So after seeing all the PID controller threads I was inspired and built on in a old computer case I had laying around. The face of it has a trap door and the PID fit perfectly in the DVD drive slot....

Old Caster thanks for the advice. I used a vice an pushed the pins in a touch and the mold works great now. I cast about 20lbs of lead today into nice shinny 9mm boolits!! Waiting for my lubesizer to...

Blikeseme, I think I am following what you are saying by by the negative connection. The SSR has the terminals labeled A1(+) and A2(-). My intent was to connect the positive lead to A1 from the Guru...

Thanks for the heads up on the opening of the ground. I was joking about using the remote capabilities of the unit. It's kind of hard to cast remotely unless I build me a little robot. HA HA, That...

I have been reading up on the other PID controller threads since I have a Lee 20lb pot that I would like to control. After checking out the options I realized I really already owned a controller that...

Great advice everyone. I will check that out in the morning.
Thanks

I have a RCBS mold and it lists the top punch die for it in an RCBS part number. My understanding is the RCBS and Lyman sizing dies are interchangeable on the Lyman 4500 sizer. Can I use the called...

In the past I have only been casting boolits for my 45 but just purchased a mold for 9mm. I bought an RCBS 9mm-115-RN part number 82026. I cleaned the Oil off the mold with break cleaner before use...

Thanks for the advice guys!!

I melted down some lead bars that according to the patent number on them 208913 these are ingots for typesetting machines. I have no idea of their content but it was nice an clean when I melted them...

This inspired me to make a cake cutter today so I thought I would post some pictures of it. I am cutting a 230 Gr boolit from a lee mold. I used a 454 Casull case and made the rest from junk in my...

Me too, here is a pic of my first batch of Bens Red from today.

I have everything I need except the beeswax which comes on the big brown truck tomorrow. Local craft store wanted $17.99 lb for beeswax and I am not paying that kind of money for it. I need to cast...

I have a 454 casull that fits over a sized boolit but is a little tight so I will figure out how to stretch it out a bit. I will make a plunger for it today.

Ben I did read that one and will be making a punch for sure. I cast only 45acp right now so I need to find a suitable case or tube to use.
I plan on making a batch of the Ben's red to start with. ...

So if I pan lube do you size before lubing? I was thinking if I lubed then ran through the lee sizer it would create nice clean bullets with the groves nicely filled with lube. I have been using...

After looking more closely at this today I don't have much of a gap between the barrel and the breech face. It is a very tight gun. I had a few thoughts, first was just to seat the bullet a little...

I was loading this at 5.2 Grains of Win231 at 1.22 and they worked great in my Dan Wesson CCO. I recently picked up a Springfield TRP and they are to long. I haven't tried how much shorter they need...

So I'm sitting out by the pool today and the dragon flies are hovering around and it came to me that it would be fun to have a micro shotgun and try to blast them out of the air. I started thinking...

About 25 years ago we messed around with these foils and pounded objects into the clay floor in the machine shed on the farm and melted them down and poured all kinds of stupid stuff in these clay...

I was staying at a resort this last week and drove by an pick a part junk yard way out in the boonies in northern Minnesota so I decided to stop and see if he had any WW. He just had started going...

Thanks everyone!

Hello all, I have searched and searched but haven't fount any info on this combination here. My cast boolits weight in at 233-235 grains from WW ingots. I am using a Lee 452-230-TC mold. For now...

The Boolits I am casting are 45. The only lube I have at this point is the Liquid Alox I got with the sizer. Not knowing any better I think I will come to agree that the TL would be messy. When you...
