Two boxes of very well packed COWW showed up within a couple days of ordering them from Old Fogey. I suspect he had them out the door before my MO showed up in his mailbox. Old Fogey has earned my...

Thanks for the input guys. It is appreciated.

I have just acquired a new S&W model 69 in 44 mag. I also own an older Model 29. Throats on the 69 are just under .430 and the 29 runs .432.

I am about to order up a new Accurate mold. Are...

In the late '70's I collected wheel weights by the ton (literally) to build my sailboat keel.

Paid $15 to $20 for very full 5 gal buckets which would yield 200# or so of ingots. A 6300# keel...

I have a 7000# sailboat keel attached to my sailboat ... mostly made up of wheel weights and linotype. I am afraid if I remove it, the boat may develop a stability problem.

It would be difficult to find an environment so packed with willful ignorance on so many levels as that found in your average gun store.

I am curious about the value of using dished versus flat punchs in the Star Lubesizer.

Does the dished punch have real utility in setting gas checks or is this just a solution in search of a...

Being a relative newbee to casting I have experience with only two lubes - LBT Blue and Magma. Of the two, I have found the LBT easier to use in my Star lubesizer (with heater & air).

My question...

Does anyone know how to contact the makers of bullshop sprue plate lube.

The address I have is bullshop@wildak.net. Unfortunately, my messages are bouncing back.

Appreciate the help

Thank you gentlemen! You have helped this newbie along a great deal.

Thank you!

How is it used? Applied cold or when molds are brought up to temp?

The little stick of material provided with new LBT molds - how is it used?

What is the hull material?

If wood, than you will generally have a bolted on lead or cast iron keel. Fiberglass can be either internal or external ballast. If external than you can easily scrape...

The Hammond Game Getter works very, very well. I have them in 7-08, 270 Win, 7MM RM & a custom one they did for me in 338-06 IMP. Quiet, accurate with a lot of grouse getting power.

Mine is great.

Operator error?

Thank you all for your ideas. I am new to casting and this forum has been a terrific resource for me!

Is anyone aware of a mold which is set up to make bullets for slugging barrels, cylinders, etc.

Would be cool to find one with a series of single cavities - say a six cavity to be used for casting...

Thank you all very much for your input. This site has been a great help in bringing me up to speed.

Have a great holiday season guys!

I can see how that would work. It would funnel bullets down on top of each other. Is damage to bullets only going to occur in my mind?

Several of the voices want to know...

Being a newbie to this pursuit, I am just full of (mostly dumb) questions. While dropping bullets out of the mold into a water quench, do you run any risk of mold damage from the occasional splashes...
