    Lead Free Effectiveness

    Anyone hunt big game with lead free? I hunt with 12 gauge Winchester super x slugs and winchester.308 extreme points with good results. Been thinking about switching over to lead free recently. Options are 30-30, .308, and 12 gauge. Although I have rifles I still enjoy taking out my 12 gauge for...

    Favorite .30 caliber mold?

    Just getting into casting again. I have a bunch of 5.56 cases I am turning into .300 Blackout. What's your favorite mold in the 150+gr weight for .30 caliber, specifically the .300 Blackout? I have heard the Saeco 175 is a good choice. It doesn't have to be the heaviest, just 150gr plus...

    Powder Coat Suggestions

    I have been reloading for a little while now, but have been buying my cast bullets online until very recently when I came across a large source of free lead and would like to try my hand at powder coating the bullets I cast. I was wanting some advice on what brand to purchase. Essentially, I...

    32-40 Lead GC Bullet Vendors

    I am researching what I need to reload for a Winchester 94 32-40. According to winchesterguns.com and oldguns.net, my serial number indicates it was made in 1909. My gunsmith has done a deep clean on it and has declared it shootable. I want to reload for it, but am having trouble finding the...

    How much lead.

    In my casting adventures I have found it hard to keep up processing wheel weights and having enough lead to cast. It seems like as soon as I smelt it into ingots, I use it. I'm curious where you guys get your lead ( if you buy it, where is the cheapest place?) and how much you keep on hand in...

    How they did it back then

    I've been searching for info on the loads used back in the 1850s in Colt and Remington revolvers, without much success. I get a little info here and there. I know revolvers are less sensitive that autoloaders, but were they as strict as we are now-a-days with the weight, size, type and powder...

    Cost of lead ingots

    I may be looking to sell some pure lead ingots (from stick on wheel weights) and was wondering what average prices were per pound/ounce. On a similar note, what do I need to do to post in the trading post? I don't see a "create thread" button.
