My expansion plugs have rounded shoulders while my compression insert is square shouldered. If I compress the powder with an expander it leaves a ring of powder that's taller around the inside...

Ballistol has worked so well for me it's my go to cleaner for black powder. I also use it for between shot wiping in my rifles. I've either gotten used to, or have learned to overlook the smell.

Sundogg1911,

It's nice to see you actually use the tools you have. The guys at work all have welders but I haven't heard them ever talk about using them.

I have to make some room in my...

Sundogg1911,

Nicely done! the other day me and some of the guys at work were talking and I was the only one without a welder. They wanted my man card. :( But they can't take it cause I'm the...

Thanks guys.

I use different ingot molds because I cast different boolits [smilie=1:

I need at least two more ingot molds. They took took long to cool before I could
flip them. I couldn't...

Well the weather was too nice to be indoors today so I tried my hand at smelting.

I picked up the burner & ladle off Ebay and splurged on a new dutch oven from Amazon.com. I melted down 5 gallons...

I found this forum too late to get in on this group buy :oops:

I'd like to buy one. If anyone wants to sell one that they ordered please PM with your offer.

Thanks!

I've been wondering!

Glad to hear it! :drinks:

I knew it wouldn't take them too long. Like I said, they did right by me and I wouldn't hesitate to use them for warranty or paid labor. Their...

Ron,

I'd rather have an honest "no answer" than a wrong one. :-D

I guess I'll have to be specific and I'll start a new thread for that.

Thank you,

Doug

What should I expect if I shoot a gas check designed boolit without the gas check? I know I'll have to keep the velocity down but what will happen to accuracy?

A newbie question:

Are boolits cast from this mould safe for tubular magazines?

For what it's worth, I don't see many of those around here. I just don't see them pass through the local gunshop. That tells me that those that have them like them and that they are worth waiting...

Well that makes it a headscratcher doesn't it? :confused:

I have a feeling they will treat you right and you'll get to enjoy that rifle pretty soon.

Best of luck to you, your lady friend and...

I've never used him but I heard he'll do conversions.

Hope I've Helped.

You don't get the fun of making them yourself and they won't knock over much but if you like quiet you have to try Colibri Aguila .22LR out of a 24" barrel. I have a Marlin 39A that loves 'em. You...

lovedogs,

I've never used Marlins warranty but I have used their service department. They've made me very happy and I hope they please you as well.

For what it's worth, I've never heard anyone...

Thanks guys for the help.

I hadn't thought of the basket falling apart. I think they said the pot weighs around 7 pounds so empty it shouldn't be too bad.

I was trying to melt WWs in my 10#...

Hi guys (and Gals but I doubt there's many around here :-D )

I've been goofing around with casting just a bit and I need a smelter. I came across this Lodge Deep Fryer kit on amazon.com and I...
