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...

Evaporust works by Chelation. It will never harm metal like acids. Muriatic acid will eat clean metal. I left a rusty bold in pool grade muriatic acid diluted 50% and it ate the threads off of the...

I was doing some casting of regular rifle and pistol bullets a while ago using pure lead since I wanted to use them for slugging the barrels and although I could have used wrinkled ones I just wanted...

Boatyards have caught on to the lead supply need. Keel lead is selling for over a dollar a pound around me and I live close to the coast and also many rivers and bays. It is out there but expensive...

That is a pretty good average nowadays. Must have been an older bucket full. I got 8 full buckets a couple years ago from he estate of an old reloader. They were ALL lead with the exception of two...

Clip on wheel weights will not help with what you have. They will add a lot more antimony and very little tin. But they are good to use by themselves with just a little bit of tin added. Straight...

Never heard of a "burn test" on lead? White to me would be Phosphorous or magnesium and green would be copper. I would think it would melt so fast you would not get any kind of read. And remember...

For what you are paying for that particular alloy get as much as you can and work with what you have to get your loads established and then do a bit of hammer testing and shooting testing. That alloy...

I have melted down 8 FULL bucket loads of weights and I was not about to check every one of the thousands of weights. I use a converted propane tank for my pot and a turkey fryer burner for the heat....

The guns are only between 15 and 20 grand for a good one. I can't understand why a junkyard owner would not want to buy one. What I can understand is why a yard would not just run a test for you...

Prayers sent. I was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of prostate cancer in 2019. Prior year nothing and that year big lump. Had biopsy and they said it was cancer and a form they just do not sit...

Have you hit one with a hammer to see if it is brittle? That looks like a LOT of antimony.

Great to see you educating him on the snakes. Most snakes are beneficial to the ecology, even the poisonous ones. Learning what to do when you encounter them is a very needed skill. Way back when, I...

We have black snakes and garter snakes around me and I fully welcome them around the perimeter of the house. When the snakes are present I have no mice whatsoever. Problem is that they will follow...

Now you need to check the rest of the safes to find the guns it goes to. LOL

I am looking at this procedure somewhere in the future so watching how you do. Glad it al went well.

If you are at 90% then the difference is negligible, but how do you know you have 90% without testing? And as has been said, the price is going up on pewter so is it still worth it?

And you are not getting pure tin which you can buy at places like Rotometals and know for sure what you got. You can buy pure tin for 28.00 lb. and that pound will do a lot more than pewter alloy....

Hagerty covers all my cars except for the one daily driver. They even cover my 06 Mustang GT. The price I pay for three pickups and two antiques cars plus the Mustang is less that just the Mustang...

I wish I had know this a week ago, I was just through NC on 95 last Wednesday and I have tons of wheel weights I could have traded.

You must live in a wide open area! If I tried that here the fire company would show up in very short order.

See my post #14 where I quoted the uses of Indium.
