I know, I know. I have already spent a small fortune on NOE dies, handles, RCBS Pro Melt, Dutch oven, molds, safety gear, etc.... not to mention the Hi Tek coating and equipment. I never expect a...

Thanks very much! I am certainly eager to learn this very cool hobby. It definitely promotes a connection to how the early colonial folks lived and obtained our freedom from Britain. Sure, I could...

I did buy the Lee hardness tool for when I do produce a bullet. The bullets will be for shooting .45 ACP in 1911’s and then 9mm for CZ’s pistols. Not going to worry about rifle projectiles yet....

Will do and thank you. Very excited as I have invested in all of the equipment (and safety gear) to melt lead.

Every time I try to post an image, I get a message that it failed to download. Must be something simple that I am doing wrong as a I go through the correct steps, and no go.

As a newb with his first collection of lead bars and lead flashing from a roofer, I need to begin my journey in casting with a melting session to create ingots for bullets to be shot in modern...

I just spoke with RCBS customer service as I inquired about the RCBS Pro Melt II availablility. I was told that it went through a redesign and will be available in one month. That is very good news...
Forum: Casting Equipment
Anybody know why there is no availability of the Pro Melt II at this point in time? MidwayUSA and the other retailers state that it is out of stock, no backorder. I wonder if RCBS found a defect in...
Well, I placed my first ever order for molds. Used the NOE 20% discount to buy the aluminum 5 cavity .452 for .45 ACP and the same in 9mm. Two mold handles, thermometer with block probe, the push die...
Yep, just got the email yesterday. I will be buying the molds for Hi Tek boolets: the 5 cavity .452 round nose for my Les Baer Premier II .45 ACP. Also considering the 2 cavity brass as I keep...
I’ll go ahead and order a set of Mould handles to get in The Club. Perhaps Al will let me in on the secret handshake. ;)
Well, I double checked to see if my account t is active on the NOE website and it is indeed (though I have not ordered anything yet). I have not gotten any emails regarding a July 4th sale. How about...
Well, that’s comforting! Funny as I reached that point with Inline Fabrication. Really exceptional products.
Anybody know if NOE molds usually has a July 4th sale? Being new to casting and acquiring the proper equipment, I will be investing in NOE products. Thanks for the feedback.

I, too, am tiring of the buckets that I am getting from tire shops. I pay $20 per 5 gallon bucket, but half or more of the bucket is zinc and steel. I think it is getting to the tipping point of just...

Great feedback. I am quite aware that many of the burner bodies available are flimsy and dangerous. Metal legs that are thin and flexible, so that has been a major part of my section that I did not...

I am about to purchase a propane burner to melt lead in a Dutch oven. My question is this: Should I look for a burner that is the jet type or the pan type that has many holes for the flame? Not sure...

I went ahead and placed the order from Brownells last night. At $85.99 and free shipping with their promo code, I could not pass it up. Many thanks for the feedback that made the difference for me.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Wow! If the RCBS is accurate when cross checked with your A&D laboratory balance, then it must be good. Thanks!
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Hey folks, I am considering a beam scale as I am still getting into reloading and this looks like the top offering from RCBS. About $85 with free shipping from Brownells right now. Anybody have one...
