Where did you all find the springs? What length did you use?

I have about 60 pounds of what seems like pure lead from a shower pan liner. Unfortunately I am on the East coast.

Boil the mold blocks in 50/50 TSP (from Home Depot in the paint aisle) and water. Boil for 10 minutes. Discard the TSP and boil for another ten in plain water. That should remove all of the oil. ...

It takes 2 o-rings which you will have to purchase too. Buy extra. I just did the same thing to my 45. Wow! what a difference.

Maven do you have any links to specific articles?

Members of the Cast Bullet Assoc receive a discount. Great stuff and no heater needed.

I have heard that you should wait 2 weeks before using bullets you have cast because they continue to harden. Has anyone heard this? If so can I at least load the bullets or should they sit for 2...

I cast at 800 to 825 with my Lyman molds and things are fine, frosty but fine. I found that new Lyman molds had oil that did not come off with break cleaner but needed almost 2 hours of casting...

Thanks for all of your responses. I do have the Lyman cast bullet handbook, but haven't read it since last year. I will have to look at it again.

I have soft lead from a shower pan but I do...

I bought 2 of the extended sprue plates from Gussy. They work great. I am easily able to open them by hand when the mold is at temp. I have 2 sets of the locking mold hanldes from Buffalo Arms and...

I am fairly new to casting. I have just casted for my fourth session last night for 2 new calibers, 45-70 (45 300 FN) and 8mm (323470 AV). I have a sporterized 98K and a Marlin 1895 new in the past...

What is a good source of .010 copper? I read some where it is available at a hobby store. Anyone know?

I got the brass ring out but it is mangled. Will have to look at the new O-ring system as you suggest.

I am boiling it as we speak. The pressure nut is out. The brass ring is stuck

it was late and i was frustrated. looks like i installed the brass ring under the pressure nut and now the brass ring is stuck at the bottom. my problem was the whole stick was forced up around the...

Anyone have a manual for the Lyman 45. I had it working just fine but when I added a stick of lube I can't get it to work. The last stick of lube was the same as this one. Any help would be...

I have a tumble lube bullet and I am wondering what will happen if instead of tumble lubing I run it thru a Lyman 45. Will this work?

I prefer the voodoo lube to the sticky LLA, so i was...

The first addition can be obtained for the price of membership in the Cast Bullet Association. I highly recommend joing that organization. A much more comprehensive second edition is available for...

Ok, then. I thought they were not shootable. Thanks for the feedback.

I will only be shooting Max 100 yds at this time.

These are some bullets from my first session. I bet I threw 90 minutes worth of casting back into the pot. The SWC look wrinkled to me. The longer rounds... is this frosted?

I just ran the...

Great advice. I will try to fire some of the wrinkled bullets. I did throw half back though[smilie=b:

I was making bullets for a .38. .357 and for a 7.5 x 55 K31. I will be using the k31...

I see. Thanks for the pic. Frosting has everything to do with color and not "texture". I will try to post a pic of my bullets later tonight. Thanks everyone.

What I assumed was frosting had more of a smeared appearance than a galvanized appearance. That's why I was asking for pictures. Seems the pics weren't needed since you all describe things so well....

I assume this is on the bullet. What does a white frost on the bullet signify?
