Shootin a steel 12" Gong @ 200yds- I use the Lyman #311299 that I "Beagled" just a bit to help drop the casts. I water drop them. I size them to .310 and lube with Rooster Red. My load is 17gr...

Thanks Fellas I will experiment this week end.

I have some Speer 148gr HBWC and want to find a load for my S&W M66 4". I load these inverted (Hollow base forward). On hand I have Unique, 2400, H110, 231 and Power Pistol. Any suggestions for a...

I go to my dentist and give the nurse a plastic bag that she fills for me. When I smelt them I toss the whole bag in the Dutch usually 10# of pretty pure lead. Everything else burns off

A leather scabbard was about to drip off oil. It was apparently stored this way for years. I put it in Kitty Litter over night and the oil has been sucked out. It looks better and I will finish...

Any one suggest any good cast bullet and load for this beauti? I have used 311299 w/17gr 2400 in my 1903 to great success. Just for the plink and the 200yd steel.
Thanks

In RVN we'd pull the 5.56 FMJ and just dig the case mouth into a bar of soap. Soap rounds were for the rats and worked real well.

At least the boys are outside. The Beer is fine but where is the Lightin Jug!

In my '03 the 311299 GC with Roster Red and 17gr 2400 will hit the 8" steel at 200yd every time. Mv @ 1750 fps. I call it my bunny fart load. Fun shootin lead.

freakshow gave the answer that I was looking for. Hold the mold 1/2" from the spout. At first it wasn't working out right the I took the ladle to the mold for a few and fooled the mold into...

I have cast for about 2 years. My boolits have come out pretty fair and shoot good. All of my casting was done with a ladle. I got a Lyman Mag20 pot. It works great but I don't think I have made...

Full 5gal buckets that I have done weigh out at about 150#. After removing junk, zinc, steel, and tape weights, and after the melt/flux i average 110# WW lead. Tape weights come at about 10 or so...

Using a 31041 (310410 ) w/ size to .309 and 26, IMR 3031.works in my old '94
311 299 w/ 17 gr 2400 works great in my Springfield '03 @ 200 yds MV +/- 1750.

I'd just out small quantieies in at a time. I have no big brother watching an o full oven @ 45-50 # works.

Melt, Flux, Pour!! I treat it as pure lead. The bit tin that you may have in it would be negligible, and only helpful. Get out and pic it up!!

I get the foil from my Dentist and I treat it as pure Lead. I mark the ingots "DEN" I have shot round ball with my BP pistol and it works great. It also melts fast because it is thin.

Small bottles can be refilled with a Threaded burshing fitting from large BBQ style bottles. I made my money back the first time I filled 4.

The thermometer I use and have for sometime is a RCBS. I feel it is and was accurate as it registers about 620 or so when the slush turns to melt. I add 1/2" of 50/50 bar solder to 4# of WW. I...

Buckshot- I don't wear sandles, just boots. I'll try the pin wheel hat and wear my leather welding coat. I don't have a jockstrap anymore, but I'll get some panties from Mama.

I didn't know that lead would be worth so much today!

I use a King Cooker double burner type. I use one burner that can produce 120,000 BTU. The valve is rarely set above a 1/4 turn. I have made a heat shield and my Dutch will hold more then 60#. ...

Heat it and try a brass brush or some kind of small pick.

Does anyone take a new (or used) mold and flatten the mold top and sprue plate? I have and along with a little bit of beveling the sides that the sprue plate crosses find that they produce a better...
