So you can throw the jackets in the mix and they will come off the top or they get mixed into the mold.

I'm able to pick up range lead with permission and am close to filling up one 5 gallon bucket. I was going to fill another and then start smelting. There's a lot of FMJ pieces mixed in with the...

I'm not sure how a sinker would work. Both videos show lead balls. The sinkers I see are all odd shapes. How can you use those to go down the barrel and get an accurate measurement?

Thanks for the help. I just spoke to Jim and got the Dual Purpose Unit. It should work out well.

I wanted to get the Cabine Tree Hardness tester and I'm not sure whether to get the Standard Lead Tester or pay the extra $24.00 and get the Dual Purpose Tester.
In all honesty, I'm not really...

The other thought I had was smelting out of a another casting pot. Not the one that you use for your Boolits, but maybe another 20lb pot.
Forum: Casting Equipment
I'm setting up a casting area with a hood for ventilation. Is there any electric single burners which will get hot enough to smelt lead? I found this one but I'm not sure if it will do the trick.

For Distinguished Pistol CMP matches no one checks the ammo but its all 230gr FMJ, easy to visualize. I don't think its realistic to check everyone's ammo. I guess they assume you'll be honest. I...
I think maybe I'll try either the Lyman you mentioned or try this Lee 6-Cavity 150gr 1 Ogive Radius #90326.

That's shooting from a rest......:grin:
Offhand in competition I've made 3rd place as my best finish. Maybe someday...........
Thanks for the help, since I'm new to casting I think I'll avoid...
Sorry, I'm new to casting. What's a "GC" design? Where can I take find this number.

I'm trying for my Distinguished Badge for Revolver. The NRA lifted the Factory Ammo requirement and I'm looking for a 158gr SWC mold for 38spl. I'm shooting a S&W Model 14. Does anyone have any...

Looking at the pic and the description, obviously this is for a 2 cavity mold. Any ideas for a 4 or 6 cavity mold?

I think I'm going to have to slug the Clark barrel. My Clark is a 38super which was rechambered for the 38spl round. Either way, I mostly shoot my 45acp Wad gun for Centerfire and 45 portions of...

Can you use Sears Craftsman in the pot for temperature. Is it one like this:

Well I feel a little better now. I guess I'll go with the .452 and then see how that works out. Also thanks for the advice for the lube, I'll start off with the BAC and maybe another one or two to...
Forum: Casting Equipment
So when people purchase cast lead bullets, this is a factor with them also. Not just the ones that you cast yourself. I guess I'll have to slug all the 1911's and see how much they vary. I didn't...
Forum: Casting Equipment
I guess the question I have about slugging the bore is that I have more than one 1911 that I shoot. If I slug the bores and they vary, does that mean that I should have different dies for each one...
Forum: Casting Equipment
Thanks for the quick response. Does Lar's Lube need a heater? What is BAC?
In terms of determining size, the Zero Bullets are .452 and they seem to shoot well in all my 1911's. Is that the...
