I got some of the Aqualube and just want to check to make sure I am correct in my understanding of when I can use it. I am under the impression that I can recoat boolits after sizing using the...

My dad bought a Lyman Spartan 50 years ago that I learned reloading on. I still have it mounted on my bench and it is still going strong.

Another plug for Titan- I placed an order for Lee press and accessories on 2/12. The package showed up on my door 2/17. Great service and good prices.

There is definitely a plastic smell. I don't think its necessarily unpleasant but it is different from the normal powder or lube fragrances so I think people pick up on it. I was at an IDPA shoot...

The MiHec 9mm Group Buy (In Group Buy Section) still has opportunity to get a mold if you act fast. Balta says there are still some mold blocks available. MiHec has already sent out paypals so this...

I have done 225 62 gr from Mihec mold. Red Copper one coat then seat the gas check (made on Freecheck) then 2 coat and size. I am using 2-extreme catalyist which gives a slick surface- No problems...

The best way to check for zinc in the ingots is to do a test with muriatic acid to see if you get a reaction when put on the surface (bubbling due to gas generation reaction)

I sort using magnet and nippers for all the reasons that have already been laid out here. Wheel weights are getting more and more difficult to get and I don't have want to loose any to zinc...

Very good information. I wonder if you have any marked "Micro" as these seem to make a large part of what I find and wonder what the composition of these are?

Gasoline--- I have a very old (1920's) plumbers furnace made by Otto Bernz Company (before it became Bernz-O-Matic) that runs on gasoline. This is definitely and outside only tool and sound like a...

I know that I will be moving in a year. I have over 2,000 lbs, yet I can't stop myself from collecting more. I keep stopping by the tire store to pick up another bucket to sort. HELP- I'm a...

I hand sort using a pair of nippers and a small magnet. There is so much junk and valve stems in the buckets that have to be sorted anyway it does not take that much longer to sort out the zinc and...

I just saw that NOE has some 314299 and 316299 molds in stock. I just ordered one as had been waiting for them to become available. If you are looking for one now is the time to check them out.

The walls are 3/16" thick which is heavier than my 20# cast iron pot. I guess I will give it a try and see what happens. I think it is a 5 qt pot so should hold quite a bit. I have quite a bit of...

I picked up an old cast iron Dutch oven at the recycling/exchange center. It would be just the right size for smelting, but it is porcelain coated. Has anyone actually tried melting lead in a...

I have the Lyman 45 that my dad bought in the 60's along with the dies he had that I still use. These dies were always stored with lube in them and some of them I haven't used since he put them...

I use an old gasoline plumbers furnace so control of the heat is very difficult. I hand sort all the WW to separate lead COW, steel, zinc, and garbage. With the scrounging it takes now days to get...

The older CCI musket caps were 6 petal (not sure if they were marked "Liberty") and these had a stronger charge. As far as I know CCI discontinued these so if Gander has them they must be old stock....

I have a Pedersoli Sharps replica and I had a lot of ignition problems using the CCI "Re-enactor" musket caps and would go through a dozen to get one shot. I found that CCI is now producing these...

This is story in local paper, I can't even describe my reaction to these morons and idiots without getting into a lot of profanities. I think the people on this forum would appreciate my reaction...

On stainless revolvers I have found that the Birchwood-Casey Lead Remover/Polishing Cloth will take the carbon deposits off with just a little rubbing and is not abrasive.

I started casting with my Dad over 50 years ago and have continued doing it since then. I still have all his molds and the Lyman 45 lubrisizer. We used to cast using a gasoline fired plumbers...

Mine is my S&W 610 with 6" barrel
