Well actually, I'm referring to picture frames that I know will melt. When I started hunting this stuff I grabbed a few of these frames, and can get more but not sure of the tin content

No particular picture frames, just asking, I picked a few up that I knew would melt... not realizing, at the time, they could be pure lead or any mix in between pure tin.

I can run my 9mm for 2$ a box/ 50. Buying bullets easily puts it at least 8$. Bigger bullets cost way more and figure in the trigger pulls and it gets exponentially out of control for my wallet any...

Thanks Larry. I've been thinking about that since 415 am. I knew of over stabilization , and thought of this. I've been thinking about drive shafts spinning, and when there's a problem you slow down...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I'm just a country bumpkin, but I thought that the spin on the bullet was to correct for inconsistencies present in all projectiles. Would think more spin would cancel out more. Want to say more but...

Does anyone know what the Jefferson's cups weigh?

I always scratch stuff with a key, if I can. Not like you can do it in front of the owner, but I have yet to buy something that wouldn't melt like that.

Yes, we can all wait. Safety 1st. A couple weeks and we should be in the clear.
Been waiting on a warm up since it got cold. We all understand.
Thanks for all you do, Kathie.

Amen brother. They can try all they want, but folks like us already have the know-how, and until they figure out how to take that, they are gonna stay on the losing side of this. They may get a few...

About smashing stuff, my ma n pa's neighbor, collects bears, when she heard me and my mom talking about pewter, she came over and interrupted us. What you want with pewter she asked. I'm just telling...

You could really start with the molds and furnace. Or one mold. Make sure it's for you kind of thing. I had to buy one piece@ a time,because I'm a poor man, so I got a mold and Lee dip ladle, used...
Was just thinking, maybe load is too hot. I'm thinking, one of my book loads (start) was way too hot in 40. Your load sounds kinda hot iirc. Been a year since I've loaded any 40 tho.
Just be careful, I had some Lee book loads that were way too hot even under max w 40 and BD. Got lucky and nothing broke, but was scared after examining the brass on a couple test fires.
Let me get home to my load data. I had some great bluedot loads for 40. If I don't forget

Yeah that last post was after I read whole thread. Its seems that sizing the case head, which is solid, is where the resistance is coming from. Its hard to downsize lead. .002 if it's hard, brass...

My catalog says you can't do 9mm. So sorry for last post. That said, I have never saw any that needed done. And seems it's hard cause that mak. Die is smaller. I run my 9mm pretty hard sometimes,...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I didn't read every post, I will but quit that kit ain't for 9mm, there's a taper to the case. Ruins your brass probably

Rarely empty mine Lee 4/20. Nice to have the option to use something other than straight coww's, but that's probably all I'll ever use any way. Keep wanting to cast some pure/ lino to compare or...
