I am sure you are correct on weight, however, the current packaging is 2 lbs or 9 oz. which are the usual 4lb or 1lb containers.

The listing on gunbroker is shown as 5lb jug.

Well, you would have a stepped barrel of you proceed with an encore. The Encore breech uses a barrel diameter of approximately 0.997". You would need to have the breech or entire barrel turned to...

Lead carbonate, previously used in paint decomposes in pure form at 315C/599F releasing toxic fumes.

Lead carbonate is not metallic lead, either.

I would find another reference besides "thisoldhouse.com" Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

According to some scientific references, the vaporization rate of lead is...

Yes, but the Arsenal grooves are crimp grooves. The pic in the OP looks to have rounded grooves, not exactly the same.

A "small" brass ball on a stem, about BB size to reach in from the end of the die to break the edge on the lube holes.

I used 7.62x39 to form cases for my brother's 501 wsl. I sized the case to the web and used a file to remove the excess brass at the web, careful to not reduce the rim. You end up with a semi rimmed...

I haven't had a chance to test them. I have a CabineTree, but think they are too wide to fit in the tester. I have been too busy to cast a boolit or melt off a piece for testing.

I have spun the round pins in drill and light polished with flitz or worn out fine emory cloth. Coat with a pencil (graphite) and reinstall. Usually the polish does the trick. The graphite coating...

Same. There does not seem to be a set standard. Many listings put tin first as 2-6-92, but others list the Antimony first as 6%.

The 2-6-92 seems to be more common.

I figure these are from a...

First thing I checked was Rotometals website and a few other reloading/ casting supply sites. I haven't seen ingots like this yet.

I do plan to use as hardball (until it doesn't work)
I just...

I am hoping some has purchased 2-6-92 in this form amd can verify it was consistent with what they have used.

I picked up some lead today, hoping it is in fact 2-6-92 like it is stamped. It is hard and rings pretty good. Also got some more pure. 75 cents a pound plus tax.
Approximately 36 pounds (5 bars...

If you trim to length first you lose the advantage of already having a .223 formed neck and are taking a ~0.350 case body down to ~0.248 in one step. I may be missing something, but having tried...

No, they are not. They will add more antimony to mix and harden the alloy.

You could use less tin. than that. Melt your weighed ww alloy (49 lbs). Add 1 lb roll of lead free solder or 1lb of...

Remember you can use seating die bodies for forming as well. the necks in seating dies are sometimes several thousandths larger than the FL sizing die.

I would try...

I posted my process somewhere on here a while back. I do not have any of the form dies and was using 1x fired winchester brand 223 brass.

I sized to 221 and neck turned for diameter befire sizing...

I need to doublecheck that weight, it might be closer to 7 lbs, Getting it confused with my 6x45 AR15 with similar furniture, but it is really light for a 10.

Nope. Weighs 6 lbs 8 oz with...

I am glad you have it working. Makes me want to start load development on my 358 Winchester WC-10. It is a little over 6 lb (rifle only) with lightweight billet upper/lower, carbon fiber butt/tube...

Depending on the composition of the boat keel, you should be able to cast a little smaller with pure. Also, I believe that casting hotter will allow the cast to end up smaller due to shrinkage( I may...

Brownells has some of the accurate powders on sale still. I guess the free hazmat was a 1 day deal. I have an edge membership for shipping. I do not remember the coupon code used, but it was $20 off...

I bought some aa2015 and aa2200 on sale with free hazmat, free shipping and coupon code (10%) for $30 and $27 delivered.

Caustic is high pH, Acidic is low pH.
Not saying caustic won't damage a firearm, but even a weak acid like the vinegar or citric acid will remove bluing (both relatively mild acids, but "low" pH)....
