"Are you using a separate pot for smelting and one for casting? If you want to use the wax as a reducer I would do it when casting your boolits."




I have a 5qt cast iron pot for smelting that...

I have no doubt saw dust would do a good job fluxing. I have always used just paraffin though. lead cast clean and bullets are as good as any I have purchased. As a matter of fact, I will be lubing...

I flux when I smelt into ingots and I will flux again before I cast into bullets. You wont ruin your lead as long as you keep zinc out of it. As far as disposing of the dross, that's tricky as it is...

If it were not for the NRA, you would already have legislation on the books denying you most if not all of your 2nd amendment rights.

Those molds look great! I am very tempted to sign on. Is .227 a cast and shoot dia or do the bullets need to be sized? For all my pistol casting the finished product is about .001 over their jacketed...

the RCBS primer pocket swagger is the solution to crimped...

I checked the links at the top of the post. the NOE 62 gr rn caught my eye but don't seam to be available in 5 cavity as do the fn. when casting , I like volume. would like to see the TL225-50 RF. ...

When are gas checks not needed, if ever?

barrels are 1/7 on semi and 1/12 on bolt, FYI

Thx

I have only cast for straight wall pistol to this point, but would like to cast for .223 rifle. I briefly looked into swagging as that would most ideally replicate currently marketed rifle bullets....

Wow, I feel fortunate. I have stored an old can of Winchester 748 for over 30 years and just used it to load up some .223's. it looked and smelled great

So is grain dust. Wow, can you see where this may go?
