I followed them on epay for a couple of months a while back, they seemed to mostly go for $80-$120. I think they are pretty neat, and $50 seems like a deal. If it were $100, I'd rather have a used...

And what's with those razor blades? Do tire shops use them for something, or are the grease monkeys grooming themselves on their lunch breaks? If the latter, I think I'll start taking them electric...

Our club held a clinic on bullet casting this morning. It was neat, I got to see some different equipment, and dropped my first boolits. After all the participants had a turn at the furnace, then...

Thanks for the skinny on the 45, sounds like it's suitable to begin on, and possibly to use for a long time as well.

Stopped at an estate sale on the way back from a fun show that had listed a reloading press in their estatesales.com listing. Turned out to be a lot consisting of a Lyman 55 powder measure, a Lyman...

Understood, I hadn't considered that possibility but it makes good sense.

I'm thinking a 4# ladle might be a bit much for me as Mr. A. Ritus has been hinting at making house calls here. I know...

Assuming one is using the 4 cavity molds put out by the various makers, such as RCBS, SAECO and Lyman,

a) are the four cavities on said molds one pound in capacity?

b) what is the best sized...

Thanks Dude, according to wv's info, this one is a Progressive. Unfortunately it's on the left coast and I'm nearer to the right coast. Think I'll wait for one close.

This isn't the same one mentioned in this thread, but is for sale at the same price. If a fella had a hankering for a Star, anything wrong with this one (aside from the lousy pictures)? I'm...

I'm not sure I agree with the others. Is your purpose to provide yourself an income, or to have free ingots? If the latter, you should be able to keep around 1/4 of the ingots you make and have...

Thanks, thought that might be the case, but paranoia keeps creeping in. [smilie=s:

That's great news, much lower priced than I had imagined they would be. With used ones selling from $70-$130 on epain, and the company in MT mentioned above making copies at $189 per, I figured...

A couple posts above mentioned oxidized lead, I just bought 700# + of ww that had orange rust over a lot of it. I smelted about 50# and took in a couple of snootfuls of the smoke, it wasn't...

Seemingly two or three model Ms go through evilpay each week. Seen them go for as low as high $20s and as high as $90. Here's the $90 one, see anything special about it? Neither did I! ...

The myth has it's own web page:

Someone posted a good idea he had, nailed around them to keep them in position. Another made...

Cool, thanks! I don't frequent the pet stores, so I wasn't quite sure of the toy. That helps.

Cheap, fast & easy, and pics needed for the hamsterless among us! :idea:

Thanks, thought I saw someone selling Zinc ingots in the Swappin' section, and wondered if I couldn't put someone on to these if particularly desired. Sounds like it's unloved.

The local scrap yard owner pointed out some globs of something to me, said it was zinc, it had been attached to the bottom of boats to help fight corrosion. Is it likely this stuff is pure zinc? Is...

Thanks, that helps. Ran into some buckets of unsorted, uncounted brass that I am trying to figure out how to value. Sorry for the poor wording, I'll fix.

Is there a list somewhere of approximately how many cases it takes to weigh a pound, by caliber? For example, 50 9mm, 30 40S&W, 20 45 ACP, etc.?

TIA,

Is plmitch awesome, or what? Great guy to do bidness with! :awesome:

I've only smelted wheel weighs into ingots so far, but the Lyman thermometer I picked up at an estate sale works like a champ for me.

SlimTim

See above, I had to pay.
