It is HATCH's PID, he is in the vendor section. Best to PM him and he can tell you what he can do and what is available. Very good PID by the way.

Maybe this will help with the powder you are using. It's the old .300 Whisper data from Sierra that uses AA9. I have some AA9 but haven't gotten around to using it yet. I plan to use it with my HM2...

The spring is still holding and it's not very hard to manipulate the arm. The top is black from some wax when I was smelting and is probably why I am getting some leaking. I am waiting on the mini...

I will be going to the next step of my modification soon. Just waiting on one part. I hope to mount the thermocouple on the bottom of the pot. I am waiting on the adapter to connect to the PID to...

The Lee expander with NOE plugs is the way to go. I size all my pistol and rifle brass on my RCII. Swage out the pockets if need be for military brass and tumble to clean them up. I set the Lee...

Agree with conditor22 power pistol is a proven powder in the .45 Super. Works with wide range of 45 projectiles. I suggest the glock talk forum they have a lengthy thread on the subject of loading...

Just an update, the all thread rod, never backed out in 5 sessions so far of casting so that was stable and good and helped me get better control of the flow of the melt. The bad, on the fifth...
I tried the mold last night and was pretty satisfied with the cast. Also, my replacement MEC primer tray came in. Also found the Downrage wads on Graf and Sons. Still need to check the local gun...
Thanks for the tip I'll look up downrange products and see if they can ship them to me.

Thanks to Obama and his ITAR policies, I may be an American citizen but not according to trade laws.
I received the mold and will be casting some of them this evening. I was looking around the net and found that the burning rate of CSB-1 is the equivalent of WSF. I looked in my Lyman 5th edition...
Thanks for the tips gents. I think the first thing I should do is a thorough cleaning of the mold, and then smoke it. It's been a while since I used it and just took it out of storage. I also...
So I got my Lee 4-20 pot setup the way I wanted. Tried it with a couple of molds and now I decided to try my H&G #68 with it. I wasn't getting the fillout I hope I would and was getting alot of...

I'm going to pick up 4 more of these in a day or two. I melted down two of them so far and they came out pretty clean. From what I heard the recycler had them there for a few years. If there was...

I got the weight for the valve rod weight and hooked up the PID. Ran the auto tune and am going to try it out. Hopefully it turns out...

Thanks gents, I started smelting two of the blocks and nothing happened. So I think I'm in the clear.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
I heard they got them from the military. Do I need a Geiger counter? I hope I don't start glowing in the dark.

So I talked to the owner of a local reloading shop if he had any lead from the local indoor range they used to run. Apparently, they had already cleaned it all out and told me he gets some from a...

I had a piece of aluminum and used my nibbler to make a mounting plate for the thermocouple. It mounts on top of the threaded rod and is held in place by the thumbnut. Drilled out the hole a little...

I finally got the 4-20 pot yesterday but the lady wasn't feeling well and tended to her. Got up and opened the box this morning. Started taking it apart to do the threaded rod modification. ...
Thank you for the insights, my Remington 1100 is a smooth bore, originally with a 28" vent rib barrel, it was cut down to a 23" and rethreaded for Remington chokes. I have 3 Briley comp chokes for...
I So I have CSB-1 powder, just ordered a Lyman Sabot slug mold, anyone have a starting load for use in with combo? I have some grey Winchester hulls with AA 12 Claybuster wads and woul like to load...

Conditor22, I was thinking of using a shorter carriage bolt. I may try it just to see how it does, I always cast with gloves so the heat may not be an issue.
Idz, glad your pot is working great...

I hope to try and minimize the leaks from the Lee pot with the modifications I am planning. If all goes well, I will make sure to note my path to it. I also just checked the Brownells website, they...
