part timer,

I'm gearing up to cast .45 boolits for the next few seasons of Bulleye
and could really put 100lbs to great use;)

Thanks for sharing your good fortune.

Mike and all of the other posters,

It turns out our local WW Graingers is only about 2 miles from the indoor range where I do winter Bullseye league.
They will have a 40 bag of 14/20 media ready...

dolang and SHiloh,

It is a rotary tumbler. As it turns out 200 of the .45acp probably fill it about 1/3 full.
Since I've got them bagged up in that amount already I decided to go with 200 cases...

I have several hundred .45 acp brass that I would love to tumble in a small rock tumbler that I have on hand. The tumbler is about 7.5" in diameter and 4" deep with a total volume of about 70 ounces....

The interior is almost exactly 4" wide as well as deep.

Hugh

Add me to the list!

I would go for 25 lbs if not more if its composition pans out.

Hugh

I believe that matches and road flares have an oxygen providing compound as one of their ingredients. You would be amazed how quickly a huge number of materials would combust when mixed with a good...

I emailed already but have not received a reply yet.

*****Dan just got through to me all is well:)

and I have been there several times but the web page doesn't seem to give any information on how to pay;)
Am I missing a link on their page?

Probably I keep missing something on their web page but I haven't figured out how Dan and Tina wish to receive funds for orders. Does one send a Postal mony order to their Alaskan address? I only...

In my boodk, there has been enough positive feedback to warrant going with the Pro 4-20 for now. I will keep a drip catcher large enough to catch the entire pot contents under the bottom pour spout...

The process does appear to work. Follow the link below.

Gardening stores sell 90% sulfur pretty inexpensively.

Lurch,

Just the information I was lookig for. Thanks so much!!!!!

Hugh

Lurch,

Could you do us a huge favor and throw up a link to a specific relay that looks pretty ideal. I would also love one to specific PID contoller as well.

Thanks a ton for great...

Evan,

Which specific PID would you recommend for this conversion? Link appreciated:)
I agree that the relay takes pretty much all of the wear and tear and is cheap to replace.

Best Regards,
...

Would one of you current owners of a Lee Pro4-20 melter give me a reasonably accurate measurement of the depth of the melting pot? I have located a source of precision thermomters locally and want...

Does the bottom pour apparatus of the Pro4-20 prevent the easy use of muffin sized ingots? We're talking about ~2.5" diameter by ~1.5" deep ingots.

Thanks again for all of the excellent...

PM sent:)

So is there any problems using the Pro4-20 to ladle certain molds? Does the bottom pour apparatus get in the way of the ladle?

Thanks so much for all of the feedback!

After watching this forum from the sidelines for several months, I've decided to take the plunge and begin casting my own boolits for my Springfield Armory 1911acp. At this point I've collected...

As is the small amount of tin in wheel weights.

Hugh

Jim,

Do you add any tin to the 50:50 mix for the 45acp?

Hugh

I really don't know about the tin but the document implys that antimony will not be removed by the process. Even if all of the tin was removed from wheel weights, adding 2% more tin after "cleaning"...

Arcticbreeze,

How much sulfur did you use of the whole operation? How much lead were you able to retrieve from the original 40 lb.?
It would be useful to develop some rules of thumb so as to not...

Hiram,

As I have no direct experience with this process, please be carefull in your experiments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There may be a bit of water locked up in the powder and you really don't want a...
