Look at the left end of the heater base and you'll see a hole about 1/4" dia. The heating element slides in from the other end (right end) and runs parallel to the front of the base.

You'll love it when you get it. I've had one for about five years and like it so well I bought another one about 3 months ago. I keep one set up for 9mm and the other one for .45 cal. They're...

jawjaboy,
Those SS beer kegs make real good moonshine-stills but for smelting lead I'd go with a cast iron pot. The one I use will hold about 100# of melted lead and I've never had any problems with...
Hardcast,
I think you made a wise decision going with Ballisti-cast. I purchased 3 six cavity moulds from them about a month ago and have only had a chance to use 2 of them but they're better than...
I've had one of these rest for the last 3 yrs. or so and have been satisfied with it. To me it took a lot, but not all of the human error out of pistol shooting when working up a load. I used it...

I've owned a Hornady Lock-n-Load AP press for about 5 years and last year one of my 4 year old sizing dies started giving me trouble, I thought. I called Hornady and they sent me a new one at no...

In the first post the Felix Lube formula calls for 2 Tbs. of Mineral (Baby) Oil and 1 Tbs. of Castor Oil. It says to heat the Mineral Oil until it starts to smoke and then add the Castor Oil and cook...
