A shop air-tool hose works great for propane or natural gas with the correct adapters. If it's only 50-75 ft from the nearest natural gas, I would probably just do that since I already have that...

Sometimes, I think we just get ADD as we get older... Sometimes I'll get as far as buying the parts for a project, but it might be a year before I get around to using them (assuming I remember...

If it is for kids, load them with a couple of grains of a fast pistol / shotgun powder (e.g. Red Dot, Clays, etc) and let the kids shoot them as basically a single shot / bolt action where they have...

Some of our brothers were killed over there and some were killed there, but just didn't know it at the time. They thought they made it out alive, only to find out nearly 50 years later that they had...
Put a grain or two of powder in the case and then a wad of paper towel over the powder. Tamp it down snugly and fill the rest up with wax. At that velocity, the wax is likely to become wax powder...

If you are really concerned with the fumes, build yourself a "fume hood" and route the exhaust through some ductwork out the door. That should keep any lead dust contamination or fluxing fumes...
From reading the 16 (so far) pages of this thread, it seems to come across like the OP wanted to buy the FCD and was looking for justification for doing so. :)

Last time I bought, they were around $7-8 per 500-round brick. Wal-Mart and K-Mart frequently had sales on bricks to try to get people to buy them and their was tons of it on the shelves. I just...

I saw on Craigslist the other day someone wanting to sell an 8-lb keg of Varget for $330 and another wanting $275 for it. That just seems a bit ridiculous to me. I've never used Varget and at that...
