tested a few samples from my smelting session today. Used my new Lee tester which is not really user friendly. I plan on mounting the microscope part on some kind of jig to stabilize it. Anywho I...

I have a lot of OLD solder. Some of it is acid core and some is rosin core. They are not marked as percentages like 50-50 or 60-40. When it is added to molten lead it sputters and gurgles like the...

was wondering if Zn WW are pure or some kind of ally.

I have some clip on wheel weights - how can I tell if they are pure zinc or a zinc alloy. Thanks in advance.

Blake,

I am not familliar with the tc maxi. I have 2 50 cal. smoke poles, both 1 in 48 and both shoot very well. The boolit is a Lee R.E.A.L. I use 80-90 grains of FFF. The mold works fine and is...

I loaded and shot some loads Sunday. Was not happy with results. I used imr 4895 with dracon filler. 28,29, and 30 gr. loads. OAL was 3.095 with Lee factory crimp. If yiu have a load that works good...

these are light grey in color, have a symbel looks like an egg and a half moon, weight is in oz. and gram. They cut with side cutters.

Are these pure lead?

Mark

Thanks Von Gruff.

Forgot to mention I will be using gas checks and runing them thru a lee .311 sizer. Also 2 coats of alox tumble lube.

No problem with fit. The samples I tried were .311 with...

i have cast for pistol and rifle mostly using all ww. Just got a ranch dog 30 cal 168 gr. for my savage 110 30-06. Got 2 doz. of these on a swap and they worked really well. Now I want to cast for...

welcome to the art of boolit making. I got a mihec mold back in the day when he was just starting. that 45 hp is a piece of art. I started on $15 single cav. rifle molds by lee. read up lementing....

welcome to the college of boolit knowledge. Nice cooking set up. I assume you are using wood not charcoal. If you can burn a nice size fire close you can add coals in small amounts when needed...

the 155 in my savage 110 30-06 works great. Slug your barrel to get a good fit. .311 with gas check, 28 gr. imr 4895 with dracon filler. fps should be around 1850.

If hunting bigger game like deer...

Did a swap for 25 ot the ranch dogs. Results are as follows- Loaded 5 diff.loads of imr 4894 from 28-32gr.

Now remember these groups are only 2 or3 shots. At 25 yds 28,29,30 were basicly one...

Can not find a mold that meets my needs. My savage model110 shoots the little lee 155gr 312 sized to .311 at 1900fps gas checked lee alox 2 coats imr 28gr with dracon filler really really good.

n o $ for a custom mold. what can I use for hunting deer in Mo? I want it on the heavy side 180 or bigger. A large metplate would be nice. Needs to be .312 or larger.Sized to .311 is what my model...

was wondering if this boolit (gas checked) would work good in a remington 700 cal.30-06.THE GROOVE size is just shy of .308. i have a .311 sizer. Is .003 over to big or would it be better to...

got into reloading to save money and to chase the elusive better load,thus more shooting and better acuracy. Same with CB.

Found something better,stress relief and relaxation. What could be better...

Found something dif. today while sorting ww today. A reg. looking clip on but it was iron. marked fe. I thought it was bad enough getting lots of stick ons fe., now this.

Now my reject piles keep...

Like Ole said-clean the entire bolt assembly. SKS has a floating firing pin , no spring. Original cosmo or acumilated dirt will cause pin to stick causing not only slam fires but gun can go...

Correction on my last post.

Harder alloy makes bigger boolits.

Bingo

Crutch welcome

I am assuming you sluged your barrels and you are giving us the bore dia. Boolit fit to bore is most inportant. Generally 1 or 2 .000 over bore works well.

Buy a Lee 312-155 or...

Great story. Maybe I will tell mine one day about going thru 2 or 3 hardhood hammer handles untill I learned bololits are suposed to drop out of the mold and not beaten out.

Sunday afternoon. Just got done smelting pure pb, 100lb of ingots. Used a cheap lee ingot mold 2 one lb. and 2 half lb.. Going to buy 2 or 3 more molds cause waiting to solidify takes to long.

I am a newbie but I have cast boolits years ago. I never laddle dipped, only bottom pour out of a lee 20 pro pot. It works great for me. Smelt your ww in a sact iron pot into ingots. Melt the...
