after several replies, I took a few days to decide who "needs" it most. I have made that decision, but for privacy reasons, I will not say who, therefore, the lead is gone.

I've decided that I would jump in and try to give a little back to this casting community that has done a lot for me by helping me learn by answering my dumb questions and offering up advice. :smile:...

I've watched some of the Gov auctions go insanely high. Whats funny is the last group, a 1600 lb crate of 5.56 sold for over 7 grand, while the 60,000 lb dumpster full went for just 3200... man I...

It's a number 4 i believe.

Another vote of confidence here, I've been using them in all I load for. Including ARs, never had any issues with them at all. Buy and stack em deep if you can find them

I had an XD 45, just got rid of it over the summer. I was using, well trying to use the Lee 200 gr SWC mold I had, and initially I have accuracy and leading problems, way more than in my 1911. I...

Sweet, thanks. Now I should be able to run them in a 6.5 Grendel with little major issues? Assuming I get the lead hardness up, GC and the right lube?

yeah, plus you'll be able to make your own bullets IF they ever ban the sell of lead bullets.

Anyone know where I can find 6.5(.264) molds?

I have a Taurus pt1911, I love it. Ive had no problems what so ever with it. The only complaint I really have is with the typ of sights, its more of a personal preferance, but I have grown to not...

Another vote for titegroup

Not sure if this goes here or not but it involves a pistol so lets try it.

Okay, was at the range trying out some new recipes when i got the dreaded pop and no kick of a squib round. Naturally,...

Um, wow, I don't have anything to do with Duke or colt, but I think you kind of made more of then what was warranted based on what Duke tried to do in this post. I can see he's attempting to warn off...

I managed to get a 5 gallon bucket of 112 lbs, a little over half full of lead wheel weights, only found one weight that wasn't lead and it was steel. so I'm pretty happy with that.

BT, whats a set of your .223 swage dies run?

Yep, thats one of the ones I read yesterday, the thing I'm really looking for out of this thread is a good, homemade pan lube recipe. One that doesn't smoke a lot. I'd like to try it out, I've got a...

Been reading through some posts here for the last couple of hours, but I can't seem to find an answer.

Looking for a lube for 45 acp that will work well as a pan lube, can be homemade, can be...

I've been shooting some 45 ACP and 8mm reloads that are at least 20 years old, with no problems

I just started smelting old range lead, so far saw dust is working for me, course, I'm brand new but I decided to use saw dust since the local saw mill will sell it cheap, I got a 25 foot dump...

a dollar a pound is very high, my 3 local yards quoted me between 0.45 and 0.65 per pound.

Yes, harden them by quenching, I was under the impression that cast bullets can soften over long periods of time and that I would need to harden them to use them?

Question,

I've got some old .45 ACP RN cast boolits, probably about 15 years old or so, been stored in an old 50 cal ammo can. Should I heat treat them and then lube/size them or size/lube, then...

Wouldn't there still be some issues with velocities of the .223 loads causing massive amounts of leading in ARs or is that just internet rumor?

I've recent inherited 2 Lyman model 61 furnaces, I cannot seem to find the manuals anywhere for them, I've tried google and even lyman's website and I'm coming up short :(

Can anyone point me in a...

Interested in a set of these. Are you still accepting orders?
