I did mine a bit simpler.

I disassembled a treadmill, leaving the motor, pulley, and driven roller in place on the frame.
Then I took the roller on the far side of the frame off and moved it...

I will at some point. I don't want to give too much info about it right now as it's pretty much my only competitive advantage in converting BLK brass.

Thank you all for the kind words.

I can...

5.56 that I've chopped the necks off of. Processing into 300 BLK.

In the other room I've got a drill press set up with a slitting cutter to chop the necks off. Pre-chopping is a must if...

Well, I haven't done too much on this forum, but I wanted to get into some automated bullet casting (probably with a Master Caster) and figured I should share what I've done since I'm going to be...

I've been building a foundry for doing aluminum casting. At least according to Gingery, brass melts are possible with the type I'm making.

Crazy ambition? Cast brass AR-15 lower. Yes, I know......

Thanks fellas. I will try a couple of the scrappers nearby and see what they say.

Otherwise, I'll give the classifieds here a shot.


Slightly unrelated question:

Have any of ya'll had...

Now there's another search result! Just think of how robust the library of "lead sources" topics is becoming!

Uh... and I posted without thinking to search.

Any idea on the current average...

I've tried local, but the tire shops pretty much already have other arrangements.

Been watching government surplus auctions, but the price usually ends up too close to the ebay average to be worth...

Sweet. Can't wait.

Thanks again for running these molds for us.

Wonderful video. I love that it separates the priming into a discrete action, too.

Thank you.

Sell me on one or the other, please.

The half step indexing seems attractive to me. And I like the die bushing concept.

But Dillon has the better warranty. But it seems like you do pay for...

Hey swedenelson,

I just logged in and got your messages. I was under the impression that the molds weren't being run until december.

If ya'll have already run them and I missed out, I...

A horse-pushed cart you say? What a fantastic idea!

:D

Honestly, I don't see them as mutually exclusive propositions. I've got an order in on the NOE group buy thread for 247 gr for my 300...

True. Unless it was cast as a single piece and then had pins and holes drilled while it was a single piece.

But then you have to account for the kerf of whatever blade you use to split them.

I have the first two books in that series. My foundry is mostly finished. Still need to make a crucible, a lid, and tongs. It's a great read, for sure.

Gingery's lil' bertha furnace is on my...

I haven't cut much metal with my mill. Only a bit of aluminum in very shallow cuts. It's really just for woodworking.

But, that does make me think that it might be possible to do a casting and...

Ok, forgive me for I am new here and to this hobby. I've reloaded but never cast my own bullets.

One of my other hobbies is CNC. Mostly woodworking. Various gun grips and such.

But I've...

I'd like to be added to the list for one of these, please.

5 cavity. 3 gas checked 2 non gas checked. One of the gas checked one's as a hollow point, please.

Now... the wait.
