Cobbled together from several sources. Best I can do for burn rate sorting.

Somewhere in a box or envelope I have a 22 short conversion kit for a Ruger mk2. (bolt, mags, forget what else) Worked OK, but the mags were kind of hackish with some amateurish welding. Shot...

Picked up a BX on sale this past week during "Ruger days" for $42. Must be the answer to life, the Universe... Everything. (book joke)
Seems OK. I have a VQ setup on my old mk2 that is just...

Hate to ask, but the 1st pic from Lakehouse2012 and FINAL pic posted by HATCH conflict here: Are the graphics inset, or raised up AFTER the casting??

Hoping the answer is inset so I can stack...

I signed up for 2 of those. But I'm still searching 2nd hand stores as I'm looking for a new smelting setup to replace the garbage I use now. And if I happen upon some pewter or a nice cast iron...

I'm in for 2. ed dot wahl at gmai l dot co m

Let's see... 1.4 x 0.9 x 5.25 =6.615 inches^3 x 0.41 (density of lead @68F) == 2.71215 lbs for a perfect fill with no alloying, in a lab, at sea...

Mr. Crockett seems to be MIA at the moment. A couple of other threads mention this as well. I was looking into a new smelting setup when I discovered this. Might try out my own angle iron...

Whoops. yes the hammer operated one from the wayback machine. probably actually called "the Lee Loader"? I didn't realize they had a C frame with the same/similar name.

As EDG points out,...

Yeah I think a new handle end IS in order. And maybe a scrubbing and maybe a coat of paint.

I have a lee loader thing somewhere. neat toy, fun for plinking, NOT a serious reloading tool. Oh...

I must not be very serious either, spending an hour on here a day when I could be casting boolits!

I think I shot a hole in a couple of golf balls with an old Russian long until one was...

I've cold blued some back when I used to load outside at the range during load workup. It works, but it's not perfect. But then I switched to just spraying them with Boshield.

hehe as the OP, I feel like I should go pop some popcorn, poke this thread full of 'serious reloaders' like a hornets nest and Sit back!! :popcorn:

But seriously now. Thanks everyone.
Yes,...

Explains a few things. Looking for a smelting setup myself.

Wondering if anyone on this board has modified their old Lyman Spartan to add compound linkage to aid in heavier duty work? Mine's been relegated to light duty as I got older. I'd like to put it...

I gotta say, I really like your mold pre-heating setup on the left there. I need to go find a coffee can now...


So many ideas! I love this place.

I want to thank everyone for chiming...

They are SUPER soft as they are rather thin. Softer than most pure lead I've had sheets of before. But that might just be how thin they are. Never had anything quite this thin before.
There are...

Guess you could always smelt down the copper into ingots. But that's annoying as all get out and you need a baby kiln or something. (copper's melting point is just under 2,000F) I'll bet there's...

Just got a free box of small square-ular and circular bits. Any idea what these are from? If I can figure it out I can probably score a good bit more as the fella I got them from seemed to imply he...

Hmm off to check out my local thrift and Goodwill stores I guess. I'd LIKE them to stack, but it's not yet a requirement. Don't have to start sorting quite yet. was thinking small milk crates and...

Looking for a new ingot mold. Something smallish to make no more than ~2lb ingot? Something to fit into an RCBS size pot. Used is fine. (wouldn't mind pics to make sure things are cracked/etc) ...

I was never happy with any silicone spray I tried in the 10/22. I've used various Teflon's though. From Elmer's Slide All to generic Harbor Freight. Seemed OK. Moved to using some **** thing...

Eh. I grabbed a couple of boxes of these. Was hoping they were the Champion bucket as that shoots great for the grand kids in their Rascals and in my sr-22.

I have a 591 that I've had since I bought it new. I don't think I shot it between oiling it up in the early 80s and the year Aguila dropped all that new ammo around '06/'07. It was always OK,...

Yeah I figured the username out from both Forum searches on sales and your post. But all I can see is that he was banned. Ah well. PM me if you care. I'm always curious.


I'm looking to PID...

As the grandkids all went to Halloween as Harry Potter characters, my first thought was "Voldemort sells PIDs?". I assume there is a story here I need to go look for. Off to the search engine!
