I just picked up another Saeco lead tester. It’s an all steel unit. My other one has an aluminum body. They read about a half hash mark off from each other. The steel one looks old. Maybe the springs...

I think I may get some pencils for testing. Even wheel weights have changed over the years and roofing lead seems more brittle than in the past.

I agree, my linotype may be well used. There’s a snap ring to take it apart. I think there’s a spring in there I can replace. I called Redding, who took over these testers. But they stated they won’t...

By reading low it appears to read linotype around 18-20 Brinell. I do question the quality of these metals. I have a friend that might be able test also. I need to go thru my lead stash. I should...

Has anyone calibrated one of these? Seems to read low.
I assume I would need several test slugs of known hardness.
On the low scale I have dental X-ray foil.
On the high side I have linotype in...

MP has .678 round ball molds. Gonna be over $100 to my door tho. Looks like this is the size mold for regular wads. I have the Lyman .735 but like the idea of using shot cups. Will use for smooth and...

Longbow,
Did you see a YouTube video on a reloader sizing the Lee .690 round ball down to fit the thicker wad petals? Not sure if he sized them down to .662 or not. Looked like it sized about a...

I too have been waiting years on this barrel for a drill rifle.
Looks like it shipped today with a notification. Wish my drill rifle looked as good as this barrel will.
I gave up ordering head...

The battery powered feeder with timer seems plausible.
Set to feed around noon and five. My raccoons can get into anything so will have to shield the feeder.

I need to find a way to feed them, but keep the raccoons and possums out of the feed.
Any ideas out there?

I’m still on the fence ordering one of these presses.
Is Lee updating the press to correct issues with it since first sold?
Is the primer system reliable?
Are the die’s located too close together...

I will take these. Pm sent

I’m probably over thinking it but would like to do it right instead of buying more molds than I need.
Slower burning surplus powders used to be a bargain and primers are high but it would be more...

Thanks all!
NOE has some heavy spire point molds. Would a no lube grove design be better with powder coat?
Some of these boolits may have to be seated too deep in the case. Gas checks well below...

Thanks Larry,
I saw some heavier 8mm molds and was hoping the 240 grain would cycle the action better?
A side benefit may be less powder used and no gas checks with powder coat. My semi autos seem...

A club member is asking for recommendations on casting for these two FA MG’s.
Both in 8mm. He will be using .30 LC converted cases and try to use cast in them.
Anyone have experience with this?
I...

I will take both silver solders

I would like a box of .40 too please

Thanks all!
I have a credit at a metal supply vendor and was going to buy some sheets now and worry about the check maker later. I should probably just make them on the lathe, but am backed up. ...

I wonder if there were any group buy molds made in the past?

Can anyone recommend a 8mm mold, 200g or higher in 5+ cavities. Would prefer no lube groves but with a gas check. Would be used in semi auto 8mm Mauser rifles. Thanks
