Its weird... if i let it sit for awhile and go back to it, changing nothing from before, it will do great at first then get bad. Could it be as I use the press it heats up and thats the difference?...

I get it adjusted and everything is going good for 20-30 boolits then it goes back to a lube blow out. It simply is unexplainable to me.

I am going to start using cast for my .308 and .223 rifles. All I have done in the past is use cast boolits in my pistol reloading. I have never used a gas check so I hoped I could get some advice...

A friend at work gave me this plumbers lead set up. The lead is stamped pure. Two propane tanks (not sure how to refill) and a smelting burner with small melting pot. also one bar of solder.
Not nearly in as good of shape as was first thought. The ejector tube has very deep scratches and the gun has some light surface rust. It looks like a gun kept under a truck seat. It does have...
