Well here is batch #2 of my first attempt. My wife can blame depoloni!

all jokes aside, i kinda like it. took awhile to work up the nerve to jump in. and i was amazed how well the coat...

what a wonderful idea, love the ingenuity! A friend has learned i got into reloading so has asked me to load some .308 for him. i've never loaded .308 before so knowing i've got to flare the mouth is...

that is very nice. love the scarecrow

would love to build me something like this soon. it must be nice to have something covered to smelt in the rain. i love the rain, but water don't like molten...

i'm gonna have to second this statement.

i'm glad there are people like you and s-3, mooseman, and everyone who frequents the chat who take the time to answer questions us noobs have. I was about to buy my first lee 6cavity 9mm mold, i did...

well I knew .380 is 9x17 or 9mm browning. I just wouldn't have thought that a .380 bore would be able to squeeze a .358 round through it. It makes sense that .356 would. I ordered a .358 mold because...

wow, .380's will shoot .358's? nice! thanks for that little tidbit

do you have to size the .380?

welp, my first mold is gonna be a Lee, can't say i'm sorry, i just hope i get one of the better molds. just ordered it. can't wait.

My apologies if i missed it from somewhere else.

Penetrating oil such as PB blaster? i love that stuff, wouldn't have thought to use it on a mold for lead removal. if so, note taken.

i'm actually reading this in pdf form, the writer is one well educated individual, making my head hurt but i'm getting alot of good info. going to be top of my read list until it's done.

i read this AFTER i purcahsed the 2 cavity, after many days of talking myself in and our of it :)

well it's my first mold, can't say i won't be buying the 6cavity later on, cause i'll be spitting...

lead free solder.. oh the fun we had with that stuff back in the day when i did electronic repair. AggieEE the crazy you felt trying to get it right is an understatement. Shuz or geppetto please post...

anything gun related is addictive..

were those ingots made with a muffin pan?

odfairfaxsub dude, 10K lbs'? where on earth do you store it?

skizzums, now thats the kinda hoarding you don't see on hoarders: buried alive! haha thats a nice stockpile you got there. keep it up!

i'm one of the lucky ones that works at a semi tire shop. get the big uns for free all day and i can get paid to sort em. right now lead WW's seem to go for .15/lb and pure lead is .30/lb. alot less...

i think once i get the casting process understood and become familiar with it, i'm gonna hunt me down a cast iron tea kettle and make me a setup very similar to this. i like it mooseman. gotta make...

hmm maybe this shoudl go here

i'm contemplating the 358-125-RF curious if anyone has used it in 9mm ?

would you use a nylon brush while it's hot? or just q-tips? not sure if the nylon would hold up to the temps.

lee makes it possible for us noobs to get in the game without having our lights cut off :)

this is a wonderful idea. did you use silicone or epoxy for the window sealant?

i didn't go through all the replies so forgive me if this is a repeat question. you mentioned pine sawdust. Would i use this with flux or without? Is the sawdust for fluxing specific to pine? or...
