That could work... I can give it a try ...my only concern is the volume of air that needs to be compressed to get enough pressure. It would certainly work with hydraulics but with air it may need a...

This is rough picture of the concept that I have. I am not familiar with a CO2 powered system but sounds like a better alternative. I would have to figure out how they work...It is it just a metering...

Hi folks,
I am beginning an experiment which possibly involves using springer air gun components. I know almost nothing about the parameters of these things (bore and stroke of the piston, strength...

I bought a pewter item yesterday at Goodwill for $2.99. A chalice. It's too nice to melt so now I am building a nice collection of pewter that I will never melt.

This was more of an assay test. That mine was making money when it shut down but now there is no refining facility to take the ore to anymore. I don't know if there are ANY galena refineries left in...

Unless you have another die more like .315, I suggest you size before powder coating AND after powder coating.

Depends on the type of fish. I had amazing results making dough balls with strawberry koolade for carp. I doubt if any other fish would like it though. We used to use aweful smelling dead suckers to...
I use reamers to expand the size of molds and dies.
Forum: Cast Boolits
No lube grooves means much easier to make molds and swaging dies. That's good enough reason for me.
Another factor in the equation is the hardness of the alloy...That could affect NLG vs LG...

I'm hoping the prices of EVERYTHING SKYROCKETS.
The quicker the idiots who think liberal ideas are good see the failure the quicker we can get back to SANE politics.

You will notice how hot he is heating his batch. Zinc will float on lead but you have to get it pretty darn hot...Far hotter than most people are used to when casting bullets.
That being said...I...

About 5 years ago I put out a question for anyone who would be willing to give me old dies for me to modify in my endeavor to reload 22lr. Several kind folks sent me some. I have cut ground drilled...

You could buy the proper die for less than a machinist would charge to cut it.

Are we talking about the same grinders here folks? I am speaking of a Harbor Freight 4.5" angle grinder. with a steel guard half way around it...

By all means try some of the powder coated bullets. There is a reason that the vast majority of casters have gone to powder coat. It is easier, cleaner, cheaper, and the bullets perform better than...

People aren't as honest and forthright as they used to be. That works bad on both ends. When a buyer expects a seller to be dishonest they use that as an excuse to treat them badly. It's all about...

Maybe another type of printing press also...Litho press? Block print?
But some type of printing press.

Good greif....It's super easy. Takes about 2 minutes. Get the thing to spin in something and take an angle grinder with a thin blade and grind it off. You can do it in your sleep. If yor are skert,...
