I've had an idea rattling around in my gourd for a while and wanted to get your guys' take on it. With the current trend of banning lead in hunting rounds (I live in Texas so I doubt that'll be...

If it's a pellet and not a BB it shouldn't be a problem, a BB might even do it depending on the fps and if the snake is wearing a helmet or not.

I'll give it a shot, the parts aren't too expensive so I won't be out too much cash if it doesn't work.

Hey guys, I have a Rossi R46112 .357 revolver, when I was out shooting the yoke assembly screw popped out and I couldn't find it again. The issue is that the part is back ordered seemingly...

Very bizarre and interesting design, being able to experiment with strange ideas is the best part of this hobby.

You could always paper patch it.

My only warning is that if you have to use them you have the potential of being made out as a nutjob looking for an opportunity to test them. The legal and political climate around the whole thing is...

I can attest to the Liquid Lube holding up, I live in central Texas with no AC in my garage. I store my lubed slugs in mason jars in there and the lube stays on with no sign of any melting.

Fantastic, I wish I lived a little more rural. I'm a country boy living the suburban lifestyle so I miss being able to nature watch from my own back porch.

Well there's a couple of ways, molds like you said but some people drip lead into water to make pellets. The latter can be dangerous/uneven if you aren't experienced with it but I would check out...

I'll agree with most everyone else here, if you're worried about chemical exposure, and with my naturalistic tendencies I do as well, something like a lanolin/alcohol mix would work well. Anything...

Ah this is genius! Simple too! I'll definitely do this for each of my bullet styles! Thanks!

Hey guys, I like to experiment with different bullet designs, each a little different in size and where their crimp groove is located. The issue is when I go to adjust the height of the seating die I...

I'm sure once it cools down here in Texas I'll be able to reload and cast more so my lead use will go up, but for now I've got a good amount of raw material for how much I load and shoot.

Hmm it's definitely possible, I know when I pour tin into ingot form when it's a little too hot it crystallizes and can get that crackly nature.

Ha, I guess I can't argue with the math. I'm definitely not going to resist a good opportunity for lead when it arises, I'm just not pumping out as many rounds as some folks yet.

I cast mostly .358 but I also cast some .32 for a friend's Nagant revolver, I use a simple 50/50 mix of wheel weight/pure lead with a dash of tin thrown in for my pistol rounds. For the most part I...

Finally got around to melting down the 80lbs of lead I picked up. I'll have to mix some of it with wheel weights for pistol rounds but now I've got more lead than I know what to do with....

These fishermen just don't understand the value of their lead, it's much better in your hands.

It's good to see I'm not the only one having issues, I enjoy Lee molds, they're a cheap way to experiment with different weights and bullet designs but they've been pretty hit or miss in quality....

I'm still a spry youth without much lead flowing through my blood yet. I'm 24, 25? I have a hard time keeping track, maybe I do have too much lead poisoning...

Bought myself a 140gn. 358 mold from Lee, never had a problem with their molds, great for the price but this one came real loose. Of course I didn't notice until I was pouring and one half of the...

I'm a pretty young guy and have only been doing this for a little over a year but I spent a few months reading this site and others before starting considering the dangers involved. I have had other...

BLL is fantastic and easy to make, especially for a moron like me. I love the convenience and ease of tumble lubing but I'm tempted to make some Ben's Red because I love the process almost as much as...

I'm still working pretty small scale in my melting and casting with about 50# in my stockpile. Melting down dirty lead into ingots is one of my favorite parts of the process so seeing these has my...
