Hello lead mashers
I put together a lead wire extruder based inspired by Mr Kutil's design.
My effort is a 5.5" hydraulic ram with a 200mm/8" travel...

Interesting.
No 6.5mm boolits in Straya either?

What's the proper flux for antimony/lead?
Forum: Swaging
We're trying,this was a test of the equipment.
We're going to try and make the wire continuous.

I see you're in NZ.I get my non TGIC PC from Resto supplies...

I measure 4gms pc,not even a teaspoon, to 2kgs of bullets.
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I tried out some more 45/45/10 and dusted some with hbn and moly.
Still leaded at the muzzle.Velocity was up to 1400fps.
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I got leading with unsized bullets through my king cobra at 1375fps.Lubed 3 times with 45/45/10.
Does new lube dissolve old lube coats?

Would a metal tray floating on the surface of your molten lead in your pot serve to prevent oxidation?
Instead of a layer of cat litter after you fluxed.

But you coated the cast successfully after the acid wash?
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I'll try that.Does the acid indicate and neutralize the contaminant?
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
still trying to make it work,thanks.
Could you scrape your failed coating off with a fingernail too?

Hi Petander
This is a mixture of range scrap and wheelweights.
Could be anything in there!
