Ok got it thanks for the info and I hope you get power back soon.

I use the little craftsman shop vac but it is pretty loud I did buy some extra vac hose so that I can just put the vac outside of the shop it’s a little quieter that way.

I used to use an old electric skillet set to max temp to preheat ingots and molds it did help but I have since acquired a magma master caster with the 40lb pot and can’t even find the time to cast a...

Lol I was thinking the same thing! Can never have to many cook books for reloading.

I looked into it once and after factoring in the insurance it would have to be a full time job to turn any kind of profit.

I use the Frankford arsenal wet tumbler fill it about 3/4 with brass, about an ounce of car wash soap, a 45 case or 2 worth of lemishine and water to just below the neck of the threaded end and this...

I keep my pc in a file cabinet in plastic zip bags in the shop with one of those moisture traps you can buy at the dollar store and haven’t had any issues.

I did something similar once... I read somewhere that wax was a good mold lube for the spure plate pivot and lock points so while it was hot I touched a piece of crayon to those areas and immediately...

So when you say core mold your referring to making a jacketed bullet for a shotgun? That would be pretty cool. I have swaged 9mm brass and cast lead 9mm bullet into a 40cal hollow point bullet it...

Ok thanks for the info.

Also what do you think one of these molds would be worth? Thanks

If it were used for a shotgun slug would the lead hardness matter since most shot guns are smooth bore?

Yeah I was kinda leaning towards shot gun slug as well but wasn’t sure.

I will try to add a picture but it looks like it will cast a cylinder type bullet with slightly rounded edges almost like a wad cutter?

Picked up some molds in a lot by on eBay and in the lot were 5 two cavity magma eng. molds dated May 1993 and say 332/RB they measure 0.62+- diameter by 0.54+- deep.
Thanks

My stock bed was also warped before I even got to use it. I wrote monoprice and they said they are sending me a replacement. I installed a piece of glass and really like the finished product and how...

The MBF power supply comes with a protection built in this is from their web site “It includes a power surge protection, preventing more than 800mA from being supplied, even if the motor stalls. This...

It took some time but I designed and 3d printed an adaptor for the mr bullet feeder that so far has worked reliably with 45 200gr SWC, 230gr RN, 225gr TCFP, 9mm 115gr Rn. I had some trouble with 38...

I recently borrowed a 3d printer from a friend and I’m afraid I’m going to wear it out it has been running darn near 24hrs a day since I picked it up from him last Monday. It prints slow but I often...

I use cast/ plated bullet load data for powder coated bullets but find that the velocity is usually higher than shown in the book using the same load as a cast or plated. I assume the powder coating...

My go to powder for 223 is TAC but never tried it with cast boolits only FMJ. For what it’s worth.

I powder coat time consuming but worth it.

I started casting about 2 years ago I am now 29, I remember dabbling in casting fishing sinkers with my dad when I was about 13 he picked up some stuff at a yard sale but we never really got into it....

I think I have accidentally added some bismuth to my lead mix if I remember right the boolets seemed to shrink a lot once cooled and the spure didn’t cut very cleanly almost like chunked off. It was...
