Well here is what I ended up with. This the my first time casting pistol rounds and using klass kote. They turned out pretty good and they fired through my XDM just fine. I have only done fired 16...

Test confirmed my suspicions, muriatic acid bubbled away. Did a test on my known good lead and nothing. When I was done smelting I left the lead in the cast iron pot to cool. I dumped it out today to...

Well as the title might suggest I think that I may have gotten some zinc in my COWW lead. I am not sure thou. I did some searching on here but did not find the exact answer I was interested in. If...

Ok so I went in today and got the process started for the new house. We should have a drawing in 7 to 10 days. I choose not to go above the garage with the man cave but added 10 more feet to the back...

Well do to the design of our house it works out well to put a room off of the back of the garage and utilize that for a butting our patio up to. I will be getting a separate heating and cooling unit...

Wow lots of good advise here thanks guys. I would not smelt in this room due to all the reasons listed before, this would strictly be a bullet casting area. Some place that I can permanently mount my...

Ok so my wife and I are looking to move. We thought we had a house bought recently and that fell through so we have decided to just build. I have only casted lyman 525 deer slugs so far with a dipper...

Has anyone else tried this method with any different epoxies? I am still waiting for my stuff from Midway to show up but I am kinda curious if anyone else is doing this method or mostly the piglet...

Add me please option 1

40-80 and I have a Trade worked out for some COWW thanks much appreciated. I think this is going to work good mixing 50/50.

No I have not tried but from what I am reading it would be much to soft for that. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try it and see what happens. I know one of the key issues with leading is size so if the...

No, not to cheap for that just didn't want to spend a couple hundred bucks to get the lead up to where I need it to be. I have more soft lead than I can use do to where I work. Its free for me to...

Thanks for the help guys I was thinking that the best thing to do is sell or trade it do to it being so expensive to add what I need. I just wanted to confirm that I was right. Ok so if I do trade...

I currently have about 1200#'s of soft sheet lead similar to roofers lead I would guess. From what I have been reading it would be kind of expensive to bring this up to a harder alloy. I will be...

very useful information here. Thanks to everyone.

I'm really interested in if this works for you. I have a lot (1200lbs)of soft sheet lead/roofers lead that I would like to use without having to mix with harder lead maybe just add some tin.

Klass Kote showed up today. I just need my stuff from Midway USA to come in now. Then let the fun (learning) begin.

Well just ordered some Klass Kote epoxy. Going to give this a whirl. I think I am going to try it without the hBN first to try and save a buck or 2. This usually comes back to bit me but we'll see.

I just bought beeswax, STP, and some tranny fluid then I find this. I'm just getting into casting and I can see already that the money I was going to try to save isn't going to happen... Lots of very...

The box was way bigger than I need but the price was right and I figured that I could always expand then. Most of the build is from parts that were going to get tossed out. I have about $20 invested...

Well thanks for all the ideas for this project. Here it is nothing fancy but it seems to works.

Tumbler I made last week. Nothing fancy but it works good. Next project PID for the lee pot. The best part total cost of project Time. $0 Friends in the right places. :)

Like the op I too am looking into casting my own bullets for my CVA accura. I just bought it last year and found that TC shockwaves at 250 grains shoot great out to 200yards. Being me I am way to...
