I bought one so large like Bruce said it doesn't have to be used full blast. I figured I buy one and be done. It would suck to buy a small burner and then have to buy a second time. One and done.

I'll check with my uncle who is a scrapper and see what I can find. I wasn't trying to cut corners and cheap out. Just wondering if it would be safe.
To much heat and molten lead to risk spending...

Rallying stuff to smelt some lead that I have acquired.
I hope the 500,000 BTU weed burner:twisted: I just picked up will melt the lead.
My plan is to use a cut propane tank and some scrap...

your cat finds empty brass regularly and bats it around like a toy.

Mine seems to run like a champ. Only fill 5 tubes which where the first 5 I have used it with. Faster than by hand and no issues.

Lyman 375 grain.
Next time I cast I'll try to get the mold hotter. Need to see about getting some tin.

Thanks bnagerjim! I didn't think about portability. If the Cabine is 6 to 1 speed wise over the Lee then the Cabine is worth it right there. I watched some videos on Yotube and didn't pay attention...

I am wondering what the opinion of the Castboolit members is for easy of use and accuracy between the Lee Hardness Tester Kit and the Cabine Tree Tester.
Is the Cabine Tree worth the extra money?...

I haven't gotten that far in the process yet. I purchased an old Lyman 45 lube sizer. Not sure if it is capable of sizing and lubing bullets of this size. If not I'll have to get another lube sizer....

Thanks Teddy! Those are for the S&W 500 my wife got me as a birthday present! Best wife ever.
That was me looking for something in 30/30. I got side tracked on that project and need to get moving...

I live outside of a Buckhannon.
I need to measure the 500 to see if they are close in size. Need to find some large riffle primers for them. My dies just came with the mold so I haven't had a...

Finally got around to casting my first boolits. They are not prefect so will probably will end up back in the pot. These are the best 10 out of my first 40 attempts ever at casting. Using a single...

I bought my first gun at some point after turning 21.
Glock 17

The 1/4"x3' piece my friend ordered for my was $6.
I thought the $30 from Brownells was a bit excessive.

New to reloading with about 1,500 rounds loaded so far. No squibs yet but I am sure it happens in the beginning so I thought maybe I should get a brass rod to toss in the range bag. Brownells sells...

I see some smelting and casting in your future!

The .22lr pistols have been cleaned and lubed really well and put away.
9mm is easy to get now and using the press doesn't cost much more then 22.
Glock every time.
Hi Points are hit or miss from my experience of their reliability. Multiple friends of mine have went the cheaper route and got a Hi Point to end up buying a Glock down the road.

I've got 1,500lbs of lead:) Just need a few more items to get the casting process started!
Finding 23 lens of Unique around here will be a challenge. Only sitting on 3+ lbs and 2 lbs of Blue Dot.
