I wear heavy clothes and boots. I learned the hard way to not do this. I quench so there's always water close by.

I've had good luck powder coating range lead for pistol and wheel weights for moderate rifle loads (2000-2400 fps)

Knightflyer,

Thanks for checking this out!

I have a relative who is a dentist and has a bunch of these lead (composite?) radiation shield aprons in a scrap pile but it sounds like the gain in lead is not worth the trouble. Bummer.

Good suggestions but doesn't drilling and tapping the Lee aluminum mold require a drill press?

So....what's the general feeling these days about shooting the Saeco 180 gr. #354 bullet in the Ruger GP-100? Most loads I see for this heavy bullet is for rifles and most comments are a few years...

Does anyone still cast the 180 grain Saeco #354 for revolver? I didn't see any recent posts. Have heavy bullets fallen out of favor?
Also, any good sources for loading data for this bullet for...

I have a question, what would a bucket of dental lead shielding weigh and how would you extract it from the flexible lead apron that dentists use? I suspect that a bucket of that "lead" would not...

And, of course, some dentists still use lead shielding for x-rays but I've not seen anything published about reclaiming dental photo lead.

Then, there is the lead that comes from skeet and trap ranges...hard stuff....but iron shot occasionally gets mixed in (don't ask me why, I don't know, unless waterfowl hunters are tuning up for the...

That said, I know of a range that is used for muzzle loaders only so that range lead may be nearly pure lead.

I think the problem with the question of how many pounds of lead in a 5 gallon bucket is that it varies from year to year and state to state. For example, some states (like Washington State) are...

I paid $295 for a near new Star Lube Sizer. Worth every penny!

I really appreciate the photos of (apparent?) Keith bullets. I have several RCBS molds that have KT following the number that are supposed to be true Keith designs, but I think they may have been...

Does anyone besides Magma make/sell Star size punches?

Compared to some handles, I first thought the H&G handles were not as well made...BUT, they are much more comfortable to use than others I've used. Very well thought out and engineered pieces of...

This is a great thread discussion. I've learned very much. Keith molds are wonderfully made. It's a part of history. But a very useful one.

In my experience, Lee 6 cavity mold handles will not fit the RCBS two cavity mold, in spite of what is claimed on eBay.

Ebay advertisers claim that the cheap Lee 6-cavity handles will fit the RCBS double cavity mold but I have no experience with this. Worth checking out.

The Lyman 450 "wishbone" handle can be replaced with a new stronger version (similar to the one used on the 4500) for about $39 or so. Call Lyman Customer Service and ask them. They have a special...
