Thanks for the reply, Jailer. I'll keep that method in mind.

Thanks for the reply and advice, Larry. I appreciate it.

Hi all. I just received a new 6 cavity mold and right out of the box I noticed a problem. One of the 2 alignment pins/seats is slightly proud and needs to be seated just a tiny bit deeper to allow...

I'm a noob here, but long time member on another board and have seen the treatment a lot of old timers over there have dished out to noobs and it was nearly always uncalled for, rude and unhelpful....

Y'know? I noticed that in the credits last time I watched Shooter, but I don't think I ever put that together.

Ahhh, I can picture it now. Thanks for taking the time to explain. I'm going to play with my alloy temp before I do any mods to my moulds.

Thanks again!

Thanks, captaint.

I've added tin via lead-free solder, varied my mould temp from cold to frosty hot. (fill out seemed a bit better with frosty boolits.) I'm starting to wonder it my melt temp is a...

Glad to hear you got a good one. I got 3 Lee molds in the last year and have yet to get good, consist fill out with any of them.

Thanks!:smile:

I've seen multiple mentions of "Leementing". Can someone clue me in on this? Maybe a link to an existing thread?

Thanks for all the responses, guys. I'll give them a good degreasing and give 'em another try.

I have the same rifle and plan to cast for it, so I'm curious to know as well.

I dug out my...

Are you asking about the mix called plumber's solder that's used for lead pipe joints?
If so, most of what I see is 50/50 lead/tin.

If asking about wire solder that's used for sweating copper...

Fun and informational thread. Thanks to all for adding to my (meager) casting knowledge.

Thanks for sharing some darned funny stories, guys. Some of them made me feel better about some of my own oopsies and all had me laughing.

Thanks for the kind offer and the welcome, bowfin. I'll certainly let you know if I need something like that.

I'm new here and just stumbled upon this thread- thanks for all the target links, I've already printed copies of one that I think will work really well for rifle testing.

Thanks to all.

Thanks, Dale.

I've got the Lee TL version on my Christmas list along with the sizing kit and 1,000 gas checks. Part of my reason for going with the TL version is my ignorance of top punches for...

I've lurked here a bit and decided to sign on today. I found this site because I was looking for cast bullet loading info for the 7.62x39. I've got a nice little CZ carbine in this caliber that I'd...
