How do you differentiate one from the other?
Will,
You're the best. You did a fantastic job. Can't wait to use it again. Thank you once again, so very much.
Steve
Will,
You're unbelievable! According to the post office, you weren't supposed to receive it until today (Tuesday). If there is ever anything I can do for you, just ask. You are an amazing person....
Thanks Will,
I will try to get this mold off to you tomorrow. Thanks so much,
Steve
Tell me about it! What a guy! I am taking him up on his very generous offer.
Wiljen,
This sounds too good to be true. I have the 6 cavity mold unlike the one you show in the above link. Do I have to put in a screw when you drill/tap your hole and if so what size screw? If...
Wiljen, You're kidding, right? I didn't read anything about securing the bolt on the sprue plate in the Leementing thread and I haven't leemented the mold at all, just used alcohol and blackened the...
I don't have a drill press, or even a vise. Would the liquid blue thread lock work?
My sprue plate keeps coming loose when I bang the sprue off of it or just opening and closing the sprue plate. I am using my Lee 6 cavity mold and the top bolt keeps coming loose. Am I alone in...

Well it took almost 24 hours but my lube has hardened to the point that it won't pour, and that's a good thing. It's like Jello. Thanks for all the help.

Hey Bob, When did you stop tumble lubing and start dipping?
Forum: Boolit Lube !
Here is what I just did. I poured my liquid mix back into a pot and placed it on my presto grill for 25 minutes this time (at 350) and I am waiting for it to cool. Hopefully when it has cooled it...

So are you saying that I can still save this by cooking it off some more even though all the ingredients have already been mixed in?
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I cooked it for over 15 minutes on my presto grill (at 350 degrees) and I didn't think that I used too much mineral spirits at all. I actually thought I used too little and/or too much JPW.
Forum: Boolit Lube !
OK so I just made up a new, larger batch and it came out just the opposite. It is staying as a very loose liquid. It is at room temperature and I must have screwed up somewhere. I have it outside...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I bought a pot from the thrift store but once the stuff cooled it solidified and is not liquid at all. It is very hard and won't pour. Did I get my ratio screwed up? I cooked the JPW for 20 min on a...

Recluse, How do I clean up the mess that I made? I have a wax coated funnel, a pot that I don't think I will be able to get clean again and other utensils that are coated with the stuff. Is there any...

How about powdered graphite, would that work? [smilie=b:

Is there a way to eliminate the static cling which makes the smokeless powder stick to the plastic on the lee funnel and other plastic products?
Thanks, Steve

I am referring to small pistol primers. Does it make that big a difference to use CCI, Winchester, Federal, etc? This is for my 9mm's. I can understand needing so many different powders for your...
