Have a guy with Linotype. Selling 10 lbs for $25. Not sure if that's shipped but I doubt it. Too much?

Until recently, all my lead for casting has come from WW and range scrap. When I was doing it about 1e yrs ago, I used to just melt SO and CO WW together, and cast from that. Never had any issues...

Figured I would make a post about these Remington 5 1/2 small pistol primers. I bought some a while back. I was loading some 9mm early last week and used some of the 5 1/2s I bought to test out. I...

My son saw a picture of some of the zombie killer bullets, green with red speckled, green and black, etc. He wants me to make him some in 38 Spl. How do you go about getting that pattern? PC with a...

I just bought another S&W 500 Magnum. Had one 10 years ago and sold it. Wanted to get another. Loaded and cast for it back then. I don't remember seeing a large variation in load data though. Lee...

I have a CZ82 also. I cast some for it years ago. Never any issues. Read in a few places that you shouldn't fire cast bullets through a firearm with polygonal rifling like the CZ82. I only fired 60...

I have some CR and CB I bought from them. Good experience with both so far. I ordered 10 sticks of each. I think that once I run our of the red, what I'm currently using, I'll prob just reorder more...

I used a postal scale today to count up the last batch I cast. Thought about doing it that way before, just wondered what others did or if they counted at all. I had everything weighed and figured in...
Forum: Cast Boolits
My process has been to cast, then go through and sort good vs remelts. Then I would arrange the bullets by type in rows of 10 to know many I made that session. Usually anywhere from 450-1,100 bullets...

I use a $10 Harbor Freight corded drill with my Lyman trimmer. Makes a tedious process go by quick.

Probably just oxidation, atimony, etc.
I bought one last year for a few reasons. Cheap, wanted to have a single action (cowboy looking revolver), just to be used as a plinker, and cheap. I got the 6 1/2 barrel version with adjustable...
Wanting to load some 357 Magnum rounds for use in a Marlin 1894C 357 Mag rifle. Using Bullseye at the low end, 6.2gr per the Lyman Cast Bullet book. Bullet is a 158gr flat nose, from a Lee mold. Only...

I will try a few of the test bullets I made from the current batch. For lubes, I use White Label Lube's Carnauba blue and Carnauba red. As far as water quenching, I do that to all bullets regardless.

I already have some tin in the mix. I scrounged a lot of pewter over the last couple months. I smelted them into small ingots a couple oz each. I have around 25lbs of them. Usually add a couple to a...

I usually leave my 20lb pot mostly full when not in use. Doesn't seem to take long to remelt and I figure it helps prevent rust inside the pot. So it has maybe 17lbs or so of basic range scrap alloy...

I do. Decap, then clean, prep, load, shoot....repeat.
Ordered my first one a couple days ago. Ordered a 330gr 460 double cavity mold for my 45-70. Looking forward to trying it! Will be my first non Lee mold.

Sounds a bit light, but still not terrible. 60lbs is a lot of bullets. My buckets are anywhere from 90-115 lbs. I usually pull out about 20lbs or so of zinc, steel, and misc junk like valve stems...

I have gotten 11 buckets full in the last 5 weeks in my area. 3 of them were free. 2 were $15 each, the others were $20. Even when I was doing this 11-12 years ago I never paid over $20 for a bucket...

Cast was 1 hour old as the instructions state. I bought a 460 arsenal mold and a 459 RCBS sizing die.
