Wonder what caused them to be purple. I had the same thing happen with old lead cable sheathing I melted down.

Do all scrap yards have machines like that? I have some large pieces I would like tested. Just stuff I picked up along the way. Been sitting in the garage 10+ years because I don't really know what...

I'd find someone in your area to trade with. Shot trade at 1 1/2-2ibs of ingots for 1 lb of shot.

I live in Maine , maybe close enough for a face to face trade. Sent you a PM.

I have seen slugs with and with out rifling at the store. I cast most 45LC and 45acp, but my son asked if I could cast some slugs for him. I have never casted for shotguns and have very little info....

Thanks Dan. The more I am learnin about trying this, the more I am rethinking why? LOL.

Hey Guys. I do some cowboy shooting and switched from smokeless to goex this year. Haven't been to a match as next one here is in April.
I went with a 210 gr FNRP and put a wonder wad under it...

I put the ejector spring in. Have not been to the range, but put empty hull in and ejected it the way its supposed too. Will have to check whether or not hull length is gonna be an issue.

Ejector spring on left outside of frame. Bob

Took it out this morning and its snapped off. 2 questions.
1- will the new one need to be trimmed down before installation?
2- it says solid frame replacement. Mine is a take down model, is that...

Thanks all. @ John, I will take that out and look at it, Bob

Hey all, I have a winchester mod 97 mfg date 1907 that don't want to eject spent shells. It will completely eject loaded shells with ease. I do not see on the gun where its 2 3/4 or something else....

Thanks for the replys.
The only other lead I use is for 38 cowboy matches for spouse and 45 acp mid range loads.

I would only be using this rifle for cas/sass. I have the 454190 thats a single cav and haven't used since I got some other 2,4 and 6 cav molds. Thanks for the great info all, Bob

Thanks all for the replies. Looks like time for a new set of molds then. My '73 has the 24" barrel. Another avenue to turn since I have started casting. : ).

I cast both and the 200grainer seems flatter and a little wider at the end . When I run it thrru my sizer the top punch leave a little circle impession around the outside of flat point.

Doesn't Lyman make one? I have a lyman 4 cav 200gr TC mold. Heavy ol bugger, but sure cast some nice ones.

Used my 1st 6 cav yesterday. Much faster then my old 2 cav. The only thing I need to change is to a 20 pound pot instead of 10lb.

Maine- I live in the southern part and have yet to get a tire shop to part with any WWs. Even offering to pay. Local scrap yard said they would sell some. I take some copper in on occasion.

Most...
