A shout out for Orisolo. This was my first purchase with him. And it won't be the last. The lead was exactly as described and the service was fast. He sent me a tracking order for the purchase on...

my Foxfire browser just gave me the warning for the first time

Just finished my third lead transaction with Jetsfan. As with the previous two, this purchase was 5 star for get to go. Jetsfan is and probably always has been a straight shooter. Good man to do...

I recently had the same problem with a double cavity Lee. The pins would recess on each cast. I sent the mould back to MidwayUSA and they refunded me cost of the mould and the postage of returning...

The world would be a better place if all vendors, traders, and swappers conducted their business like Jetsfan-24. I just completed my second lead transaction with him and could not be better...

I cast for a .45 acp Lee mold and shoot from a Remington R1 pistol. I tried not sizing and ran a test batch of about 50 bullets. All cycled just fine. I then made up a batch of about 200 or so...

right now I'm inclined to agree with you but there were a couple of steps in the process that I would do differently given another chance so I may give it another go when time permits. Thanks for...

Thanks for the reply Coot. Since I've already ordered the mold, that double cavity will be my first .38 but I doubt my last .38 mold.

Jupiter7, I made some 45-45-10 and tried it on my cast .45s. ...

Thanks for all the input. I just placed my order with Midway for the 158 grain, TL bullet.

My very limited casting experience has been with 200 grain .45s but I want to start casting .38s. The mould I'm looking at is a Lee, double cavity that is described as a 158 Grain Tumble Lube 2...

Blanco, I live in the Dallas area and just worked up my first batch of pan lube. I kept it simple: 1 part petroleum jelly to 1 part Beeswax and a dash of mineral spirits. My first mistake was...

If you like plinking, try Speer's Plinker. It's a 100 grain round nose, copper base bullet and it will fly true. Great little round. I'd load it up with 31 grains of RL-7 and that rascal would...

Thanks Fryboy. That is going to be my first method to try.

Thanks everyone for your responses.

I finished collecting all the supplies I'll need to pan lube. The last item I found was a $10.00 hot plate. If the weather is not too miserable tomorrow...

How did you make your home-made cutter? On some YouTube videos I've watched, it looks like they are able to just poke the bullets out of the cake with the flat end of a pencil.

disregard my question RunfiveRun. I found a sticky that gives excellent instructions on what it is and how to use it.

I've seen that 45-45-10 mentioned before. What exactly is that? And is it a tumble lube or pan lube?

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to answer my question. My tumble lube with LLA came off without a hitch. I had no leading and I shoot fairly soft .45 acp over 4.2 grains of bullseve. The...

I'm new to bullet casting and so far things have gone surprisingly well. The only lubing I've tried is tumble lubing with LLA but I want to try pan lubing. My question is, once I pan lube and...

Jetsfan is a definite straightshooter. I bought 65 pounds of lead. He shipped it the day he received payment and he sent it 2 Day Delivery. It arrived yesterday. I couldn't be more pleased with...
