I placed a Birthday order with Midway this week for a Lee 4-20 pot, skimmer, ingot mold, flux, Lee hardness tester, and a RCBS Thermometer.
Looks like I'm now truly committed to casting or maybe I should just be committed!
It has been a long wait as I have 4 of the Ranch Dog molds waiting to be heated up. I have 2 of the 45-70's, a 444 and a 357. Wish I could have gotten all of his designs but just caught him to late. I sure would have loved one of the 432/350 test molds... Oh well NOE to the rescue! I'll be joining in group buys soon I'm sure.
I still need a 460 sizer from Buckshot to finish out the molds I have now.
I have a friend that shoots 45-70 that said he has a ton of lead the we can cast.
Now I'm not sure if it is actually a ton but it will be a start. I understand it is a collection of wheel weights and some pure lead.
I'm also going to hit a local indoor range to see about some range lead.
I'm sure I'll be asking many questions in the next few weeks as we start up the process. I have the Welders jacket and gloves to help keep me warm in this cold weather. I'm thanking Mr Gore for Global Warming as I would hate to think how cold this record low could have been with out it:-P
