Thanks all for the input, much appreciated!

I have some WWB 240gn JSP's that I'll use to try the Ruger out with. It will be my first time behind the .44 Magnum. If all else fails, my local Wally...

I have a used 7.5" RedHawk currently in layaway that I want to reload for when it's free. I'm mainly interested in mid-range plinking/practice loads to start with, but eventually some low end magnum...

Last time I checked, the local scrap yard wanted $.89/lb for COWW.

I usually use one of the familiar auto parts store grease/grime removers such as "Goop" or "Simple Orange" to get any lead residue off my hands before going inside to use soap and water.

At least you got some. After $400 worth of repairs to my car, I came away empty after asking for some WW's.

I picked up something similar at a yard sale because I thought it was Pewter.:(

Woot! Mine came today! Thanks, Warf.

Awesome job, I'm envious!

I bought the Lee IV ten pounder and definitely should have gotten the 20 pounder.

Mine is not here yet, and some of you guys live farther than me!:( Maybe Monday.

Good score. FWIW pay .60/lb for mine.

Actually these are what I smelt, label and all. My bad.

I have smelted several of the isotope cores like the one in the first pic. I smelt at about 700 deg if my Tel Tru is correct. I haven't noticed the rainbow pattern shown. Iso cores are reputedly...

Even though putting them in the pot the next time I smelted got the ingots out, it still didn't take the shiny material off the cups like I thought it would. Since they were a thrift store buy, I...

Lots of good info in this thread for something that is relevant to my interests also.

What type of burner are you using? Glad you weren't injured.

Mine must have really been soldered in the time it happened to me, as that trick didn't work.

I purchased this to cast for the wife's P238. Can't wait to see it in the mailbox.

Thanks Warf.

This thread makes me think I'll stop looking for a better dutch oven than I now have, or modified propane tank for that matter, and start saving for a #8.

Don't worry folks, I'll keep buying as I can afford it.

I assume you're referring to the smoke and not the dust?

Aren't some of the larger Rowell ladles actually large enough to use as a casting pot?

BTDT! Only way I got mine out, and this was because they were individual cups and not part of a pan, was to throw them in the pot the next time I smelted.

Looks good! I just recently mounted 16 of mine on two long strips of aluminum, eight on each, that are sturdy enough not to bend. I was wondering if the screw heads would pose a problem releasing the...

Ouch! Reminds me of the time I took a pan out of the oven using a slightly damp dish towel.
