View Full Version : Best price on Cerrosafe?
Buffalo Arms (http://www.buffaloarms.com/browse.cfm/4,1143.html) has the best price I've found so far for Cerrosafe. Anybody know of a better price?

Wow, that is cheap! Even cheaper than with my discount at Brownells. Good find!

Rotometals sells the same stuff minus the pretty chocolate bar mold for $14 a pound...
I found it. At first I did not because I searched for cerrosafe. I found it under bullet casting alloys as chamber casting alloy.
Thanks Ima!

No problem. I should have included a direct link. Here it is for anyone else interested...

Jim, go to your local garden centre or hardware store and buy a pound of sulphur (sulfur). It does a fine job.
I take it no one uses sulphur anymore?
Never heard of using sulphur for a chamber cast. Teach me.

Plug the bore as you would any other way. GENTLY melt the sulphur. Don't breathe in the fumes. Most unpleasant. Pour melted sulphur into chamber. Let it set for 30 seconds or a minute. Push out with a cleaning rod (might take a stout rap on the rod handle) and measure IMMEDIATELY before it shrinks. Works a treat.
'Preciate the tip. Might have to forego that method. I can cast Cerrosafe in the gunroom in the house. As yet, we don't have any outbuildings, so no other place to do that.

The down side on sulfur is that it melts well above the boiling point of water and it is flammable.
