I made and sold 10 cavity molds from 1985 to 1991. I was making $1000 profit every day. After having no time off and no vacation for 6 years I locked the door and went on vacation for a month. I...

I don't see any place on the forum for reloading I hope this is the correct place for this thread.

Flux your lead pot with candle wax.

New wheel wt lead with 4% antimony was selling for about 90 cents per lb. Dirty wheel wt lead with clips, valve stems, grease, oil, bubble gum, papers, spit, tabacco, I refuse to pay more than 1/2...

It is basic science. If you under stand physics you won't be asking why. The specific gravity of lead is many times heaver than water. If you mix lead with water lead sinks to the bottom. If you...

It might be fine but I personally would be afraid of it. 40 years ago my reloader leaked powder on the work bench every time I used it. I would always clean up spilled powder before switching...

Are you trying to make your bullets harder?

I have hardened my bullets for 20 years by dropping them out of the hot bullet mold directly into a 5 gallon bucket of water. I use wheel weight lead =...

I worked in the lead industry 16 years we were required to be tested every 6 months. Lead is 100% save unless your a nasty dirty pig slob. As long as you don't eat lead your fine. Wash your hands...

When I was making molds it was rare to sell a 38 or 357 mold once every 6 months. 9mm and 45 ACP were the big sellers. 10mm was just starting to get popular.

I think I will make a 9mm and 45...

Tell me what calibers you want?

I have a 30 cal carbine bullet that I designed for my rifle. It works better than any others I have seen. It will not jam and feeds very smooth.

Some people at borned idiots.

You need to carry and MSDS for lead in your pocket every time you go there. When someone like that comes up give them a copy. They need an education on LEAD.

I use to make and sell 10 cavity bullet molds, about 20 molds every week for 5 years. I sold my last bullet mold in 1991.

I have 10 blank molds that I can machine to any caliber I want so I need...

If the nose is not shaped right the bullets will not feed.

Also you need to file the sharp edge off on the clip where the lead bullet feeds out. The sharp edge is not a problem on copper bullets...

A 280 mm Howitzer is cumbersome so why does the military have those. I am not talking about taking out moving targets, airplanes, tanks, armor vehicles. NO war is won with just 1 type of weapon. I...

Hay.....you guys are missing the whole point. You know how the men in the field can call in artillery support. Artillery needs to know the location of the enemy so the guys in the field call it...

I learned something very interesting about German Tiger Tanks on the Military TV channel. I love to watch the old WWII videos. They learned later in the war that a German Tiger Tank could be taken...

I read online maximum down range distance for an artillery shot is to shoot it at a 60 deg angle. I know artillery uses different angles to put the shot where they want it. World record sniper kill...

Read the defination of the law, it says AP ammo is Full Metal Jacket or Core.

The bullets I was shooting are full metal steel jackets copper plated on the outside with NO core inside. I dip them...

I did a web search and found this. http://www.recguns.com/Sources/IIG1.html

According to the law AP ammo is the bullets ONLY, not the loaded ammo.

It also says,ok to OWN AP ammo
ok to SELL...

How can this be the laws of physics have not changed. If velocity is the same 1152 fps in both cases how can one have more energy than the other. Both bullets weights and same velocity the same no...

Are AP bullets legal to have?

Are they legal to target shoot?

I bought some AP full metal jackets about 30 years ago. They are jackets only with no lead inside. I fill them with lead myself. ...

I buy bees wax from one bee keeper and his wax is as hard as a pine board.

Scrap metal yards are not metallurgist. They buy scrap metal that is all they do.

After my bullet mold gets hot I drop the bullets directly into a 5 gallon bucket of room temperature water. Wheel weight lead is 4% antimony lead it takes about a week to heat treat. I dry the...

Lets assume a person is going to reload 9mm, 38/357, 45 acp and 30 caliber carbine. This is a wide range of velocities. Does a person use the same lead for all these bullets? Does a person use the...
