Thanks for the ideas. Using a JR2 for sizing, it doesnt have a removable thread bushing.

Forum: Cast Boolits
Oooh now that's interesting. Looks like it's currently sold out. Looks like lot of sizes available too
Forum: Cast Boolits
Ok thanks. Guess it wouldnt make sense for lee to make a housing for these bushings that fit in a normal press and still make the other style push through sizers at the same time. Then again RCBS is...
Forum: Cast Boolits
That's what I normally use, but figure if I could get away with somehow using the $9 bushing it would save money. Unless I have to buy a dedicated press. But I might get one of those cheap lee...

Right, but I was wondering if there was an option for die/sizer housing that fit in a normal non breech lock press
Forum: Cast Boolits
Any way to use this in a normal press or can it only work in lee breech lock presses? Cause spending $9 per size is better than $20 for a normal lee sizing die.321742

50lbs? I'd just throw it away, I still live in the land of lead though, so it's not rare around here yet. Or I'd try that sulfur method that's in one of the stickied threads

Oh ok thanks. Ive not used new pans, which would explain why Ive not run into it before.

Just saw this in the facebook marketplace. I've "smelted" quite a few wheel weights into ingots and never seen cratering like in these pics. Im not buying them so it's not really a concern. I just...

What kind of BHN are you getting when you do that? Im just curious because I did some last winter half half like you. Baked PC, dumped into ice cold water. If I leave them all night in the water I...

It was in my notes too and I threw it out when I cleaned up my desk. For some reason I had a lapse and couldnt remember what "CB" meant. Oops.

Thanks I'll probably be here till next spring. Too much else to do in the summer, and too warm to be melting lead.

For mod and member reference I used to be Cucumbermonkey, but am not active during the summer. I was low post count even when I am active. So I forgot my login information and no longer even have the...
