Should have read this thread before I tried using a turkey frier to melt a bunch of scrap lead a friend who does salvage gave me. There were a few steel ww’s and recognized a few zinc ones as well. ...

I have just started with the .224. I promised myself I would never try to cast or even reload such a small caliber. Then I saw what happened to the supply of all things reloadable when the virus...

Started reloading in the early 70's and casting followed quickly behind as the only way to afford to shoot back then was to make my own. Shudder to think about the number of rounds I have run...

You fit right in with my problems. Bad back causes the 45 to become an aggravation to carry. I promised myself I would never reload 9mm or 223 because they are just too small and too much...

The timing on this post is way off as it looks like the last post was a couple of years ago. I'm going to ask anyway just in case someone is still looking this over. You certainly can get bad info...

If you are looking for a place to hunt, that is a great way to get onto someone's land. Pigs are really tearing up a lot of property in Texas so a lot of landowners are willing to let you hunt them...

There is something about the 45-70 that is hard to explain. It is just a fun, all round, rifle to shoot. It can be loaded down for fun shooting, or loaded to take care of anything that walks this...

The enemy will never mess with anyone who is not a threat. That means he is doing something right. Will add him and his wife to our prayer list. Please provide an update when he gets he

Many years ago, a T/C in 44 mag. Had a wooden stock and a long barrel. That pistol shot very well. Just broke the skin in my hand from the base of the thumb to the middle of the hand. Could not...

Thanks guys. I can't imagine how many handgun rounds I have cast. Heard a lot about 45 ACP being difficult to get to function reliably, but never had a problem with any of the handgun rounds. ...

Makes sense to use a percentage of the boolit weight to set some sort of quality control. Thanks
Just curious, am I way off by having boolit's that vary by several grains in one casting session. ...

I have cast handgun boolits for a long time, but did not do much with rifle boolits till I read a lot in this forum. Seems rifles can be just as accurate with lead as with copper when done right. ...

Just read where Academy is on the border for bankruptcy. The younger generation is being raised on the computer and you can order anything you want on it. Course the problem is where you can ship...

Didn't have my glasses on. That post was from 2005, sorry.

I've never had RCBS question anything. I tell them the problem and they either send me what I need or have me send the item to them to make it right. In my opinion they have an awesome customer...

I came in pretty frustrated. Have a new RCBS mold and sprue sticks to the plate. Have to pull it off and that is not going to get a lot of casting done. That is pretty much why I spend so much...

I know it is heresy to even mention sprays for molds in this forum. And I have seen several mold makers point out that they do not recommend the spray drop out lubes that are marketed to make...

The police check guns used in a crime, "found" guns, and when someone requests a check. I have seen guns that were listed as stolen go through pawn shops and dealers because they check the people...

Maybe its just me, but it seems like things made 40 years ago just seemed to hold up better. Been using the same RCBS lube-sizer since mid 70"s and the only problem I have ever had was the O ring on...

Don't post much, normally just read what everyone else is posting as most folks in here seem to know a mite more than me.
I've been casting for roughly forty years now and enjoy the shop work as...
