As usual, the community comes to the rescue! Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I'm about to give this guy a call but before I do I figured I would check in with the experts. Have you ever seen linotype like this before?

For the price even if it isn't...

Feel free to check my posting history if you care to know the history of my issues with powder coating.

I did exactly as you suggested Gohan, but I got the same results. Other than the BBs, nothing I've done has really helped. I'll get some Harbor Freight red powder and follow up when I'm done with...

I will try the Cool Whip Container. The #5 I referred to was the type of plastic, which apparently Cool Whip tubs are the same. It can't hurt to try.

I can also try less bullets. I think I had...

I appreciate all the advice. I checked and my container is a #5. I went and picked up some black airsoft BBs from Wally World, and luckily they were on clearance, half off!

So I brought...

Here's the end result of one coat. For some reason I thought baking it would fix things, but obviously not.

Hey everyone,

I did a little experimental casting today with some new molds and just wanted to share my experience for anyone that might care.

I bought a new .38 mold (6 cavity) and 45 mold (2...

You're right, I meant *or* not *and*

I had to cut short my casting session today and was only able to produce 5 pounds of ingots. I was initially pretty bummed, but then I did the math. If their are 7,000 grains in a pound, and I'm...

I was digging through a bucket of old ingots and came across these two ingots. If memory serves me I think I dumped these out from the ingot mold before they had fully cooled.

They have a much...

After being stubborn and thinking I know everything (actually after ruining a whole batch of ww) I finally broke down and bought a rcbs thermometer. Now when I cast I don't have to worry about zinc...

I'm far from an expert but I'm not a newb either. I've always been told to leave at least an inch in the pot. Lately I've thrown in a couple of ingots in the pot when I'm done to keep the pot about...

Hello all,

I go in and out of phases of casting. That means that I learn a lot, and then forget a lot.

I have a guy local to me who is selling linotype for $1 a pound. It is apparently in...

Thanks everyone for the advice!

That's extremely likely. Thanks!

Hmmm, I'll have to ask about that if he responds back. I'd hate to be out the shipping costs, but it's better than a rust bucket.

Unless I'm reading it wrong I think the bid price and buy it now price are the same. Most 586's are going for about $100 more so I think it's a fair price, assuming it's not rusted. Thanks for the...

I'm not sure if this is the correct placement for this question, but it sees the highest traffic and figured I'd start here.

I am posting this with the full faith and credit of the CB community...

Thanks everyone!

I put them in boiling water, with little success. But then added the paint thinner, and it all came right off. The updated picture doesn't do it justice (and reminded me that I...

Hello everyone,

I found these boolits from a guy online at a really good price and had to buy them. He normally molly coats them, but said it wouldn't be a problem to wax lube them. Well they...

try Amerimax 68104. You'll love it, and shouldn't need to heat treat it.

I seat .44's with my lee sizer. I just use thumb pressure and have no issue. Even when I don't get a check on perfectly, the die aligns them and straighten / flattens them out perfectly. As...
