    Hello all, new member here.

    Oldish enginner living in the Ohio. Love hunting, shooting, anything that I can do with my hands.

    Started reloading in 2021 out of necessity and now moving to casting.

    Been lurking a while so, might as well join the team.

    Thanks,
    Chuck S.

    Hello
    I've been reading your posts for a long time
    and decided to reveal myself.
    Owning a gun in my country, (Poland)
    has been possible for some time.
    So I shoot, reload ammo
    I'm reading and learning, so forgive me if I'm asking too simple/stupid questions.
    I'm sorry my English is Google

    New guy here from East Texas. I started casting in the mid 70s. Mostly for black powder cartridges. I have dropped in here for ideas ranging from alloy blends/hardness to lubes. Getting into polymer coatings, and all the answers appear to be right here.

    Welcome aboard sir. There is plenty of subjects to research on most things casting and loading. The PC info alone will get you started and keep you entertained for many days.

    I guess I'm guilty of lurking, so finally I signed up.

    Hi all, another lurker… just registered. Just fired off some rounds in a 1873 French Ordnance revolver and I am hooked. Dug out my old 74/80 French Gras in 11x59 and can’t wait to feed her some handloads.. Learned a lot by lurking, hope I won’t be too much of a pest asking you all to share some knowledge if I need some help!!! Glad to be here!!!

    Welcome Clete,

    If you have lurked here long you know there are no dumb questions. If you don't get an answer you'll probably get a link to a thread with the answer and more. Be sure to read the rules and just enjoy the trip.

    Howdy y'all! I just purchased a Remington Army 1858 replica from Pietta, and I was on another site (HVAC-talk) and was telling my friends there about my new pistol. A fellow named Filthy is also on that site and he turned me on to this place as I've never loaded black powder before. After about a week of figuring out what I was doing wrong, I just now got everything straightened out. This place seems to be the Bible when it comes to reloading and casting bullets. Thank y'all for letting me bend your ear a little bit... I am a veteran, retired refrigeration mechanic. Was in the army (6/9 field artillery) in the '70s. I also enjoy ham radio (W4NMT) I'm looking forward to learning more about casting bullets. Thanks in advance. Looks like a great site.

    Please spank me if I'm posting in the wrong area.
    As I mentioned earlier, I am a newbie to black powder, and ordered some number 10 percussion caps from an online dealer. This was almost 2 weeks ago. They have my credit card information. The last that I heard from them about a week ago was that my order was" in processing". I have several requests for updates on the progress of my order and 4 days ago I was told it was" in processing". I don't want to bad mouth anybody without them here to defend themselves, as I realize stuff happens, but I'm beginning to get concerned at the lack of communications. Should I be?

    been lurking for years but just gifted a pot and some lead.
    my uncle used to cast all the time (blow torch and dipper)
    but i never paid much attention although it was cool, wish i had his 30 cal molds,
    anyway started casting 45 228's and it's going good but as i never got into mixing alloy, whats the best to buy from rotometals?
    i will be staying well under 1000 fps more like around 700 fps

    thanks and good to be here

    New to the CB site. Been around on various other places on social media going all the way back to Myspace. I still maintain a presence on Facebook since it helps me rehome foster kitties when I was fostering for a couple city owned animal shelters. If it wasn't for the possibility that I might foster again, I would get off of FB probably. LOL I hung out on Gun and Game forum for a long time, but after their left leaning ownership took control, there was much less of interest for me over there. I was "ChaZam" on Gun & Game also. I hang out on Gab some. Interested in lots of different firearms and am currently rounding up parts and pieces to assemble some AR style firearms. I also have procured a Lee Cast Turret press, some dies, other reloading tools, some components, a tumbler, etc and intend to get back into reloading a few calibers after about a 40 year break. I have firearms in 22LR, 22WMR, 380 ACP, 9x19, 10MM, 357 Magnum, 41 Magnum, 45 Colt, 5.56 x 45 NATO, 223 Wylde, 224 Valkyrie, 6.5 Crendel, 6.5 Creedmoor, 28 Gauge, 12 Gauge, 8 MM Mauser, 7.62 x 54R, and probably some more I cannot think of offhand. LOL Hopefully I can gain some knowledge from a few CB regulars.
