It seems to me that mounting a bin under the press will be simpler and higher capacity.

I have enough, now I can be picky. Of course now I've got a taste for pewter so I'll buy some pieces just to keep.

One of the round rods is marked OXWELD No. 25M bronze. The sticks that may be silver solder don't have any markings (they are 1/16" x 1/8" in cross section as AZBronco mentioned). It doesn't look...

I don't think they are stained glass leading (my wife used to do stained glass). Silver solder seems more likely, though I can't find any markings on them. I'll try to look in better light.

The solder box was $5. I also got a 10# jar of fishing weights for $1.

I bought a box with 7 pounds of solder, and it also had a bunch of these metal sticks. Any idea what they are?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180720/fa25795137997aedb77affb9ef8254f0.jpg

Found at an estate sale. Nice heavy dish. "Fecit VCM" "Made in Portugal". Part of a total haul of 6.25 pounds for $15.

I may just keep the Stiefe vase and...

Would this work with boolits cast from the Lee C324-175-1R mold? If not, what are some molds it would work with?

At rotometals you are looking at $20/lb. I feel like I did ok if I get it for $5/lb, good at $3/lb, and great at anything less than that.

Very nice. I finally got rid of my old cases a few months ago, and now I wish I had them back. I just put together an Arduino based PID and ended up buying an aluminum box.

I just want to say Kathie was great doing business with. Fifty pounds of range lead arrived in no time. I look forward to casting with it this weekend.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

When decapping cases on my Hornady LNL Classic, all too often the primer pops out of the back instead of into the primer bin. I designed this replacement for the primer arm to try to prevent it. I...

Tin snips cut through these, and the YouTuber I saw was casting bullets with his. I'll see if I can find the video again.

Based on a youtube video I took apart a worn out pool vacuum head, similar to this:

I extracted these weights (about 2.25 pounds):

Any idea what the alloy probably is? It...

A lot of the fine details you see in some of the internet examples (including the hallmark) are pretty well worn away on this one, and there's a nice dent/hole on the other side. So while lots of...

As of now, that pitcher is 2/3rds (by weight) of my entire pewter collection . But I probably will get the known pewter to "just melting" and drop in a piece of the pitcher to make sure it melts at...

My guesses aren't very good. It's only 3 pounds 7 ounces. Combined with a couple of other pieces I got 4.5 pounds for $20, which isn't terrible (assuming I melt the pitcher)

It's about a foot tall. My guess is 8 pounds, but I don't know how good my guesses are yet.

I found this pitcher at a thrift store today and took a chance on whether it was pewter and also on the weight ( I'm away from home and away from a scale today). It bends, thunks, and passes the...

These are my first pewter finds from a local Salvation Army shop. $1.49 each, and together they weigh 14.2 oz.

Makes sense.

Why would you use CFE (copper fouling eraser) with lead bullets?
