Timing of that issue is great. A group of friends and I were having an M1 and Mauser day at the range in the morning and I was thinking "I really should reload for the M1" and I get home to find the...

Much better problem to have than "I wish I could get my hands on some lead" LOL

Yeah....I'm telling myself that the savings are "long term" because all the foray into the casting world has done is give me a new range of cool stuff to buy! But I have to admit that I feel pretty...

Nice score!

I own several Lee molds....however I don't have that one....but thank you for making me search "meplat"....I learned something new today...so it was a good day!

well I decided to melt down the suspect ingots by combining them with around 2 ingots worth of melted (lead) clip on wheel weights. I slowly added in the suspect ingots, fluxing along the way and...

Yes. They were the last ones, I only know because that is how I had stacked them. There is nothing visually similar to the rest, and I dropped some drops of muriatic acid on random other ones and...

Good morning everyone!

When I was melting down range lead over the weekend and casting ingots, I put aside a few ingots that had a different coloring in a few spots. I picked up some muriatic...

Now that will be a full day!

Agreed!

After plenty of great advice and suggestions, I processed 40 pounds of clip on wheel weights into ingots and also processed 39 pounds of recovered range lead scrap into ingots as well. Of the 39...

The other 9mm pistols I have will shoot those loads. I actually just have earlier boxes of rounds (non-canik friendly) with stickers on the boxes that I need to use up in other pistols.

Thanks eck0313. I have an old casting pot that doesn't need to be used to cast bullets anymore. I might try using that for my wheel weight processing. I have a nice propane burner and cast iron...

In my Canik i'm running 1.115" COL. I was running longer COL in my other 9s but the Canik was experiencing feed issues as well in the longer ranges. 1.115" seems to be a sweet spot for me. I run...

Thanks everyone!

So I have found a source for lead wheel weights (yes - I will need to sort through them, but that's ok!) and my question is - what would be a better option for processing the wheel weights into...

They are indeed sir. I have the 2 cavity and 6 cavity version. I am really enjoying them as well.

Just wanted to share - even got the wife to try her hand at casting a few bullets on the 2 cavity mold before she went back inside and I could go to town with the 6 cavity. She really seemed to...

Sounds good. Thanks again everyone!

I have been using the Lee 356-120-TC. I started with the 2 cavity and quickly bought the six. I pc my bullets and shoot them through my TP9SFX.

Larry - does powder coating them fall into the heat treated catagory?

Thanks! Appreciate the quick response!

Happy Sunday everyone!

Quick question about testing hardness of recently cast bullets. Is there a minimum amount of time you should wait before testing hardness (Lee hardness tester) to get a...

Looks great. I will have to reach out to Smoke for some more info on his powder!

Thank you for the tips and advice - especially the warning about "flaring up on its own"! I will try and find the YouTube link again to see if the poster mentioned pure antimony or perhaps he said...
