Could not find a sticky. However, it is a problem with IE 10. If you go to "Tools" and change "compatability view" I got it to work.

Thanks. The Babbit I have I'm basically using for a source of tin. At any of the mixes I'd make, the copper percentage would be less than 1% so I think I'm OK. It will be interesting to see what...

Reread the info available at LASC on the use of Babbit in alloys today. Have access to some Babbit and have had problems in the past with the bottom pour spout freezing even at higher temps. There...

I've shot about 7,000 rounds of Lyman 311284 GC at 210 grains out of a Winchester 70 XTR 30-06...
The old timer's (I qualify) 1903 cast load is the Lyman 311284. I have two two holers and they both cast a .311 body that I size to .310, and a .301 ish bore riding nose. The nose can be bumped up...

I just bought a 4 cavity 452-200 with all the goodies from MiHec's e-store does this come with a choice of hollowpoint size?
Forum: Group Buy Archives
I'd take a 4 cavity in a heartbeat. Doesn't seem to be much interest though. If anyone has one for sale, please contact me.
