Where could a fellow find a brass drum?

Bought one of these and set it up to load 223 on my LCT press. After much fiddling I started loading using H4895 and measuring every 5th round. Target was 25 gr. The largest variance was 2/10 ths...

Melted down the last of the wheel weights I had on hand. Got about 65 lbs of lead and only 25 pounds of zinc and steel and junk. Felt pretty good about it Just wish I had another 4-500 pounds...

I hadn't thought about looking at the chamber for dry fire damage. Thanks for the tip.

Found one in a pawn shop in better than decent condition for a decent price and brought it home. Have put 20 rounds through it and it functions beautifully and is accurate enough for squirrels. it...

Sized and lubed 500 452-230TL bullets.

Still have a jug of WC844 and since I don't compete in NRA high power any longer, I'm looking for other ways to use it. I have a couple hundred 7.62X39 brass cases and so started looking for some...

Melted about 150 pounds of WWs this AM. Ended up with about 90 lbs of lead and 60 lbs of zinc and steel. Less and less lead in every batch I do.

This afternoon I spent a couple of happy hours at my bench turning out my very first 9MM boolits. I used a Lee 125 RN TL mold and the boolits look great, no issues with the casting. The results...

Cast 10 230 grain 45s just to use up a few cartridge cases I found and about 300 125 grain (actually averaged 128) 9mms. Need to cast about 600 more to match the 900 or so 9mms I have on hand ready...

My wife has been a shooter since before we got married over 49 years ago. Her carry gun is an NAA 22 mag and she shoots it better than I can. Her hunting rifle is a model 96 sporterized Swede...

Dusty, thanks for the SP primer reminder. I check em all to make sure.

I do tumble lube Lube first, size then relube, seems to work OK.

Rancher, as a younger man I dove Macks occasionally To QA the work of my mechanics. Lately though just Fords and Dodges, sorry ;-)

Well I have been melting WWs and casting Boolits for a few years now but I am not nearly as deep into the techniques and methods as many who post here. Some of the regulars here should write books...

Thank you gentlemen, appreciate the replies.

I just finished casting 150 Boolits for my 1911. Used the Lee round nose tumble lube mold and wheel weights. Weighed ten of them with the average weight being 236 gr. Is this about right for WWs?
