Yep. This right here.

Google or Bing were of no help? I mean, the specs for those loads are at least 70 years old.

Well, when you consider one grain is one 7 thousandths of a pound, 5 or 10 grains I don't worry about.

I do not shoot precision.

15 seven thousandths of a pound. Just look in your reloading manual and use the closest weight. To answer your question, less Pb, more something else.

This is not how pressure works. Pressure works equally in all directions, and can't, to rephrase a tad, "concentrate" on one point, or, as quoted, on the tip of a bullet.

I need to cast some fishing weights for a dealer, but I am afraid he is gonna give me more lead. I have not melted all the last batch.

This question gets asked almost weekly.

Lead...

Maybe where you are water boils at 220. How far below sea level are you?

How badly are either of you needing the alloy? Is he gathering all the scrap, and are you doing all the melting? Seems like a 50/50 deal in that case. Time, propane, equipment to melt and clean and...

Nananana boo boo;)

He's NOT lazy? Him insulting my wife makes ME the dick?

You used which reloading manual for that?

Then again, if you have a silver dime, and you have read such, toss it in! YOU tell us the results and comparisons of 1 (one) silver dime in your alloy. One dime in twenty pounds of alloy?

why not trust a reloading manual?

Local fire station. Jaws of life. Rookie practice. I've done it. Bring doughnuts.

Is it specfically .44 magnum, or simply .44 cal? Made for roundball or .357 or .41 sabots?

.44 magnum muzzle loader? Or is it .50 caliber using .44 cal sabots?


Edit: I googled, it's not a...

Adding silver seems to be an expensive way to make boolits as compared to pewter.

I would sell the silver to buy other components, if priced appropriately. Otherwise, I would keep the silver....

lotta work with a lotta reward.

Sorry to sound too obvious, but why not ask the previous owner about cast loads he used?

Headspace "problems" are a brass sizing problem, not a "load" problem. Your brass resizing dies need to be adjusted correctly, no matter the load.

Nope, it is ruined. He needs to send his alloy to me for disposal.

Scrape and clean, until the cast iron is shiny. Or, scrape, clean and flux. Take your pick.

This isn't rocket surgery. Flux more, scrape your pot more, or use a new pot for every melt.

Actually, we can't know, since we DO NOT KNOW the composition of your keel metal.

It is as simple as that. All anybody here can do is guess. You have a mystery metal.

It is up to you to have...

Yep. It is ruined. Send it all to me for proper disposal.

Seriously, I will dispose of it.

No. Brass cases are not obsolete. At all. Until these become mainstream, and brass cases have disappeared, no. Not at all. How long will that take, do you think?

1)Yes. 2) Unknown.
