If memory serves, about 6-7oz of tin to 20 lbs of your alloy would bring tin to about 2%.
You can buy nuggets of tin from rotometals, but I've heard of guys using old pewter (which is mostly...

Mold temp, and here's my best suggestion, based on my own failures and success; start pouring, and just don't worry if any of them are good.
You see, aluminum heats up pretty quick, but it also...
Did you get the mold Mica? I was wondering if the boolits got tried in a 30-30?

Actual face to face (or mask to mask) Dr appointment this afternoon. Apparently they're using a tent in the parking lot. I'll let y'all know.

I came down with Kung Flu around March 12th (presumed covid as flu was ruled out).
I was diagnosed with pneumonia ten'ish days ago, and just finished a double dose of antibiotics for that. I was...

Baruch HaShem! As said elsewhere, make sure she lets herself heal. Use duct tape if you need to.

Abba G-d, please look after our friend Bazoo.

Made some cartridges the other day. Need to do some cleaning.
I'm trying a 155 gr poly coated boolit over 30gr of H4895. If I ever get well (yah I caught KungFlu) I'm going to go shoot over the...

They're starting to get on top of it. I was eyeing the 3031, and the 8lb was back in stock.

Welcome aboard. If I bought all that, I'd need to write my Obit next, 'cause my wife would Kill me. :D

Murdoch's is having a 20% off sale on all their reloading stuff running through Oct 15th. They normally have CCI primers for $3.49, which is better than most places, but with the sale, we're talking...

Oh wow... I have got to give that trick a try this year! Of course, when my wife opens the Home Depot bucket and finds it full of brass, I may catch it, but sacrifices must be made. [smilie=1:

Maine is right, just as a warning. :holysheep
They're like potato chips, it's really hard to have just one. A pistol caliber is in my future sometime, I just have to quit waffling on which caliber....

I've got the Mossberg 464 too. I would add that it took quite a bit of break-in before I reached the point where I started to like it much less love it. I don't plan on ever parting with it at this...

Technically not in the shop/reloading room, as there's no heat out there and a blizzard blowing into town. But I really wanted to do a few reloads. So I grabbed my little Lee loader and did ten...
Yup. I fail to see the allure of 300BO. Actually, easier to say what I like and/or want.
Love my 30-30. It's versatile and fairly cheap to feed. Especially with cast lead & pistol powder. :)
Want...

My favorites right now are the freebies at a friend's house. He's been hitting estate sales and buying mixed lots that have included quite a bit of rifle powder. He mostly reloads for pistol and...

Yup, dead on. With us they bought a candy bar at a convenience store. Then they started buying radios and fancy (read: lowrider) car parts.

Okay, so I was on the Lever Gun Performance Studies website, looking at their 30-30 data. The lead in page gives a lot of information about test conditions and such.
There's just one thing that...

My father in law underwent Chemo for esophageal cancer. He was supposed to have surgery to remove the area this month, but he's too weak. He's having trouble eating and drinking (big surprise, given...
