Why not just use a ‘washer style’ TC under the nut that screws onto the bottom pour spout on the inside between the inner and outer shells of the pot? By doing that, the only drilling would be on...

Yes, this one went 'very' smoothly. Even my local post office managed to deliver the mold without incident which is a rarity around here... And I was surprised how quickly it arrived.

Received my mold today and it is as beautiful as all of the other brass molds I have received. A work of art. I can't wait to cast and fire them.

How much you want for shipping and handling?

Paid... And elated!

There's a simple solution to that.... one aluminum AND one brass. Of course then you have to second decision to make... should you get one or two of each? Decisions, decisions... of course that...

I'll take one (1) four cavity brass in .359.

Yes, thanks for the "heads up", after all, that's the real reason for threads such as this.

Unfortunately it is very easy.... some of us value our reputation greatly... others are nothing more than a total waste of time.... I know I had actually looked at the .380 he offered.... now I...

You might want to look into granite sand or granite dust. It is something like sand, except the particles are sharp surfaced and tend to pack without moving much. It is sometimes used for walkways...

Yeah... you and me both. OTOH, I'm sure there is a purpose for them to exist... even if their purpose is for no other reason that to be an example to others of what failure is.

Bill,
Glad to see you finally got what you paid for. I know I'm going to jinx myself but so far I haven't been burned.... A couple of times things got a bit testy but everything has always...

Snuffy,

I like those photos of yours. I somehow misplaced the wood handle on my pot and was intending on cobbling together another handle anyway. I think I'm going to try the same thing you did....

Funny you should mention that about the pan. Yesterday I was shopping with the wife at a local Walmart and found a 9X13 cookie sheet for $.92 cents to set my Lee pot into. It is about 1/2 inch...

Hi Robert,

That is pretty much what I'm thinking also. The needle section could be truncated (bottom section of the rod) and would not need to extend very far past its interference. Now I'm...

YES!... I was hoping that is who you were talking about. I knew Mark back when he used to run IHMSA matches. (long time ago) I am now starting to load in bulk and in need of powder without wanting...

With all the talk about dripping pots and valves, it has gotten me to thinking about needle valves used in some of the old carburetors. The needle passed "thru" the orifice to form the seal. ...

Wow,

10 pages of complaints with the BBB. This coming weekend there is a hamfest out there I was considering going to... perhaps if I go to the fest I well swing by there to see if he has a...

Spfd,

By any chance are you talking about Woodshank down in Peru? I need powder... badly.

Back when we used to do valve jobs we had to make sure the valves and the valve seats were slightly different angles to make sure we got a good seal. If we lapped the seat and the valve to the same...

Hi,

If that PM was for me, it never came through.

johnson1942,

I would love to hear anything you have to say about paper patching. I have read just a little about it and it seems like an interesting alternative for someone who wants to keep...

If it were me, I'd believe the PID first. I suppose the easiest way to tell, is to take a reading of the temp of a known alloy and see what temp it slumps at.... then melts at. then you would know...

I have to admitt, the one time I really needed them, they came thru for me. I broke my powder scale. It was my fault when I let something standing up on end on my bench fall over on the scale and...

Hi Tim,

I can tell you what I did that seemed to work for me. I started out with a bunch of Lake City 7.62 brass that I deprimed, cleaned, sized, trimmed, and then deburred and contoured the...
