Armoredman, i am casting with a 5 gang NOE mold also and i agree with what you hypothesize regarding the sprue plate.

what i do (and my bullets drop perfik) is first give the mold a blast of...

Easily my 1980 marlin .444s. it's super accurate with anything i put in it and looks very cool.

I've had problem guns... but i've weeded them out all together. this gun is 30 years old and i suspect it's fired a lot of jacketed bullet in it's years. so yeah, it's a keeper!

Im not going to bother. i made up 30 rounds of water quenched bullets today and shot them all with increasing powder charges in 5 round groups. unusally all of them shot under one inch at 60m with a...

Marlin! easy to strip, solid, accurate, timeless... what else can i say? my .444 is easily my go to gun. but my henry .22lr gets high marks for fun factor on the cheap!

so i shot the first 20 air cooled bullets in 5, 4 shot groups of increasing powder charges today. all groups at 50m with a peepsight fell under 1.5" with the best group being the stoutest charge that...

i want to shoot cast in my 444s but im not sure if it is absoloutely necessary to firelapp it?

im going to try it monday. melt a small bit of zinc into a mini muffin of WW and give it the acid test.

the acid reacts with the zinc causing a vigorous fizzling action. however...

i did a bit of testing today with muriatic acid, the veritable litmus test for zinc because i feared i may have melted...

i made some more this morning, this time i skimmed the clips etc, added more weights, stir constantly, repeat. i kept the heat as low as possible until it went molten before skimming and had about...

does anyone know for sure if a decent alloy will bubble lightly after several minuites of applying acid to it? because it wasn't much of a reaction. honestly i think im in the clear because i tried...

OK, i submerged a puck into 50/50 muriatic acid and water and it did nothing after 10 min. but i also put a drop of pure acid on the ingot and after a few minuites it started to bubble very lightly...

i've been casting ingots for a couple days now, but today i moved up to a larger setup to melt more lead at once. im now using a 73000 btu cooker set to medium and a metal 5 gallon pail. i loaded...

:mrgreen:
O.K., so it's pistol lube that comes with it. i guess i'll make some 44 mag light loads with this stuff... :veryconfu

Really? nobody knows?

i just got my Lubamatic 2 in the mail and once my mold arrives im ready to cast... except i will be waiting another few weeks for my white label BAC lube to arrive. so im wondering if the lube that...

WHAT?... AN ORANGE BAG?... well i never..., i didn't sign up for that. thanks for the heads up.

Big, it's really easy. first if its not on the bore edge you really have nothing to worry about as it won't affect accuracy much if anything.
If it's on the outer edge or face of the muzzle it's...

Ha ha... tres droll ;)
I used the rest of the money for an RCBS lubamatic, sizing die, mold handles and gaschecks.

And Swede has been nothing but helpfull. Very stand-up guy. he was more than...

Heavy lead,... ok, im cooling off. and thanks it is a .432, i don't know where i got that from. And yeah, i PM'd Swede and i guess all i can do is wait. im just ticked that i sold a 30-30 that i was...

i recently bought a mold online here for the .432-265 RF (RD) for my .444.
The picture and description of the bullet had a gascheck so i thought cool, lets get it.
it went on to say that cavities...
