I Googled Okonite and they make cable and wiring so at a very shaky guess it's some kind of wiping solder from the good old days.
Lighter moulds are available from many custom mould makers, you can also peruse the Ballisti-Cast catalog, they have taken over the H&G mould line (hurray!) and sell versions for handles as well as...

Amen and I should add that if one is having trouble why not put that in the headline of the post. Personally, I am pretty new here and to reloading, and would be really leery of trying any "pet"...

The fact that he has several buckets available and only fills one bucket a month tells me his prices are high for the local market. Offer to take them ALL for $35 per bucket.

Plus one on that, sort 'em and either save 'em or trade 'em. The small primer was a solution to ignition problems created by lead free primers. Just put the "bad" brass to one side.

I'll second that, there's usually at least one beekeeper at the local Farmer's Market (in season), I don't use it in lube (at least not yet) but beeswax is handy for so many things, I try to keep...
Here's the thing, I used to sell camera, camera salesmen, as a rule, do not know that much about photography, they study cameras. Same thing, gun sales, new guns are introduced all the time, to be a...

You're friend GAVE you the powder so you're not out anything unless you try to use it; damage a gun, put out an eye, etc. The lawn sounds like the best place for this accident waiting to happen.

Plus one to slugging your barrel, etc. You may be getting blowby, lube might be all gone before the bullet leaves the barrel. Light loads or hard bullets could also prevent obturation causing...
