4 5/8” Ruger Single Six
Believe it was made in 1990
Blued with adjustable sights.
Bought off GB

Some leading but not too bad. Great backup plan if
I need to use it in a pinch.

I lubed some Lee Tumble Lube .45ACP bullets and gonna try them tomorrow.
I'll report back on my results using straight JPW.

Thanks for posting the link to the article.
Great read !!

I figured the money saving comment would come up, just did'nt think it would be that fast.
Yep been reloading long enough to realize the folly of my statement.:veryconfu

for helping a new guy get started making "boolits".
I came here only a month ago with a desire to learn and ya'll helped me.
Thank You.
Although I have a long way to go I am making and shooting...

Nice find !!

haha, at my house I refer to her as The War Dept.:grin:

As i let me run that by the war dept.:grin:

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks

Dang !!!!!

I made the same mold using angle iron that we just welded together.
Dang ingots are heavy though !!

I had a buddy buy an old Lyman 450 at an estate sale or some such. Anyoo he knew I has started casting recently and made me a long term loan on the piece. It has quite an accumulation of old lube in...

We had a swap meet at the club on July 4th . A guy had 2, 1 lb containers of Green Dot for 2.50/ea.
I had never used it before but at that price could'nt pass it up. Loaded up some .45 ACP with

Can someone post a link on how this works ??

All good advice so far. I'll add:
Check CraigsList for lead. I have only been on here a month and I have already collected 1300lbs of lead. My one biggest hit was off CraigsList.

As a new guy I would'nt know linotype if it hit me but sounds like a great bonus for you.
Great job !!

Great tip. Thanks. I'll have to pick a bottle of that stuff up.

Great idea. I may have to find a way to sell the zinc and steel ones back.
Already found a guy that takes the range brass I pickup and pays cash then I turn around and buy ww with that money.

Great story. Great score.
BTW does anyone have a number on what a lifetime supply of lead might be.
I'll feel set (I think) when I get 1500 lbs.
I'm up to about 1050 lbs.

Yep, the tire shops that use to beg you to haul it out of there act like you are robbing them now.
They act like instead of a bucket of scrap lead its a bucket of pure 24k Gold.

Found this guy on Craigs List. He owns 3 Midas shops. Got 114 pounds of looks to be mostly lead wheel weights in the usual 5 gallon bucket. Quite heavy, so pretty sure it it mostly lead. and aprox...

Yeah that was nice of him. I would keep them boys happy.

Insane !!
Amazing what folks caught up in a bidding war will do.

A question from and new guy. I see some of you mix JPW with Lee Alox.
Why ?
I have only used the Lee Alox.
What is the purpose of mixing the two ?

Thanks MikeS and Popper and everyone. I ordered a Lee sizer today from Midway for around 15 bucks. I have about 225 bullets made now and just need to size them so I think I have it all figured out....
