I got my new Cabin Tree lead tester in today .I should of got this a couple years ago .
This tester is better than sliced bread .
I have had about four different piles of pig lead that was given to me awhile ago that has been sitting on my casting bench for a long time .No way to test it unless I wanted to melt it down and cast a bullet and test it in my saeco tester ,that was not going to happen .
I tested all the questionable pig chunks in about 5 minutes .
I had everything from very hard to pure lead .
Here is a picture with a chunk of pig lead in it .
Let me also say that Jim sent this so fast I was not expecting it for another couple of days .

I will be casting again tonight .
I have 3,700 700 Grain Thumpers to make !!!!

Gus makes good stuff. If you haven't checked out his mold handles, take a look. Good stuff. Kind of works like a pair of vise grips, to give the same tension on each cast. He did say he was low on one of the components at the time, but if not in current stock, I'm sure he will have them again soon.

I corresponded with Jim about buying a tester without the dial indicater and he says that's cool too....(For those who have a good DI laying around)

FWIW,

Did he mention price without dial indicator.

I have two or three and so I sure did not need another.
