I could only find Permatex valve grinding compound near me. It starts at 220 grit and grinds down to 120 grit. Kept twisting the valve in the seat until the sound of the grinding compound almost...

I received the package on 1/11. So now I have everything I need except for some anti seize lube, gloves, and warmer weather.

Thank you for taking the time to post that. I needed the reminder and it came at a perfect time.

I started six years ago. I was watching YouTube and saw a video about reloading and was pretty amazed. I didn't even know that reloading was something you could do. Never even heard anyone talk...

Well it looks like the package was lost. Contacted merchant and it was shipped 1/2. UPS doesn't have it. So now have to wait for merchant to reship it.

Good idea. I'll post back when I cast and let everyone know how it went.

I'm casting 9mm for a carbine. I used casting alloy and my barrel .356. I'll let you know what diameter I get.
Still waiting for my mold. I'll let everyone know what diameter I get. If they cast...

Where do I find it? Home Depot doesn't seem to carry it. Since I've never used it before, how long and how much pressure is needed to polish the surfaces?

I was aware that they drip at the nozzle so I also ordered an ingot mold to catch the drips.
I ordered the Lee TL356-124-TC 9mm Luger, 38 Super, 380 ACP (356 Diameter) 124 Grain Tumble Lube...

Thank you for the information. I actually ordered a 9mm Lee 6 cavity mold last night along with some other things. I received a Lee 20lbs bottom pour pot for Christmas. I hope I get lucky and...

I hope I get lucky; I ordered everything last night before I saw your post. Guess I'll have to see what happens.

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to post here. Your experience has been very helpful. I'm surprised that I received one response let alone so many responses on New Years Eve. So thank you so...

I agree, I've been looking at the 6 cavity molds.

Since this will be the first time casting, I wanted to keep it simple so I'm going to use liquid alox. Once I get the hang of casting, I'll look into powder coating.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I was wondering if I could substitute a different caliber mold as long as it drops a bullet weight listed for 9mm reloading data. It's something I'll consider....
Forum: Cast Boolits
Hmmm, Ok this is something to consider. Thank you for your help. Hope you have a Happy New Year!
Forum: Cast Boolits
Damn, I hope that doesn't happen. The molds are about $50.00 which I know cost less than other brands, but buying something for $50.00 and not being able to use it would be a waste.
Here's another...

I'm sure the answer to my basic question is buried in a thread somewhere but the search engine for the site doesn't return anything. I guess there's an issue with the site? So I apologize if this has...
