I am almost out of Hornady One Shot Case Lube so I started looking for home made case lube recipes. Most that I found call for mixtures of alcohol and lanolin. I was able to find the 99% alcohol at...

Wall-Mart sells a cheap stainless steel stock pot. I think the one I bought was a 6 qt for about $8.00, they also have a larger on for a few dollars more.

Thanks,
Can't find real BP here.
I bought triple 7, and some wonder wads.
I'll try the .451 balls and then order a larger mold if need be. I have also seen posts of people using the .451...

I just bought my son a 1851 44 cal Pietta for Christmas. The LGS has pyrodex, Triple 7 and an Aliant BP substitute. Which do you recommend?
I have no experience with BP revolvers. Some with...

I traded for a Moroku 1895 in 450 WCF about two years ago and it is now my favorite rifle. I became obsessed with shooting a 400 grain bullet in it. I was told on a couple of other forums that in an...

Thanks for the offer. The only other caliber I plan to cast for is my 405 WCF. I bought some 410 grain boolits from Bullshop that I am working up loads for. They are shooting pretty good. I'll have...

I found a cheap ($7.95) stainless steel stock pot at Wall-Mart and use it on my turkey fryer burner for smelting. I think its a 5 Quart. I already had the turkey fryer so it was a cheap way to go.
