Heat cycling is not a big deal for me since when I am casting I have several molds on the hot plate. I can just put it on and off a few times while working with other molds. The motorcycle guys are...

I went to the MP site but all I saw were molds. no information on using them. I will look again.

George, I am planning right now to fabricate a square box to do just what you said, A mold oven. I might even control it with a PID since the controls on mine are a bit iffy. I always worry it will...

I can do the preheat, I have an old, really old hot plate. This is one of the ones with the circular burner. I put a piece if 3/16 steel plate on top of the burner to spread out the heat and set my...

I have come across a MP 312-159 HP mold that I forgot I even had. It is brand new so I am looking for advice on how to start up with brass molds. I have been casting for 55 years with steel molds and...

Motor mount or transmission mount. With a third option of the center support bearing on the driveshaft.

He is talking about adding a 200 gr mold So I would think he is shooting cast and not jacketed.

I run 14-16 gas checked in my 30-06 running around 1850-1900 FPM.

A couple years ago I bought a ton of wheel weights and also some lino pigs and a lot of unmarked blocks of lead. There is a fair amount that I believe is pure tin. Pics of all of that are on here...

And how did you deal with that chunk of lead that probably weighed just over a ton?

I simply keep the heat turned down so it is not overheating the bottom, Plus I start stirring as soon as I get enough liquid to do so. I have never melted a zinc yet, they all float to the top with...

Are you thinking of Red Lion metals? On Rt. 70 just west of the Red lion circle.

I just saw this thread and all through reading it I kept thinking "He needs to go slower!" I shoot the same bullet assuming it is the 311-40 from lee and I shoot at around 1850 FPM and I keep sub MOA...

Been a LONG time since it was that cheap!!!! it is 30.00 a gallon now but because it can be used over and over it is worth it to me. And remember that the bluing on guns IS rust!!! It will remove the...

I live right on the ranges of Joint Base MDL! No way in hell can you get out there even though they pay companies hundreds of millions of dollars to do just that. And that is where the cops shoot.

The case gauge is NOT your gun. You need to do a Plunk test to actually find if it fits that particular gun.

Interesting, I had never heard of Puff-Lon. Anybody using it? All I ever hear about is dacron.

Pretty sure they are nothing special and can be made from a piece of flat bar from the hardware store. I have filed them on Lyman molds and they are not hardened.

Lead casting has gotten FAR to involved!! People want to make their own alloys and they expect them to be perfect to the last 1/2% every time. Do you realize that all of the alloy calculators out...

At that price I would go broke buying lead. Yea, I am one of THOSE guys. You know the ones, they have more than they will ever need but simply cannot resist a good deal. I have a ton of wheel...

You mean like 70.00 a lb. for IMR 4895 and H4895 has been off the shelf for years now. Most of the Alliant prices I have seen were much lower than Hodgdon.

Amen to that!!

If that creed were true about it not being about the money then explain to me why their powder prices are the highest in the industry? Yea, it is ALL about the money. They may not be a conglomerate...

You see what Hodgdon has done with their powder prices don't you? Just about the most expensive out there. So what do you think they are going to do with RCBS? It is all about the money. And I am...
