You would only lap an undersized mold. If its brass I am guessing a custom and probably no need. I honestly have never bothered heat cycling any of my molds (And I have many NOE, MP-molds, Accurate...

I am no expert at this but that sounds like allot of zinc to me. Also the melting point of zinc is about 787f so I think your pot was not hot enough. I added about 2% than stirred and fluxed until I...

Congrats to him. It is nice to see the rewards of the skills a father passes to his son and will hopefully someday pass on to his son. I will bet that will be a memory he will never forget.

I was using a Waage pot I normally cast ww plus 2% tin at the setting of 7. That puts me around 700f checked a while ago with a thermometer. I had the pot turned up to 10 (as high as it will go) but...

I don't think your going to find what your looking for. Just like there is no specific language stating that potatos are legal to grow in your yard. There is only language of what you can't grow.

Tonight I was able to play around a little with the method popper was describing with copper sulfate. Everything went pretty much as describe by the people who have tried this. The question I have...

I have read the threads regarding the cu enrichment and going to do a little experimenting of my own. I do have a question however, has anyone that has tried this compared the boolit size compared to...

By the way Mountain Molds are a work of art, here is the actual mold.

One thing though is the Marlins have a notoriously short throat/lead. I have a custom mold from mountain molds that I love. Before you order it I would suggest reading this page written by Glen E....

All my hunting boolits that I cast for my 444 are 50%ww and 50% pure lead with 2% tin added. With a 300 gr GC boolit I have no problem with leading at 2100 FPS. As long as your boolit is big enough I...

I didn't ever test that specific boolit when I had the mold however I did test Mihas 44/444 hp boolit in milk jugs filled with water. I tested it with both straight acww and 50/50 ww/pb ac. I will...

I would like (1) 4cav solid please.

I can tell you from experience that it is most likely the other way around. I believe boolit size or fit is the single most important factor. Years ago we did an experiment at the range I frequented...

Only sissies use moose :mrgreen:

Wow, those boolits look great. I am glad to see the mold get some use.

Enjoy

It wasn't a GC mold but I had Erik remove the bevel base to make a flat base on a 4 cav Lyman mold. He did a fantastic job.

I would also choose heavy over fast. I also like the Lg meplate of the heavier boolit.

Although what you are saying is true for 3-phase it is not true for him. He is using 1 phase 220-240vac.

I apologize for not answering your specific questions and do not know where to purchase outside of the US. My advice was meant to help because many have tried to improve the stock without success....

The modeling clay cleans out pretty easily with some spray type gun scrubber or CLP, I use a toothpick to get the chunks out. That is probably one of the easier parts of the job. If you are worried...

I just dug around the shed and I have some wood flour if either of you would like me to send you some. Here you can see what the constancy looks like. It is very light and fine, even lighter I would...

I was reading this thread from the beginning yesterday and after only reading the first couple of pages some of the discussion was about the possibility of a "liquid paper jacket". It...

You mentioned a flimsy stock so if you are shooting from a rest supporting the forearm glass bedding won't help a great deal. To realize the benefits of bedding you really need a stock capable of...

They are Hogue Ruger Bisley Walnut Cowboy Panels Non-Checkered. I actually only replace the factory grips because the grip screw bushing pulled through but once I got the new ones on the gun I was...

If you are only getting a 1gr deviation from boolit to boolit that you are doing just fine. Keep up the good work and enjoy.

Now say it with me......
