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.

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...

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...

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,

Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
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...
