Welcome to the board, Marine Sergeant. Some of these smelting set-ups are monsters, and I'm in awe of the skill and ingenuity displayed by their makers and users.
I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.
Man, and I thought mine could hold some lead. . . .
But then again, it's a 'Moo' point! ( A cows point of view; don't matter)
I just purchased a smaller dutch oven last night from a "trailer sale" tool guy going though town to make my smelter out of. Someone else ask about making the "point" on the valve...Is that best left to a machinist??? I can't envision anything close to that coming off my bench grinder after several hours of work...I think that will get hired out. Looking for a few more ww, a makeshift ladle and then let the smelting being!!! This must be a twisted bunch, I don't know of anyone else with this sickness around here!! It sounds like a lot of hot and dirty work, but I can't wait to get started!!! Maybe it's the thought of transforming the useless ww into a valuable commodity, I am into recycling!!! Oh ya, cheap bullets does have an appeal to me.
Take a kid to the range, you'll both be glad you did.
