False. This is not true. Easy enough to look up. I’ve been making $65 Morgan silver dollar coin rings for years and the Seceret Service hasn’t shown up yet!!![smilie=s:

I have had good luck estimating the weight of all the pewter in front of me and offering $6 per pound.

What is your opinion of the brand of dies for pistols that offer the most options/profiles for seating stems? RCBS, Lee, Hornady etc…… I have an opinion/idea but am reserving it to hear from the...
Just leave it. If you sell one day take it out then. Just dedicate that set of handles to that mould.

Remove primers unless your going to swage .40 cases to .45 boolits. Then you’ll leave them in. About “baking” to dry. Look at my buddy’s post #15 in this thread. 2 minutes with a hair dryer and brass...

Agreed. I’m surprised muscle memory has not been mentioned here. My dad saw lots of combat in WWII and he learned to rely heavily on it. Whether in distance fighting M1 Garand, moderate range M1...
What are your opinions on cutting the sprue and leaving the last boolit pour in your mould and storing them that way? And if so is it different in steel, brass, aluminum?

Glad folks are getting use of this. Be sure and choose which color you want. It’s a very small box and easy to miss. Some are out of the clear but as another option the transparent blue is easy to...

#68 is no where near the same profile as the 452374. The Lyman “round ball” profile is what won WWII. Lol If it was good enough for Dad it’s good enough for me. Only change I made in his Colt bring...
Almost always wrinkles = cold mould. Tin, solder and pewter will help with mold fill out and flow. Kroil or preservatives used on the mold for storage will burn off with the first pour or two. An...

Wow! I guess I’m in the dark ages still. I like to use the RCBS positive ram prime unit. I have it in one of the stations on my turret press. Loading the tubes is annoying. Lol

Nice find. I too have been looking for the 358393. Missed that eBay post.
