AliExpress...$10 for two, shipping included. Be warned that it can take a few weeks to make its way over on the slow boat from China...that apparently is the "cost" of getting cheaper stuff.

It's a pretty good chance that was what happened. I had the pot cranked up to maximum, and it might've gone straight through from solid to useless. Might need to give it another shot, this time...

More details:

I fired up the pot long enough to empty it out and got this:

The two pieces at the bottom had been...

I don't know if I did something wrong, bought some of the wrong stuff, or what, but after looking at the various options for annealing brass (which I wanted to get into since some of my .30-06 brass...

A while back, my Ruger Mark II was misbehaving. It had gotten dirty enough that ammo wouldn't reliably feed or extract. I picked up an ultrasonic cleaner off of eBay, mixed up 3 quarts of Ed's Red...

I also started with that, but had to buy RCBS shell holders (not a huge expense, at least) to go with it because the Lee shell holders won't fit. The underside of the through-hole is a bit smaller...

Last purchase was a Type 56 (Chinese SKS) with an aftermarket folding/collapsible stock and a scope. A bit of filing on the stock where the magazine hinges into place allows use of detachable...

Just got my first C&R yesterday. From the time the payment hit my bank account to the time the license was put in the mail was about 3.5 weeks.

I almost bought the Bulge Buster yesterday, but a bit of reading indicated that I already had the components I needed: a .40 S&W factory-crimp die and a .401 boolit sizing die. Remove the knob and...

That's what I've been using so far to load for my Garand. Gun shows around here usually have them at $10 for 50 or $90 for 500...that's as low as 18¢ each. That said, I'd like to try casting for it...

Mom needed something done with her knees for a long time...probably starting around her mid-to-late 40s or so. The doctors were loath to do knee replacements at that age, though, out of concern that...

The local Bass Pro had 1 lb. of Universal left when I stopped in today. I've wanted something I could use for both .44 Special and .44 Magnum, so even at ~$35 with tax, I took it. It's still...

I have a bunch of computer motherboards, DIMMs, and other circuit boards available from which I'd like to desolder the chips and have a go at gold recovery. That's beyond the scope of this forum,...

I know it wasn't a screaming deal, but that was more a function of what I was able to find in the time I was there. With more time, the 2-gallon bucket might've been closer to full. How much more...

I asked at the local public gun range what happens to range lead, since they have a table set up at the back where you can pick out range brass for purchase. They have someone sift out and haul away...

I live in a one-bedroom condo and do my loading and casting on the patio, with one of Harbor Freight's $28 workbenches (item #46725 on their website) in the utility closet to hold the press, lead...

Not necessarily. Small touchscreens are available at low cost. I knocked together this temperature controller for controlling beer fermentation:

Would've been nice if I had seen this thread first, as my first batch of cast bullets got shaved when I loaded them last night. They shot OK, but I had to scrape off the shaved bits before they'd...
