Thanks but it was the next day I realized I had priced my item too high.
May have to close and restart.
It's tough being a newbie.
Forum: Frequently Asked Questions
Just put my first thread in the Swap.
I put a price in the thread title and want to change it.
How can I do this?
Forum: Completed Deals
I will post better photos later today.
In the meantime the mold is a LARGE bullet that mics out at about .355 at the base.

If anybody knows how to change the thread title/header, let me know.
The price is $850 delivered.
Magma Master Caster in very good condition.
I thought I would expand and cast custom bullets...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I bought one one of these things too.
REALLY should have spared myself the anguish and bought the Dillon for $100 more.
Pay the tax and move on.
Glad you're doing better.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
In my own reloading room at home I have had a Dillon 650, 550 and 2 Square Deal B's.
I now have pared back to just the SDB. I have taken it with me on shooting trips with a portable reloading table....

I wondered if it was just me.
Guess not.

I talked to Magma about the larger pot.
They said the frame on the Mark 5 is smaller so I would have to beef it up for a larger pot.
I will just use it for the smaller caliber bullets and not worry...

A story to illustrate what taco650 said:
I was just starting to shoot my Hawken .50 in competition.
I was horrified when I couldn't hit a huge (we're talking refrigerator sized) cardboard at 100...

This thread is an old one but I wanted to say Magma Engineering customer service is still awesome.
Mark is still there helping people with old and new machines.
I was in the area and I had a chance...

I recently purchased my second Bullet Master.
I have learned already an immense amount of stuff that I didn't know that I didn't know.
Sadly the pot sizes are not the same.
The new to me machine...
I don't know if Magma cuts a cherry or sends it out to a third party but you could call them and ask.

Pewter is your friend.
I find it at thrift stores.
Goodwill seems to be catching on that it is worth more than aluminum.
Go to the small thrifts.

Hard lead with low velocity = leading ing the barrel.
Autos need harder bullets for feed.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
I went on a spree buying "pewter" on eBay.
At least 50% of it was aluminum.
That was after the sellers swore it had a stamp saying pewter on the bottom.
Now I have them send me a photo.
Got into my busy season but I figured I would check in.
The problem turned out to be operator error.
I had carefully, but not carefully enough, drilled out the orifice plate.
Apparently the drill...

Thanks much.
Been out of town for a few days.
I will be back in the shop tomorrow armed with this info.
Will report back to you.
Again thanks!
Forum: Casting Equipment
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Love to get this beast up and running.
Forum: Casting Equipment
It has 8 pins.
It's a plug-in timer.
The part I am concerned about is that there are 3 wires just hanging out near the harness where the timer plugs in.
Do these wires need to be connected to...
Forum: Casting Equipment
Yes it is.
I will check it on Friday.
Off tomorrow.

So back in December I purchased a lot of casting stuff.
In with the other stuff was an old Balisticast machine.
I run a Magma Bullet Master but when it's down (not often) production kind of...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Got to agree with those above.
I don't use Unique but I would have about 4 years ago when I was unable to find anything.
I am thinking we are just around the corner from another fear situation....
Forum: Cast Boolits
You don't say what you are using the rifle for but if you scale back the velocity the softer bullet will expand to the barrel size and your accuracy will go up.
