I’ve always liked their crisp break. I’ve found no issue with accuracy.

What a beauty!

Shoot it but research your ammo or reload for it. You don’t want to risk breaking anything at all if it’s all matching. Else you’ll take a bath on the price drop.
My S/42 is easy 95% I’d guess...

Same darn thing to me. Flamed up startled me and now I have a nice silver dollar sized scar on my foot to remind me. 1. No flip flops (yea really dumb I know) 2. Expect flare up and don’t be jumpy...

Yea but nothing beats this old wood and steel. Just not made the same

For me so far the steel Lyman. The Lee aluminum heat way too quick and slows me way down.
Haven't tried brass yet.

This is awesome. I've not shot in awhile and spent the last few weekends cleaning every brass I have and getting it to ready to load point, so I just sized the 6.5 and it went well. Once I get more...

Yea I have the 7.35 die, and giraud annealer so figured I could just size me in my die. But was sorta curious on learning the fire forming part just for something new to add experience

So I have some 6.5 carcano should I just anneal and size in my 7.35 die or should I fireform it? Having never fireformed not sure what powders I can use or how much.
How would I learn this art and...

Just melt with torch. If you're determined on the method described, measure your block of lead. Assuming it's a block

Volume =LWH
Length x width x height

Wonder what my unissued / unfired k31 would bring :-) mahhhh don't need to know, wouldn't part with it

So just a thought. Why not turn down a steel rod or brass rod that fits perfectly into the case and use that as a guide to get perfectly centered for cutting?

Best advice for first time hitek coater. Use your thermometer that you use for casting ingots, I have the rcbs one. Watch your oven and don't let it get above 400. About 380 or so you'll see the...

Feel free to use it or if you want different background and lighting let's discuss how and I'll set it up for you :-)

I have them in convection oven with fan to move air at lowest setting being 100 degrees to ensure they dry. Mixing up my gun metal rifle batch now.

Funny...gun metal at least starts out looking...

Edited.....they're coated and drying. 1st coat not yet baked

First coating.... just coated, not yet baked. Drying now. Gonna give them about 45m or so.
looks correct? Zombie green. ...

I'd trade ya since I bet you can walk out your door and shoot all you want :-)

Actually this might help some of us older guys :-) but I found an awesome app for my iPhone. Called super vision+
Open it up and look at the details, zoom even if needed and you can take pics. Good...

Well...guess they will make good mugs for mule kickers with the neighbors :-)

Ok here is another.....had to look this up since a minute under a torch didn't start any melting I'm thinking its not pewter. Unless the whole thing has to get uber hot first to melt.
...

So found this. I'm not yet into black powder, but thinking one day I'll surely pick one up. This is being said that it's a black powder flask. But I'm thinking it'd be really hard to put powder IN...

So what's the ratio for say a small batch of 150-300 bullets? I'd like to test it one some casting I did last week

Oh ****......first time coater and zombie green is for my pistol bullets.
