....

Should be able to rotate every other ingot to make the lean even, I would think.

I think those imperial bars are what they used to refresh Linotype. High antinomy and tin. I can't seem to find the info I found on it long ago when I found a couple bars of it.

It looks like to me, that the tank is much larger than our pcp tanks. I would assume/guess that would give more shots.
Some of the smaller pcp rifles will give multi shots. Like the Seneca Ealgle...

From what I'm reading, it's not that the barrel is soft and the lead will damage it. It's that the antinomy will cause leading. Then trying to scrub it like a regular powder burner could damage it.

I tried to pm you but your box is full. I'm interested in a lot of 56lb soft lead
Forum: AirGuns
I'm sure that's where I'll end up. But I'm also going to experiment with harder stuff. And some powder coated ones as well.
Forum: AirGuns
Thanks guys. I guess more soft lead is in my future. If I find some good results with the hard stuff, I'll report back

Hello eveyone! I ordered a Seneca Recluse as my first pcp. But, trying to find what people might be casting for the big bore air rifles has been a challenge.
I have ordered a few different pellets...

What a great story! Thanks for sharing and making another grown man choke back a tear.

I'm using a mix of old wheel weights, a little range scrap and linotype. I can't wait for warmer weather to get out and test some rounds.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I just put it on the arbor press and squished a flat spot. Then took it to the sizer and ran it through again to see if it felt different, it did not.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Haha! Very true. But does it make a difference for 9mm like this? Assuming they fly the same as the as cast round.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I have the arbor press set so the handle will stop at the same spot to hopefully be consistent with every nose flatten. I don't think I want all of my rounds to be like that, though I was curious if...
Forum: Cast Boolits
And the worst that'll happen is they don't shoot well and I never do it again lol
Forum: Cast Boolits
I did and they slipped right through the sizer
Forum: Cast Boolits
I was goofing off with my little arbor press and made some flat points out of round points. I'm going to test to see how they shoot eventually, but thought I would ask if anyone has tried things like...

I tested mine by first accidentally melting a few boolits. Now I have it low enough to not melt them and it works great even though I have never put a thermometer in it.

I picked up some lead from the same lady today. I got some of the odd sized pieces. Around 200lbs of it. I think a lot of it was coww.
