Brinkman, the makers of the burner in most turkey fryers 170,000 BTU is about $16. from their sight. I have a couple.

Yep, I used a thermalcouple and PID controller to control my mash sparge pumps and heater when I used to brew my own beer. I am making a tippy dump for my new smelting pot. I don't want to valve the...

How are you heating it? I was contemplating this using a water heater element or two.

Many thanks for the LC brass at such a good price. Excellent person to deal with.

Thanks!!

I was told $10.00 per bucket but... He said that they get audited and that is why everyone in the area shys away from giving them up.

I still get wrinkled bullets with my 6 banger. I have been looaned a two banger and it works perfectly every time. The only time the six cavity casts good sharp boolits is when it is too hot. If I...

OR if they are steel, even cast steel as Buckshot states, wire feed or arc away, just keep the amps down so you don't melt the hanles into oblivion. My problem with Lee handles is the wood on the...

Na, do it all the time. Preheat the handle with a torch until it glows, let it cool just long enought to goto black heat, use 99% nickle rod or another rod meant for GREY cast iron, and weld it. let...

If there is I suggest getting a prescription and taking a pill before taking the advice of some of the following posts which instruct whacking it. This will save alot of time and frustration.

I flux right before starting to fill the moulds. Then again when new ingots come to temp just before filling. How often should we flux?

You haven't overdone it. If It weren't for the good looks of the Lymann all inclusive deal, I likely would have done the same. I ordered the Lee Mould because I researched it in depth here and many...

I'm NOT a big fan of most of Lee's stuff. BUT! Someone sent me a really really old bottom pour pot for the price of shipping and my brand new Lyman, will only be plugged in to drain it or as a...

I call it wheel weight crap! I get the same from some of my ingots. Maybe we didn't get all the WW crap off during smelting?

Yes, tried with and without, same results.

I wonder if Midway will exchange this mould? I have done everything the Lee manual said to do and have done everything all of you here have thrown at me. Much appreciated, but I'm about ready to...

I am using wheel weights. I have my mould on a burner. I am casting at 650* as it wont get any hotter for me. last load produced one (1) good boolit.

OK, but I only had one reject from the last load, no more puzzles, but lots of "flash lines". I cleaned the mould surface of anything obvious and will try again.

OK, I boiled them for 1 hour with soap. I washed and wiped them down with denatured alcohol. I bought a hot plate and put a piece of 1/4 plate on top and the mould on that. I am still getting puzzle...

I bought the 9", after all I'm a guy and bigger is always better right? Not! I did find a solution though. I am using one of those magnetic bases for a dial indicator with just one of the bars and...

LOL, I figured someone else would say it so I didn't have to.

I will, got a hotplate as well. I casted alot of rejects last night! Thanks for all the input, I never saw the boil one, I have read many of the posts concerning issues and solutions to Lee moulds,...

LOL, story of my life! I have to redip the ladle a couple times, but I do try to make sure that I don't get any in the other holes between scoups.

I bet your feeling of not wanting to go back came from your thoughts of how they percieved it. Not knowing whether or not you realized you hit the bikes. If you had realized it, I also bet you would...

I'm using a Lymann ladle and the baby pot that comes with the kit. I'll clean them again and wait a bit longer before opening as advised. I actually was opening almost immediately after pouring,...

I started tonight trying to cast. I get what the book calls a cold mould bullet. The mould isn't cold. The bullets all come out of the mould looking like they were poured a little at a time with...
