Just joined, have read for awhile mostly about casting. Posted here because of more activity than on the reloading components forum. Have cast .30 150grn and .429 214grn, like my Lee moulds. Recently got a .375? 255 grn mould but haven't tried it out yet.
Am looking for Alliant Promo powder, will be traveling through Union City and Paris to Clarksville next week. May go to Gamaliel, KY to get Promo at $85/8lbs if I can,t find it along the way. It will take 10-11 gallons of gas to go on to Gamaliel so I could pay a little extra if it was not out of the way. Made a pit stop at Gander Mountain at Jackson week before last. No powder on the floor.
My spell checker only recognizes bullet and I will probably leave it that way, otherwise this is a great site and I have learned a bit from it. Have about 3 gallons of wheel weights to smelt if I can find my muffin pan or get a replacement. Managed to find some 95% tin solder recently at $6.50 per lb so should be able to get good fill when I start casting again.
Made a batch of lubricant many long years ago, consisted of beeswax, white parrafin, and wheel bearing grease. Worked fine for plinking loads but will soon need more. Does anyone have a good recipe for an economical lube?
TIA for any help you can give.
