Ordered a few too. Pretty steep discount and free shipping! The free shipping almost paid for one of the molds. Thanks for the info OP!

Thanks Gary and the rest for the replies to a miss category post. Was hoping some might be a “solder” with high tin content. Not the case I see and it will be rendered soon as soft lead for my uses. ...

Anyone recognize these? Wondering if they are pure lead or have some other ingredients. Going to render them into ingots soon. They oblong donut shaped one says “DUTCH BOY HANDY INGOT…” can’t make...

Finished rendering COWW, Pewter misc, and some misc scrap. Two days and two evenings, finally done. Made a good little pile.

Got 11 pounds of Red Dot in its original (15# I think) cardboard container a few years back. Was marked 1977. It had been stored in a basement un-touched for at least 35 years. Looked fine, smelled...

I’ve acquired 2 Lyman, 2 RCBS, 1 Saeco, 1 NOE, 1 M&P and probably a half dozen LEE. Some bought new, some used. Don’t have a set for every mold, not planning to either. Like to have what fits...
Beretta M9, purchased new 10-12 years ago. Slugs at .3575. I’ve found .358 cast shoot acceptable. These are powder coated and left unsized. Haven’t done a lot of load testing or accuracy trials....

Nice! As stated my thoughts were my area and what I see in like condition. Wasn’t an offer to buy or “low ball” anyone. If the OP is selling I wish him luck getting top dollar.

Roadie is correct. The forearm latch is right behind the front sling swivel stud. Remove the forearm moving this latch. Barrel will then come off by twisting. Look on the barrel, it will have a...

Pre war. Pistol butt tells me it’s a “99G”. “Shooter” for sure. Around here at gun shows it would have $500 on the tag and bring $400 or so. That’s my opinion based on what is see in pics and at...

Savage 99’s are great rifles. Lots of them out there in various models and condition. The 250-3000 has become heavily sought after by collectors and shooters. It was designed for an 87g bullet. All...

Mines reliable with everything so far except Aguilar SE Standard Velocity. It hates that round. Changed out front sight too. For me it still shoots a bit higher than I’m used to. Neat pistol, I like...

Thanks. Going to put those two colors on my list for next order. Really like the look!

Off topic but I have to ask, what are those bullets coated with, PC? Very cool looking!

Sometime in the 1990’s or very early...

We used Coleman Fuel in place of lighter fluid in our hand warmers years ago. It worked fine. Nostalgic thinking about that now. Haven’t seen one of those warmers in years.

Nice work. Glad you found what temp the mold likes.
Are you mixing equal parts of the red/blue with the white to get satisfactory coating? I have some powder that when used by itself is...

Thanks all. Doesn’t sound like I’ll have to take anything apart if it’s just threaded into the pot. I’ll look at it again tonight or tomorrow night. At work now. Was in a rush to get things cleaned...

I’ve been fighting with flow using my new to me RCBS Pro Melt. The flow will dump lead in one pour, drip lead the next, then pour correctly. No matter how I adjust it just will not pour consistently....

I’m 53. Have been a “scrapper” since I can remember. Copper, aluminum, steel, mercury, etc..., and of course lead. Been a source of extra income in good and bad times through the years. Until...
