I'll take this one. If I recall right I waited too long hemming and hawing over it the first time round.

Somewhere in a box or envelope I have a 22 short conversion kit for a Ruger mk2. (bolt, mags, forget what else) Worked OK, but the mags were kind of hackish with some amateurish welding. Shot...

This is the only picture I've ever been able to find for the Lee custom 6 cavity they made for makarov.com back in the day. Sadly I've no photos of the mold. I have reached out to Lee to...

Hate to ask, but the 1st pic from Lakehouse2012 and FINAL pic posted by HATCH conflict here: Are the graphics inset, or raised up AFTER the casting??
Hoping the answer is inset so I can stack...

I signed up for 2 of those. But I'm still searching 2nd hand stores as I'm looking for a new smelting setup to replace the garbage I use now. And if I happen upon some pewter or a nice cast iron...

Mr. Crockett seems to be MIA at the moment. A couple of other threads mention this as well. I was looking into a new smelting setup when I discovered this. Might try out my own angle iron...

Whoops. yes the hammer operated one from the wayback machine. probably actually called "the Lee Loader"? I didn't realize they had a C frame with the same/similar name.

Yeah I think a new handle end IS in order. And maybe a scrubbing and maybe a coat of paint.
I have a lee loader thing somewhere. neat toy, fun for plinking, NOT a serious reloading tool. Oh...

I must not be very serious either, spending an hour on here a day when I could be casting boolits!

I've cold blued some back when I used to load outside at the range during load workup. It works, but it's not perfect. But then I switched to just spraying them with Boshield.

They are SUPER soft as they are rather thin. Softer than most pure lead I've had sheets of before. But that might just be how thin they are. Never had anything quite this thin before.

Guess you could always smelt down the copper into ingots. But that's annoying as all get out and you need a baby kiln or something. (copper's melting point is just under 2,000F) I'll bet there's...
