My brother-in-law did it that way for years. When he learned that I was smelting first, then putting clean ingots in my pour pot he got set up to smelt. Smelting is far more efficient to me, but it...

I bought the Lyman 467 top punch and it is really blunting the tips.

Thanks for the tips here. I've only run about 15K through mine and it started leaking last week. I drained it and cleaned it up, but I will try the light tap next time I fire it up.

I have two. They are very good, especially for the price and can be easily up graded. I have one that shoots Poly Predators well, the group can be covered with a dime at 30 yards. I added a trigger...

OK. I'm going after an older Marlin 336, 30-30. The lack of a safety is the indicator that I have the desired model?

I have always wanted a Marlin. Looks like I may be able to budget one in this year, but I've heard things are not going too well with those of recent manufacture.
Who makes the best lever action...

I am looking for two articles from two recent Shotgun News back issues. My 12/1/14 issue has an article "More Than a Plinker Part 3" about making a high accuracy rimfire AR. I would like to read...

OK gents I got it solved with the help of a heat gun. I got the cheapest one from Lowes, $25 Wagner. I found out right away the high setting was too high. The low setting was fine. I brought the base...

I'll look for a heat gun and give it a try. Maybe Lowes has one. If the heat gun starts it melting I may be able to keep running bullets through it. Yes, it's still got a lot of lube in it.

I tried to save money by melting a large stick of Magma lube and pouring it in the star. Everything went well for about 400 boolits then it stopped. Now the lube is not moving. I have a heated base...

This thread inspired me to get a Lee hand press. I've got six other presses, but I think I'm going to like this one too!
I didn't order the priming unit with it, so I'm waiting for that to come in. ...

I bought CZ Scouts from my kids. They will last a life time and can be put into larger stocks if needed as they grow. My daughter and wife both use Scouts in the original stock. My son grew up and I...

I like the Lee C430-310-RF. I've killed deer and varmints with it. It puts critters down hard from my Handi Rifle.

Praying for you and your families....

OK. Sounds like it would be slower that the propane set up. I was just looking at a more efficient set up. I've got a lot of WWs to clean up.

I've been using a propane burner and cooking pot for smelting. Has anyone tried using an electric cook top? How did it work? or not?

I've been loading 9mm for $34/K, 3.4 cents per round for a long time. Got components when primers were $95 per 5K. Using American Select bought in 8# cans and 125 grain cast boolits. The whole family...

Just got a call for Magma today. They are shipping my MC tomorrow. It only took three weeks. Needless to say I'm looking forward to it!

I drove over to Bayou Bullets last Thursday and picked up a bottle. I've shot Bayou Bullets a few times over the last year and found them to shoot well with little smoke. I was glad to learn that...

finishman, How troublesome is it to move the pot back and forth?

Thanks. I'm holding on to my RCBS pot! I've got several HP molds.

I run bevel base 9mm from Lymans 147 grain mold and 125 grain flat base from a Lee mold. I see no difference for USPSA or Steel Challenge. I just order a Master Caster last week. They told me that...

Called Magma. They suggested getting the stand for the pot with mold guides for $125. I'll wait and see how the MC system works and go from there.

I've got a MC on order, 6 weeks out. Is there a way to use it to fill standard hand held molds like Lee 6 cavity, Lyman, Michec etc.? Is anyone doing this? Any mods that need to be made?
Thanks,
