It is in a 55 gallon barrel, probably 1" OD +or-

Thanks so much for the input, I will check into it further. Think it is worth $1.25 or more per pound as it sits?

Ran across some of this, trying to decide if I should move forward with buying some & what would be a fair price?

I didn't notice the sticky & looks like an interesting project, however I don't have the time or equipment to tackle the task.

Needs to make checks for 9mm, .357, .44mag, .45 LC, .223, .243 & .308.

I am looking at getting one, having trouble finding the freechex one out there.

I don't want a 2 step maker, need it to cut & form in the same stroke.

I found the 22rl one that is on...

I was thinking I should probably get a GC mold, I do plan to powdercoat & hoping to get a mold for hunting & plinking. Looking at the active group buy from MP. Think this one will be too heavy?

I think powdercoating is in my future

Got something that has been on my wish list for a long time, it goes nicely next to my .357mag 1894 I bought new in the 80's.

.44 is a new caliber to me, I have no components except a little...

Making a trip soon, I always like to look around in other places when I can.

Anything other than Bass Pro & Cabelas?

I haven't bought it yet so i don't know exactly what it is, just trying to get an educated guess.
Think it is worth .75 pound?

I have run across some "what they are calling" old water main gasket, he stated he was told that it was pure lead.

I presume it is some sort of poured joint sealant, below is a pic.

What is the...

Thanks, the info & links are very helpful. My googlefoo was very weak today, all the imperial results related to lead were imperial sizing wax.

I bought about 200# a couple of days ago, around 150# is this;

He thought it was some type of lino type lead

I have some Hornady 55gr fmjbt, I will compare them against the Wolf. I will try to find some of the soft point ones as well. Looks like casting for the AR platform is a no-go & not likely to try...

My silly little thing is fun to shoot & cheaper than feeding my .308. As mentioned, I am working on improving my rifle skills & other than rimfire this is the cheapest shoot I have at just under .15...

These were on sale for $199 plus shipping, sale is over :-(
I bought 2 cases, with shipping it came to about 5.4 cents per round.

Thanks for the replies.

I bought a "bunch" of Wolf .224 fmjbt projectiles for about $.054 each & toying buying more. They have no steel & for plinking they are accurate enough, just hoping to...

I have been gathering equipment & materials but haven't started casting yet.
I have a NOE .223 mold, 77gr (I think) as well as pistol molds. I do not have a sizer as of yet.

My 223 calibers...

Thanks for the link.

I did email them a while back, they responded & asked if I was a commercial reloader which I responded no, just a guy.
They emailed me back some load data & also let me know...

I have done a bit of googling but...

I am still in the gathering stage, haven't casted my first one yet.
The plan is to cast for all the calibers I shoot which currently are .380, 9mm, .357mag, .45acp, .45lc, .308 (.30-06) & .223.

Is this a Ford/Chevy debate or is there a preferred setup?

I was thinking about getting the Lee size dies but like the idea of lubing & sizing in the same step.

Thanks in advance.

I ordered a couple of aluminum because weight & cost to get enough equipment to start casting calibers I shoot. I hope to start casting in the next few months when the project list slows down....

Thinking about a NOE mold, probably a HP in .358, maybe one in .452 as well.

What is the longevity of the aluminum molds with the pins? Seems that the pin cavity would wear over time.
Are there...

It will probably be only used in .380.

thanks for the replies.
