I built exactly what you are talking about. I used a 6' long piece of 2"x 10" aluminum tubing and capped both ends. In the middle of the length of tubing I welded a aluminum pipe fitting so that I...

I made a genuine effort a few years back when we could not even find 22 ammo to try to stockpile lead. I decided to placed an add in a local publication for a month stating that i was looking to buy...

Hi Lathesmith. I would like to order a size die, PM sent

NRC is an abbreviation for Nuclear Regulatory Commission???????? Maybe some sort of radiation shielding????????

I love the camera and monitor idea for viewing the beam pointer better, will have to do that for myself.

I have had and tried at least 6 beam scales and when digital scales came out I had to try...

Hi all, a friend gave me a 5 pound spool of Perma Bond PS-95 solder. I did a internet search for it but did not receive any hits. Does anyone know what the chemistry of this might be. The outer layer...

Go on McMaster Carr website and find elevator bolts. Several variations available.

I started with ladle pour and a colman stove with good results although it was slow. A year or two later stepped up to a bottom pour furnace and never looked back. Eventually purchased a second...

There is a seller on evilbay with a jig for cutting 308 type cases. I purchased one for making 45acp shot shells. I had to modify it slightly to allow it to cut short enough for the intended purpose,...

I would do the muriatic acid test. I did a experiment a while back where I intentionally melted a very small amount of zinc into known pure lead. I believe it was about 2 lbs of lead and about 1/4...

I started processing range scrap a while back and have found the same as you with unrecovered lead remaining in the dross and jackets. I have a large re-melter and when I accumulate a 5 gal bucket of...

No fluxes or anything else. If you would want to pm me with a phone number I would take a picture or two and send them to you of my set up. Holding the antimony under the surface with the perf plate...

Hi lathesmith, Youngtimer again. I would like to order a star die @ .355. PM sent

Adding antimony is not difficult. It took me a while to figure out how to do it though. I measure out the weight of antimony I want to add based on the weight of lead I wish to alloy. I melt the lead...

For the last 11 years I opened a door exactly like that one about 100 times a shift X-raying piping joints in a concrete booth. Good find.

And I thought I hit the jack pot getting 3 ten pound tin ingots at a auction for $28. WOW good for you.

I did a fair amount of silver soldering years ago and we would solder the small pieces together to use 100% of it due to the high cost. It came in several shapes, round, square, rectangle and to the...

This is some great info. Thank you.

Can someone refresh my memory??? Many years ago I read an article about adding various alloys to the melt and the effect it has on the as cast finished diameter of boolits. I pretty sure I read this...

This is great information. I have been casting the hard way for a long time. While following this process for opening up cavities a few thousandths I have seen the light on how to get my boolits to...

Hi Lathesmith. I would like to order a star die at .402" along with a custom project. PM sent.

Thanks to all who responded, there is a lot of good information in the posts. Maybe I can negotiate a good price and have a steady supply if it all works out.

Think I will need to get my hands on a few hundred pounds and give it a try to see what the return is (labor and cost) compared to WW.

It is sitting in drums or barrels at the range. All I need to do is pick it up, but the more I think about it the more concerned I am becoming with frangible bullets or other unknown bullet material...

Anyone using range lead run into any non lead environmentally friendly material mixed in???? I was thinking of offering .25 to .30 a pound. Maybe Ill obtain one or two hundred pounds and see how much...
