Plumber's lead, if you can find it, is as close to pure as it can get. If you can put a visible scratch in a piece of lead with your thumbnail, call it pure.

Just for jollies, I stopped in at...

Pacific Super Deluxe C bought mid '63. (This is the one that gets used.)
Lee reloader bought the week that press was introduced. (sizing and priming)
Lyman 310 in half a dozen calibers. (In a...

Stop off at your local drugstore and purchase a small bottle of their house brand Milk of Magnesia. Shake it up and use a Q-tip to apply a drop on the threads of the bolts. M-of-M is the best,...

I have no scientific data to share, but I do have some experience.

I have an Inland Carbine which I got as a beardless youth in about 1963 through the DCM. I have shot many thousands of rounds...

After you determine exactly what diameter round ball you need, begin a relationship with this gentleman in faraway exotic England:

I have that mold as well. I use the boolits from it as cast, tumbled with Lee Mule Snot in my #4, my Krag, and when I still had 'em my Arg. Mausers. They all liked it. As I used it as a plinking...

My beater is a Chilean Steyr Mauser M1912/61 NATO in 7,62x51. For some unknown reason these were sold about ten years ago for pocket change. I paid $35 for mine. It looks for all the world like a...

Unless you just like to do it for the sake of doing it, reloading Berdan cases is not worth the effort. The best way is like as already been suggested. Find a scrap dealer who will buy it or trade...

I've had excellent results over the years with short lengths of copper tubing of suitable diameters although the air hose crimp ferrules are nice.

Everone's situation is different. I have at least 30 molds, not many by some standards, a huge number by others. The most cavities I have in any one mold is two. I am not in the bullet business so...

A good friend was a Lt. in the Soviet Army in WWII. He said he ordered his men to find a fist sized rock and keep with them at all times when armed with a M-N. After a few rounds in battle...

I've been buying and using Lee dies and equipment for thirty plus years and all the problems I've had have turned out to be operator error as have the problems I've read about on the web.

Most people fry their bacon too hot. Med-Low to Low heat and a little patience will do the trick. Sometimes I press the odd slice that wants to curl up too much with the pancake turner. I also...

You're not going to like my advice.

Chuck the PRVI brass into the nearest GI can and get some once fired GI '06 brass. Pull the expander ball from your FL size die and form the '06 to 7.65x53mm,...

I had one of the little Guardia Civil M1916's for several years. I was a bit concerned about firing full power civilian .308 Win. in it so being a bit of a candy ass, I simply used it for cast loads...

I've been shooting, casting and handloading for my M94 Winchester since the early 1960's and have been reading about the supposed danger of pointed bullets setting off the primer in front of 'em...

Bah, yer all nuts!:veryconfu

A 200 - 220 grain boolit at 1600 or so out of my M1922 Krag Carbine will kill anything in N. America about as dead as it can get. A 130 gr. Boolit at 1300 will take...

I use the Lee C312-185R for the .303 Brit in my 91-30. I double tumble 'em and shoot 'em unsized and unchecked over 1cc of Unique. I get about 4"-5" at 100 yds. Try the minimalist approach before...

Something else you might look for is Long Branch arsenal parts. Savage and LB swapped parts as needed to keep production up. My '43 LB #4 has a Savage magazine and barrel bands. I got it unfired...

My .30 carbine boolit is the old Lee C 309-130R in wheelweight metal. I shoot 'em unsized, unchecked and double tumbled with Lee Mule Snot. 12 gr 2400 gets 'em to 75 yds toot sweet in clusters...

What you have is not "LEAD" !! Lead is an element, symbol: Pb, atomic number 82, 621.43 deg.F Why people insist on calling anything silvery colored they can melt at home "LEAD" is beyond me. ...

I have a cheap Enco micrometer and a pretty good Mitutoyo. Both read the same when I measure things. The Enco cost about $6 on sale, the Mitutoyo was about $130. A cheap dial caliper costs about...

Buck and ball was a useful load in the long ago for military purposes when the strategery was to shoot at a tightly packed line of advancing soldiers. For a single target it materially degrades the...

It was a company in Portland, Or. And yes, it was an air polymerizing epoxy coating containing molybdenum disulfide. Basically a very thin paint. It was inconvenient to apply and expensive. It...

The area I hunt is a busy place with the owner operating a gravel pit, as well as running a few dozen head of beef cattle. Guys are driving and walking all over the place all year. It is also...
