You can easily determine the volume by filling a measuring cup with water and placing the item in the water and noting how much the water rose. The more accurate the measuring cup, the better.

hello all,

I am pretty new to casting. I have melted down over 300 pounds of range scrap from an indoor range (pistol and rimfire only). Last time I tried to cast with this, I had to add a little...

I keep my pot covered also, but I was adding more lead on top of the pile. It was from an indoor range so i wasn't afraid of water being in it.

I was melting some range scrap this last weekend and a casing with a live primer slipped by me. Thankfully there was no bullet, I heard the pop and started running away. Luckily it was facing up and...

I picked up a bucket yesterday at my tire shop for $10 also. Mine had 86 pounds of COWW. Very few SOWW, 10 pounds zinc and prolly 30 iron. It was a good day. Time to melt them down to sell.

I used a Lyman M die to expand the necks. I only expanded as much as I had to in order to not shave the lead and powder coating off. I sized cause after coating cause the boolits were at .312.

These were full length sized with a redding sizer screwed down all the way and then a little more to allow a cam over of the press.

Ok. I tried 10 rounds. 7 crimped nicely with a light crimp, I can't twist the bullet in the case. The other 3 would never get tight. I pulled the rounds and used 3 different pieces of brass and they...

Hi all. I am new to casting. I have cast up some lee 309-230 boolits and used Smokes powder coating on them. I ran the boolits thru my lee 309 sizer. I am using converted brass that I annealed and...

I have some SOWW that are piling up and was wondering what the fair price was for them. They are unsmelted and I don't plan on taking the time to smelt them down.

Thanks

No text that I can see with my nearly perfect vision. I scratched it with a exacto knife and it peeled up a ribbon of material. I will melt this weekend. I am 95% sure it's pewter. Hope it is, my...

I found these today at the thrift shop. Lady said that they were really neat. I just agreed and didn't tell her their final destination.
6 in all 12.4 oz a piece with the glass knocked out. Paid...

I did about 1 2/3 5 gallon buckets full today, still have 1 1/3 buckets left. I don't know the recovery rate, but I do save the jackets to sell to the scrap yard. The turkey fryer and Dutch oven is...

I looked harder, scraped it with my knife, and it turned yellow under the gray coating. It is really soft brass.

Oh well it was free and I can recycle it with the rest of my brass.

I found a picture holder today while rummaging through my moms old stuff. The little wires bend really really easy. The base and top thread together. The bottom is rougher than I think pewter should...

I assume the little bit of the tip not coated doesn't effect accuracy much at all?

Would tumbling them and them putting them tail down still get coating on the bottom or will it squish out while...

I have this mold also and I am going to powder coat to send them thru my suppressor.

Are you ESPC guys just standing the bullet on the tail? If i do this, will I have a problem with lead in my...

What part of oklahoma?

The biggest excitement was when I was adding more material on top of the floating jackets and seen a live 9mm round go in. I got it out really quick.

I'm not too concerned about water cause this...

My scrap yard here wants $.75 a pound to resell lead to the public. I was on the fence about that price.

I already have lots of range scrap lead that I want to try. I also don't think I could buy...

Thanks for the replies. Now I just have to do the other 3 buckets that are completely full. I didn't realize how much time it took to do a batch.

I was surprised that the 2/3 bucket of range...

Today I finally got out to the garage to smelt some range scrap for the first time. I had the burner set up right in the garage door and a fan blowing out the door with the side door open for fresh...
