Thanks for the tip Gew. I just precleaned a bunch of brass so will now clean them with pins and soap.

Hello Bills Shed,

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your advice and the pictures. I was way off as far as strength and rigidity was concerned for sure. I had no idea how much rigidity was...

AlexZP I'm going to make one of these rods up and see how it works for me.

Thanks

I'm going to myself interested in this project again. I had zero luck trying to sell what I'd already put together. So yesterday I put together a mock up of what I think it should look like and...

Thanks for the tip.

Okay guys do I have this price to high?

What is the ration of lanolin to alcohol your using in your lube?

Thanks

I've decided that this project is a bit more than I want to keep after. With shooting season coming up and a really nice buy on a bunch of 22 jackets I need to get focused elsewhere.

What I have...

I've decided this project is a bit more than I want to tackle. So I'd like to sell what I've already put together. Check out the for sale forum to see what I have done up to this point.

Thanks for the info Bills Shed. This really helps me out while I get this assembled. I have a 3 1/2" cylinder that I'm starting with and a buddy has a 4" bore cylinder he said I could have. I...

Thanks for your efforts proving this out. I purchased a Ebay die and have experienced exactly the same problems you have. I'm about to order the Corbin die to see if I can make up better jackets as...

I've admired this machine for some time. BT makes extremely high quality equipment. However I can't afford it so have to look into alternatives to get the derimming process easier for myself. I'm...

Thanks Sasquatch-1

Free would be super. I'll give it a shot.

I'm using my old RCBS press to derim 22 cases to make up bullets. As we all know that pulling the handle can be rather tiresome. I've decided to convert the press to use a pneumatic cylinder to...

Hello All,

Being a pretty simple minded guy I was wondering about a smaller press instead of building the one presented in this forum. Some folks have mentioned scaling this press down to suit...

Thought I'd see if anyone would part with a set of dies as I could sure use them.

Thanks,

Lee

I as well would like to order a blade and plans.

Thanks,

Lee

I just wanted to fill in some spaces about my friend. He grew up here in this area and has worked, farmed, speculated on land and been a part of this small community through his lifetime. The...

I want to thank all you folks who responded. It made making a decision much easier and safer when your aware of the potential safety problems. I'm just waiting for an opportunity to get together...

Hi BangerJim

No I decided to leave it alone as far as casting any of it. However with the offer to load it with a tractor and maybe recycle it I might do this.

Would seem to be a win-win so to...

Well guys after considering this a bit more I think I'll just leave this lead be and find something else to use.

When I see the word FREE I kinda get blinded in both eyes and my mind goes blank so...

Hello,

Okay just for a little bit of back round. I'm getting real close to 70 yoa now and am not nearly as strong or healthy as I once was.

I thought I'd try out a couple of 2 cavity moulds to...

Hello again.

So if I were to give this stuff a try:

Any idea what the composition and hardness of this lead might be?

Regards,

Lee

Thanks for all your thoughts and advice. This lead was melted down about 20 years ago. It's also been sitting out in the weather for at least 10 of those years. My friend says the only reason...

I'm very sure this was done without knowing the dangers of melting this stuff up.

This lead is free. The gentleman who did this is now in his late nineties and had no idea of the dangers...
