I am a big fan of the K I S S philosophy. I am in complete agreement with those who have posted they either weigh them or dont care. IMHO, its seems like a solution to a non problem.

Have you ever thought of trying a commercially cast bullet to see if it still leads? Maybe a friend casts?

Anyone know if they might fit into a Lee rifle charging die?

That's awesome!!! Are these auctions in southeast Wisconsin? If so, where?
Forum: Reloading Equipment
At the Sinclair they are selling for $276. At that price, I couldnt see buying one. At the 100 to 125 dollar range I think that would be an outstanding value. Does anyone know if these could be...

Some people will buy anything. This is, after all, the same country that bought tag protectors for Beanie Babies......

All of my rags are one time use. I use old t shirts. I tell people I know that I want their old T shirts that are torn, stained, or didn't sell at their garage sale, etc. I have bags and bags of...

Very nice craftsmanship Ben! I just curious where the portable part comes in though? I have my press mounted to a 4X4 block of wood attached to a roofing joist counter balance with, what else cast...

Whoa.....there JA. Crawl before you walk there my friend. As previously mentioned, take your time. I have a Lee pot and Lee molds. They work just fine. Casting is as much art as it is science. Brush...

Why not just run multiple Lee pots for the price of the RCBS ??

Darto,
Your question is one of those that could be done but probably shouldnt be done. If you plan on using wood, why not just do it outside? You could get a steel fire pit, dig a pit in your...

Danderdude,
That took some courage to post those pics and share that story I'm sure of it. Now to possibly solve your problem. What is your smelting setup and where are you doing it? Are you...

One more thing. Empty the pot completely. Pull the rod and make sure the there isnt dross or some foreign material causing the rod to not completely be flush with the nozzle.

This is how I cured my drip o matic. The lever is attached with a self tapping screw from Lee. Take it off. With a small amount of molten lead in the pot adjust the rod so that it wont drip. Screw it...

I tried some non crimped bullets today along with the crimped. Didn't noticed a difference which is great! Now I can skip a die on my single stage press. Sweet!
I leave mine on. Aluminum doesnt rust so why bother ?
I'll be happy to take and pay the shipping on any Lee molds you would turn down for free!

My 2 cents is this. A Ferrari and a Chevy will both get you from point A to point B. How much production do you plan on doing? How much do you plan on spending? You could use a used cast iron pot...

Been there done that! Not only did I have a big mess to clean but had cold lead to boot!
