Tiny scores are good! They add up!

An estimated 60% is pretty good for todays weight scores. I still get a partial bucket every 6 weeks or so and mine are falling someplace between 50 and 60%. My % of Lead weights are gradually...

Good Luck with helping your friend! There are tons of excuses that you can use if you just don't want to do this for him. Use your imagination and your counconce.
I started downsizing back during...

Prayers sent!

I would switch to a harder lube! I run the Carnauba Red year around.

I'm just seeing this. By now its probably over and you're back home. Hope it went well and you have a quick recovery.

I've used BNE on this site several times. His turn-around time is pretty quick. Be sure to follow his directions. This site is lucky to have him offering this service.

I sort all of mine. After you do some it gets faster and easier. My burner will easily melt a Zinc weight that gets trapped on the bottom.
I've melted wet lead before but I filled the pot and then...

I do the same thing except that I usually switch over to beer in the afternoon. I don't drink when I'm charging cases but I will have a beer or two while casting or doing case prep. I also like to...

I've been with Farm Bureau for 30 something years. House, autos, Polaris side-by-side, tractor, trailers, umbrella policy. Theres a lot to be said for having a good agent. Mine was a shooting buddy,...

I built a cord for our outside Christmas lights using a mechanical clock by Tork. You can change or add the hands that trip the switch that turn things on and off and although kind of expensive they...

It seems like a 5 gallon bucket will go for between $20 to $50. I would hesitate to pay much more than $20 with the amount of non lead weights that I've been finding. I recently passed on a bucket...

Glad to hear that you got it melted.

Nice find! It pays to keep your eyes open!

Congratulations! Thats great news.

Welcome to the site and to the hobby of casting!

Everyone has pretty much covered your equipment list and I don't have much to add. I would defiantly go with a 20 pound pot. You will need lead....

Ha Ha! Thats Cool!

Nice Score and a good contact to have. Be cautious, like has already been said, may contain zinc. Also could be tin which would be even a better score!

I"m going to say probably not. The thermometer on my gas grill only gets to about 500º. Plus the weight needs to be a consideration. Buy a turkey fryer and a cast iron dutch oven from Harbor...

VV is one of the few powders that I've ever had deteriorate. And Norma ammo is the only ammo that I have had that corroded internally and ate through the case. Both were stored in a controlled...

I think its an Isotope container, the 31# one. The picture looks like its missing the part that goes inside. If you want to PM me a phone number I can text you a picture of one thats not as weathered...

I've smelted a ton in a day several times. I did it in my shop with a 36 inch exhaust fan in the gable end and a 48 inch floor fan running in the door way. You could see the smoke move out of the...

When I ran a Thumlers Model B I got my "O" rings at a hydraulic shop that works on pumps, cylinders, ect. They were a fraction of the cost of belts from Thumlers.

Sorry for your loss. I know you miss Him. May He RIP.

Sorry for your loss! I've lost a few pets over the years and it doesn't get easier.
