I agree that it is done sort of oxidation but the dust is so fine and copious that it looks like a heavy metal contamination hazard. And as stated none of my other boolits look like these
...

I'm reorganizing my casting area. Most of my cast boolits look normal but there is one batch of large 45-70 boolits that developed a super fine coating of 'dust'. It is so fine that if I rub the...

I would have a hard time buying a new one when used ones are all over the place.

Heck I just looked on Facebook marketplace and besides a few in the $30 range there is a double burner for $50 that...

I did a cursory look and I guess the answer is hell no, but I figure I would ask anyways.

you make anodes with them. Outboard boat motors, crab pots, basically anything made of metal that gets submerged, specially in salt water, can use an anode. When the anode is connected to the...

I'm considering getting an Air Venturi Avenger in .22 caliber. It has a 180cc air cylinder that can take 4,351 PSI of pressure. How annoying is it to use a hand pump to keep it full?

One more question... I just got the rifle in the mail. The focus is not maintained when I zoom, it has to be adjusted significantly depending on which level you are on. Is this a defect or just low...

How about a mold for .22 slugs? Apparently this rifle can shoot some of them fairly well.

I don't know about that. The list of nicer rifles I want are a lot louder ;)

My end goal was to get a decent tool for vermin and plinking, and I'm hoping this one is it. The next step above this...

I picked a gamo fusion. The ability to use the fixed sighs closed the deal. I guess the noise dampening is a nice torch. For my purposes of plinking and small vermin control it ought to suffice,...

Why would it be better to buy instead of casting? I'm already setup for casting and I'm pretty good at it.

I must admit, I'm not familiar with air rifles and I'm just beginning to research them. I'm still debating whether to get .177 or .22. I want it for plinking and small vermin.

Can I do better for...

Nope. He meant $150 a pound. That way he can tell the wife he tried.

That's what you get for not melting it the second it came into the house ;)

This right here. It would be as hard as anybody would want it, beyond that you get bullets that start shattering on impact with anything hard. If you push into magnum territory you need to start...

I already have molds for 10~12 downriggers, doing them with sand casting or two halves would actually be harder than sorting out the use of the molds with finesse. Heck for the bullet jigs the molds...

I have cast 12-pounders myself, very inefficiently and somewhat ugly. The secret is very hot molten lead and the reason I have avoided your friend's fate is because of my impatience to wait for it to...

I imagine a logical extension to casting boolits is to look at casting fishing weights so I'm hoping to get some pointers from those that cast the bigger stuff, 3+ pounds.

I have been working on...

That's a bit better.

.44 and above you can't find anything anywhere that cheap plus I don't powder coat so even paying for lead it is ridiculously cheap. Heck if you look at the uncommon sizes...

I'm sorry but what you are saying makes no sense. Basically if you have to pay for lead that would make boolits cost you under .03 cents each you rater not do it and just buy precast boolits at 4 to...

Lino can be found for $2 a pound here, soft lead for about $1, with shipping via flat rate priority mail boxes making it a pretty good deal. A pound of lino plus 3 pounds of soft lead is about $5 and...

I have melted a few of those. Always neat to spot them.

I think if I was selling lino letters it would move faster... I do have a few buckets of those. Now that I'm not about to hurt for linotype anytime soon I may pack a few of those to see if there is...

But overthinking it is half the fun! :}

I figure eventually I'll get rid of just part of it so I can finance this impulse buy. I prefer to recast what I use myself into the 2# Cast Boolits/Redneck...

Oh, I have 0 doubt of this being lino...

These were the machines they were being used on:

272162

And the linotype machine operator, who still uses one of the machines for rubber stamps, was...

I seriously doubt that a significant number of folks selling some lino are doing that...



Is the same, meaning that we can stuff flat rate priority mail boxes for the same prices everybody else...
