I picked this up yesterday, and I have to admit, it's pretty cool. However, it's still going in the melt pile.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180313/ae13eb5ad7053c6174092bda4a4f0c29.jpg

Duh...I'm so used to thinking of lead temps, the thought of something NOT cast iron totally escaped me. Thanks!

For smelting pewter in small quantities, would something like this Lyman pot do the trick? It's supposed to hold 10 lbs of lead, so by my rough calculations, that's a pot volume of 1.66 cups. My...

I haven't had much luck scouring the local Goodwill stores for pewter. Today, however, that changed.
The six goblets weigh in at a total of 1 lb and are marked "Genuine Pewter". The tray comes in...

Nice! I've scored quite a bit of lead from CL.

Posted in the pewter pics thread earlier. These were my finds today, the marked plate is 1lb 9 oz and the unmarked dragon is 9 oz. I THINK the dragon is good, but not 100% sure. Even if it's not, at...

Coated some today with Smoke's John Deere Green. I'm pretty happy with this batch; not too thick and goopy, but still have good coverage. I'll size them tomorrow.

I'll just chalk this one up as a learning experience. I still got a lot of good boolits and learned not to alternate molds of different types. Good stuff!

Yesterday, I was casting some 200 gr 45 SWC with an RCBS mold and 125 gr 358 RNFP with a Lee. Both are 2 cavity molds. What I found was the RCBS produced 100% with no rejects, however, the Lee...

Technically, they were the first of my own boolits I've ever shot, 200 gr SWC in 45 ACP cast from range scrap. I was pleasantly surprised with the reduction in smoke between these and traditionally...

Thanks for the info, that mold is coming from Amazon today and I wanted to give it a go in both 357 plinkers and 9mm.

I cast & coated some 200 gr 45 SWC tonight. I was trying a few different techniques to remove excess powder. I need to find a happy medium as I thought my first ones yesterday were too goopy & thick...
