Just found a couple old Lyman molds at my local shops used stuff table.

One is #323470b and one is that .357 swc with the pin that goes in the nose.

How the heck do you get these old steel...

Thanks for the replies . . . I guess my main concern is Zinc. I can recognize the steel for sure. I guess I could always just stick to known lead and forget about trying to recover shot . . .

Does...

Thanks for the "polite" attitude scottfire1957 . . . I should have just asked my wife :/

I'm simply trying to find out if any manufacturers use anything other than lead or steel as shot. I want to...

OK so I frequently pick up shot shells that people drop in the canyons by my house. If they are NOT steel shot, can I assume they are normal lead? I just don't know if manufacturers have messed with...

Hey Dutch, I know this thread has not seen any activity for 2 years but if this CD is still available, I'd love to get one if you have the time.

As a pastor, I love them all ;) But, I must say that I really like the modern praise and worship Christian bands. My oldest son runs our praise and worship team and really brings down the house with...

.30-06 Military to 7.7 Japanese and 7.65 Argentine Mauser.

Now I'm using 6.5x54 MS brass to make 7.62x45 for my VZ-52 "She" rifle. While making the 7.62x45, I learned about reaming the inside of...

Gun show this weekend . . . not the best show but a show none-the-less! Gotta find some 500gr cast bullets for my Trapdoor. I'm a tunnel vision kind of guy.

That really sucks. I have a brother-in-law who blew out his knee 20 years ago and got SSD in a pinch. He has had his knee replaced, rides a Harley and even coaches HS football but STILL gets the...

Thanks again for the posts. I just can't afford to buy the Berry's bullets anymore so I gotta cast my own. I don't mind casting and have done so with my .30-30. I'm just used to starting lower with...

OK so I'm fairly new to casting. I've had good luck with casting for my '94 Winchester in .30 WCF so now I'm wanting to cast for my Springfield 1911 in .45 auto.

My question is, with a hand gun...

Ok so I don't have enough posts on the site to post a "straight shooter" for waltham41 but we had an awesome trade and he shipped me exactly what he described!!

So I just thought I would post in...

48 but who's counting!

Got all my Dad's old stuff from the 60s and 70s . . . why not use it :-o

Thanks Molly. I'm new to all this so the KISS method is best for me :mrgreen:

I have a local metal recycler here so I'll just hit him up about maybe an exchange. So what specifically should I ask...

LOL! Yeah, that would be great wouldn't it. I've been carting around this 75 pound ingot of "junk" for 15 years!

Hmmmm, I could sure use 40K right now! :redneck:

Molly, so I cut a 2"x2"x1/4" strip and dropped a couple of drops of Muriatic Acid on it and it foamed wildly for about 15 seconds, turned the metal black and then settled down slowly. Sorry, I read...

I was just about to melt a pot down some time back and my wife came running in and stopped me. It was worth $100 on ebay so we sold it.

I check everything by the names on the bottom now before I...

OK, so I cut about a 2" strip off the end of the ingot shown in my post above. I cut it with my Craftsman 12" bandsaw with a coarse blade. It cut fairly easy but I could not go real fast.

It is...

This has been a very interesting read. I've been wondering how hard this ingot is that I have. I've been carting it around for many years thinking I would get started in casting my own boolits.
