I just had 5 more 2 cavity Lees delivered to my door for $19.98 each and added them to my dozen or so 2 and 6 cavity Lee molds. Never had any issues other than my urge to cast too fast and frost...

Have 5,000 Cheddite 209's arriving tomorrow for $45/1,000 delivered to my door...so $4.50 per 100. I was already stocked up to the hilt on #11 caps, musket caps, and centerfire pistol/rifle...
All this time with two '51 Navy sidearms in my toy box and I never knew I was appreciating The Battle of Campeche. Thanks!

I just use a conical mold made for the purpose but as long as you make sure the cylinders are properly sealed after loading, it should be safe. Really depends on cylinder vs mold dimensions. If you...

I know a guy that swore by using steel wool wrapped around a bore brush chucked in a drill to de-lead revolver barrels! If you create a brushed or satin finish, you have removed metal which is not...

When I first read this post I thought, "Dang! here we go with a double charge waiting to go off!" But, after cooling off a little before replying, I thought in these days and times, our rubber bands...
Bet the mold is way to hot. The tip of that bullet is likely located in the handle slot area of the mold and is less capable to wick away heat. Wait 3 or 4 seconds after the sprues freeze, before...

If you want to make a tasty treat, bone the meat, mix with some pork fat, season and grind into sausages. Put 32 up one day like that. Of course it helped that I worked in a meat market of a small...
