I had really good luck too. The service is great. Shipping was really surprisingly fast too.

Umm.....no.


But seriously folks,


I'm gonna give her another go ASAP. The shellholder being used is the one from the factory supplied (brand new) 9mm conversion kit. I had tumbled...

I had just installed a 9mm conversion kit on my Square Deal B, brand new kit, virtually brand new press, when i started having trouble. The press ran slick and perfect with .38 Special kit using...

Scored one next to new turkey fryer with no pot, great shape and sturdy for $25. Looks used maybe once or twice only. Found a big sieve type deep fryer pan for $2, a good day!

I found a next to brand new turkey cooker, really sturdy looking for $25. Good deal, those are usually $100 or better 'round here. And an awesome deep fryer sieve type pan with big drain holes and a...

Thanks for the replies, guys. This is just for a few friends, not advertising or anything. Probably not a great amount of boolits. I think I may do the trade for components or lead thing, and I will...

Hey Guys,

I'm a new caster, just getting into it. I've casted up a bunch of .45 195 gr. and 124 gr. 9mm bullets for a buddy.We're in the load testing phase of things. However, others have...

I had lubed the barrel with a healthy dose of fluid film prior to starting slugging.

63 Shiloh, thanks for the accuracy tip! Just getting to know this old girl...I've only put jacketed rds....

Today i was out melting some salvage pureish lead from a buddy, ended up with 28 Lyman sized ingots. Anyway, my first bit heated, melted.Great went to add another dry looking large hunk of...

Yard sale season is here again! If it would only stop raining and snowing. Was going to go this weekend, but something about 3 inches of wet snow makes people postpone the garbage sales round these...

Well, it looks like I scored big time- I got one H&G in .45-195gr.(4 cav.)
1 .38 wadcutter Lyman (4 cav.),
1 Lyman 9mm 124 gr. (4 cav)
1 Lyman .45 roundball mould
1 2 cavity .38 158 RN (a little...

Lyman Handles, the same ones used for the larger size single and double cavity mould blocks. my 4 cavity Lyman type handles,wouldn't work though.

Anybody know? I cast a bunch in straight Wheeweight metal, and they drop at .312.5 ". My bore slugs out ( after some seroious farting around) to .313.5" to .314"
So, please feel free to correct me,...

Hey thanks for the reply Suo Gan. Appreciated.
And also thanks a bunch to all you fellas who replied to my questions, and for the welcome to the forum here. It's a heck of a pool of knowledge on...

Ok, so now I've attempted to slug my barrel. I'm running into a bit of an issue. I had a bunch of the above mentioned .312 boolits, so i fattened one up by piching it tin a vice to .320, it only went...

Do you guys pick up whole or parts of jacketed bullets? or is that worthwhile, i.e. do you get much quality lead from the cores? enough to justify the jacket mess when melting down?

I'm just...

Picked up a couple of soft lead egg sinker at Wally World this afternoon- and slugging is going to happen later this evening. Oh, and it's a jungle carbine (minty).

Google came up wit the info that this is "armetale" an alluminum alloy made by Wilton. Watch out for anything pewter like that has RWP in an oval on it. It is fake pewteresque ****. Oh well. if only...

I picked up a couple of thrift store items that i suspect are pewter. I got one of those beer steins with the see through bottom, I know it's pewter, english pewter according to the stamp.

It's...

Thanks for the responses, guys. greatly appreciated. My boolits filled out very well, of course there were a few that ended up back in the pot due to wrinkles (mold not up to temp?) some pinholes in...

Hey all,


I just got my new (used) casting gear. I went a little western on the casting on the first day. I started up just playing with my new stuff and ended up casting 350-400 .357 dia. 124...

I just got my greasy little mitts on around 400 lbs of indoor range lead, my buddy and I melted into ingots a couple of years ago. I'm hoping to use it to make low velocity pistol bullets with it.
...

A buddy and I were casting ingots today. My first time doing wheelweights. Tiger torch+ss stock pot + 2.5 buckets weights. Cool gold color on the first melt, so, too much heat?.

Then buddy is...

Even the prices and availability of components here in Canada is ridiculous!
We're paying around $30-$40 per pound of powder, depending on type -and our $'s are very close to parity at this point....

Way cool!
