couple 100lb fertilizer bags full of oxy/act will move a fertilizer truck

Alloy was coww, temp was 700 on the digital readout. tried 730 and 750. didn't get much for results. but I will try the hotplate next time.

I normally use my hotplate, however I have the new lyman digital furnace with warming shelf. I tried the warming shelf to preheat the hold and it clearly didn't get hot enough to drop good boolits. I...

Hi all,
First off I'd like to say I have a few NOE Molds and the workmanship is to notch and I love the bullet styles. My struggles are with the 5 cavity molds (aluminum) I have troubles getting...

mold just showed up, looks awesome. as they always do.

I have one aswell

Fired the pot up the other day, took a little while to fully melt 25lbs of lead as to be expected. I definitly need to modify the mold guide to work with noe and mp molds. First time using apot with...

My pot showed up yesterday. I havent had a chance to fire it up, but it looks well built. Built in fan, pid, warming plate the whole 9 yards. They included a note that says they have melted roughly...

I was on a list, i ordered the pot when they first came available on their site.

Seems odd they give out two stories, guess i'll wait and see. it's not like i havent waited long enough allready.

Just talked to their customer service as well, i have mine on its way. The lady said I'm getting one of their first batches that are available. no sure why they would give two different answers.

Lyman just callled, the pots are in stock.

fill the cavities with lead, put a dab of lube on a qtip and apply to the mold? seems to allways effect my boolits. i will try agian.

I have several bottles of the lube, i never had luck using it on the top of the molds/bottom of the plate without contaminateing the cavities.

That might just be my issue, too cold and not waiting long enough after hardening to cut then not waiting that extra time before opening the mold. i have an aluminum noe mold that works very well,...

the 1001-1007 count, is that from pour or from puddle hardening?

if i run the lead and mold hotter it seems like i smear the base when the sprue cools.

Good morning everyone,
I have been casting for about 3 years now, most of my casting has been done with iron molds. Recently I ventured into the custom brass hp world and have picked up several mp...

Try using standard primers instead of magnums and I bet your group size tightens up.

Most of the time as casters we get into the hobby to "save" money, which once the addiction kicks in, never seems to pan out. For alot of us we cast because we enjoy it plus we can generally cast...

please put me down for one 4 cav pb hp with all the pins. tgraff AT crsrents DOT ca

Iron molds in my experience were the easiest to learn, brass work great once you learn their quirks but are heavy over long casting sessions, aluminum i had the hardest time getting the hang of due...

Its almost too bad theres no IQ test involved for reproduction. Along with that I say we remove warning labels as means of population control!

I had that happen trying lr primers in 45 acp cases, primer was dragging amd snapped a pawl.

Plated bullets are a step between jacketed and cast. Gas checks stop bullets from skidding rifling, if you match the alloy and velocity to the twist rate of the gun properly you shouldn't need a gas...
