Reading some of the posts here where some can't reload their cast bullets for less than factory ammo....I think they are doing it wrong. Why some don't have the foresight to buy a bit of powder and...

A Lazareth thread, coming back to life. I finally got my own boolets cast, sized (.358), lubed (just in the bottom groove) and loaded under 2.8 gr of Bullseye. They shot and functioned fine in the...

I could sell 10 bricks up there and buy a used car down here.

What Kenstone says. Just order the 38 S&W expander and switch it out with the one in your 9mm die. Presto, you are in business shooting lead!

Lead SWC...suck it up and start hammering!

I would list the Lee hand primer in my most used list, and a RCBS concentricty tool/gauge as one of my least used pieces of equipment. I remember a similar thread years ago and someone put their...

So is that ventilation box where you will be casting using clean lead or melting down your dirty scrap lead...or both? I jumped through the video to the end, maybe you address the use of it.

Another vote for Keith's tool, while you are at it, he has great flat nose (for wadcutter or SWC---flat nose) and cupped (fill with epoxy or hot glue to make custom) top-punches available

I would break them down and use the shot anyway.

Dang Ed, those are quite the pics! I am thinking that was a Glock. Than makes you start thinking a bit more about what you are doing!

I never seem to need to shake, just swirl aggressively...shaking only broke my containers.

Another use and like it. It isn't water soluble, so don't try using that to clean it.

I don't shoot at any public ranges, but I was under the impression that ranges (indoor) were likely to not allow "unjacketed" bullets, to try to minimize the lead in the air issues. I have often...

Look in the refrigerator, check all the old crap for a suitable container, sour cream, chip dip, cool whip, there is likely something that is #5. It might be smaller than you want, but it might tell...

If you have a Dollar General near you, they have some nice round #5 containers, snap-on lids and 2 clips to hold the lid on. Silicone gasket, keeps them air tight...they were $1 a couple years ago,...

I used to stop at garage/yard sales looking for shooting related items. It was so infrequent to find something, I gave up on that. If you buy other crap, there is always that to bring home....I...

I saw this question posed awhile back here. Last week I picked-up 334 pounds of wheel weights and here is the break-down:

Lead COWW = 54.5%
Stick-on weights = 19%
Steel weights = 13.5%
Zinc...

Yah, pretty simple to use and give a good indication of the hardness.

Sounds like many of you guys are a magnet for trouble and poor service. I guess I have not ordered too much the last few years, stocked-up prior to out current situation. But when I do things are...

On the bright-side of things, just be happy you didn't dump that into an eight pounder.

I thought anyone who enjoyed shooting had stocked in at least a decade supply of everything...but reading threads on this site, that just ain't true!

Never saw any.

Nice to see some common sense in some posts here. One thing about the high prices of components...if they were priced at $40/thousand or per pound of powder now, those that need them would likely...

I haven't used any mixed sized shot loads, but I did have the same issue once. I trade lead for shot here. I look for #5, got a couple partial bags once in a trade. One bag had about a half cup of...

I hope to be doing more selling than buying, if I make it to my 70s. I am just shy of 60 and already realize I need start paring things down.
If I haven't owned it by then, guessing I would not...
