I hear you about selling. We bought about 25 years ago, several of us pitched in to buy 5 tons at $7.00 per 25 lbs. I was shocked to see what it's selling for now.

What should I use for a mixing rate with Wheel weights, one pound of the 111 to 10 pounds WW? I'm new to usin anything other than WW.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
No they don't but they do feel light for pure lead.

I have always used WW for pistol bullets wit very good results. I just started trying .30 rifle bullets and find it very hard to keep wrinkles out. A few weeks ago an older gentleman gave about 100...

Moly has been around for quite some time. It was used by the military first and I could be wrong but think it was pre WWII.
We use a thread lube in the machinery shop we call moly b because it...

Not a good idea to shoot lead in a gas gun like an AR type. The lube and other debris will stop up the tube. I haven't shot AR types with cast but have known others that have. They ALL reccommend...

When I cast I have a five gallon bucket full of water sitting beside me. For ease of use I inttalled a stopper at the bottom of the bucket. I cut the lid out and lay an old rag/towel whatever with...

I thought the stick on wheel weights were softer than clip on!

The lead shot in the Star works but I found that the end of a toothpick shoved in and broke off works too and is easier to get out!

Thanks, I'll move along with the testing if we ever get caught up at work, I finish my current project, delay my next project ect, ect. It really suck getting old because the time just seems to...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
The color being as dark as it is suggests it has Moly in it and it is VERY hard and must be heated to be used. I've had bullets lubed with it sitting in 110 degree weather and it doesn't come off. ...

It's a solid stick, wrapped in a silver pack with a black section with the words "MIRROT-LUBE". It has a picture of a revolver right under that. Lube itself is very dark, actually black. I use it...

No advertising, just paid 50cents a stick for this stuff and was looking for just what I said INFORMATION.
Couldn't find much online and yes I've been casting for a long time. I'm a competitive...
