I was going to use Blue Dot Powder for some of my loads, I like the high velocity and low pressures but someone told me that Blue Dot is VERY temperature sensitive. I live in an area where the...
Got a picture. I have two of the sharpshooter molds, 00 and 0000. Would love to not have to cut off the sprues
Am interested in casting and reloading my own tri-balls. Would prefer a .600 mold that makes more than one ball at a time.
Does anyone make a mold that will cast .600 lead balls but will cast more than one at a time, preferably 3 but even 2 at a time would be double the speed of a single. Thanks in advance....
Anybody making large shot like 6's, 4's, 2's, BB's???
Jim, that is on the last line, let us know if you are shooting a smoothbore or rifled barrel...thanks/John

Chris, what sizes of shot do you make. Looking for 7 1/2, 6 and 4, possibly even 2's
What is the difference between truck wheel weights and auto wheel weights. I picked up about 100# this week from a truck tire outfit. Are they not usable for lead shot or buckshot?
Where can you get the molds with the sprue cutters for buckshot? Looking for 00, 0000, 1, 2, 4
I am going to cast 00 and 0000 buckshot. Got about 200 lbs of wheel weights but they are awfully dirty, do I need to clean them up before I melt and flux them or do you just do them as is. Also is...
