I wish someone would make a 7/8oz shotgun slug mold...that was accurate, and on par with the Lyman 525-grain sabot slug.

The Forster and Lee Key slugs are OK...but can be hit or miss.

Being a...

You just roll the freshly-poured/made shot into a bucket of fabric softener?!

Really?

Am I hearing this correctly? (No sarcasm intended).

Passing-on the residue to the unsuspecting public is bad...ghetto as heck!

Rethink this.

It looks bad if someone sees you, and is even worst if you are OK with doing this to your fellow...

NO TOX meaning non-toxic?

And are you saying that the Sierra antifreeze is a good non-toxic brand?

And lastly, I heard that you WANT the coolant to stay hot/warm in order to not shock the lead...

Me and a bud are going to make some shot this weekend.

I was placed in charge of getting the coolant.

I have an Auto Zone down the street, and was wondering what the best coolant to purchase...

Someone told me to take a look at the debacle this thread has become. I was hesitant (because I said I would not), but did so.

This is definitely not what I intended a new reloader to see when he...

What load did you finally settle on for the Lyman 525-grainer, Morrisammo?

I also read the tip about adding a fabric softener to the tumbling media...but I was not too happy with it. I experimented with cutting it in strips, but they got all mangled-up in the media, and...

Try some corn media with Dillons polish for that super shiny look.

Some high power precision shooters polish their brass (literally) for better chamber/brass contact, and extraction. Some even...

I am using my shotgun for multi-gun matches.

If I zero the "low recol" slug at 25 yards (POA is POI), and then try to hit a 75-yard target...it is waaaay high.

And if I zero the "low recoil"...

Cool.

I made a similar lampworking bench for my wife, but it has a monstrous fan to ensure no fumes are being breathed in.

By the way, the fan that comes with the vent IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO KEEP...

I am using a smoothbore Remmmy 870P, and I also experimented with "reduced recoil" Lyman slugs.

The end result?

Pthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

I am using:

Lyman 525-grain "in hull" slugs...

Dillon XL650 (.45 ACP, .357 mag, 10mm, .223/5.56).

But don't cut the thermocouple wire too short, as there are other benefits to this added length.

It's Friday, and I just got back home from a crazy work day in Campbell.

Here is something else you can do to keep the heat down:

1) Plug the pot directly to the household 110v outlet, and melt the lead.
2) Once the lead has been melted...THEN plug the pot into your...

Get something larger.

To the rest of the readers interested, my buddy just finished picking-up a few pounds of corn cob and walnut media for our group.

Gun case?

Cool idea. I love it. :)

As for what to use to fasten down the parts:

For the barrier strip and SSR, just drill a few hole in the plastic case and screw them down. (Make sure the...

Here's my initial take on the OP's question:
