I’ll have to give that a try. I do like leaving a pound or two of lead in the pot normally buy have had to leave a full pot on occasion. I’ve got two that’s been welded shut and a new Lee 20 pounder that I’ve never used the bottom pour spout on. It doesn’t drip anymore so think it may have...

With out a thermometer it’s a guessing game as to actual temp. Clean molten lead at 850 + degreesF will have a bluish appearance on the surface. 850 is generally too hot for most pours under 300 grain weight. For thirty years I worked in the telephone industry and handling lead cable, molten...

Well despite what you read in these and other pages it’s a very basic procedure. Melt the lead and pour it into a mold. Heat source is subjective. Lead does have an optimum pouring temperature and the mold needs to be hot enough to keep the lead molten until the mold has filled out. Too hot...

Not my thing, back woods, but on the face of it, I’d think you’d have to weight packing already cast balls against the raw lead plus weight of the equipment. Be cool though at an established base camp or off grid cabin.

A forum source for roofers lead can be found in these pages. Justin44. I’ve ordered a hundred pounds over the last few months. Good business deals.

Absolutely Zero. Would not go bang unless loaded. 😁

Experienced wood workers use steel wood screws of the same size to set the screws thread pattern in a drilled hole of the proper size. The steel is then backed out and the brass ones run in, one time , no chance of breaking the screw.

It’s an exact copy of a Pychmar 5 pistol range box. I wore that box out then made two, one from pine and this one from oak. This one has the main cavity taken up by a removable box that holds all the stuff needed for a day at the range shooting percussion revolvers. If desired the interior box...

A little old fashion, and a bit heavy but works well.

In my original draft of that post I mentioned NO Black Powder on the indoor range. Some how I omitted in when I hit the post reply button. Our 6 position 50 foot gallery range’s ventilation is barely adequate for smokeless, hand gun only too, and it sucks out the heat also so we rarely run it. 😜😁

Winter Shooting. I’m fortunate, Gun club has indoor facilities. Heated. Shoot twice a week. Of course I don’t limit my self to choice of firearms. 😁

LOL. Completely missed the big old box, zoomed in on the mutt with the pistol shaped stick in its mouth, then I saw the box. Other pooch given the camera evil eye. 😁

I’d be interested in some of their bullets for the reason suggested in post #4, aka BP cartridges, paper or otherwise. If you order, an update on their service should be appreciated.

Yes, the wife shops for three daughter in laws and two grand daughters. My “boys” are 46 to 56 years old, yikes I’m a senior citizen now. 😳

Had planned on it for a number of years. This was the year. 😁

Thanks. Small touch but the serial numbers are consecutive. I called EMF to request that.

Three sons, so this year three boxed 1851 Navies. Glass front cases so the white foam inserts are temporary for transport and gift opening. EMF for guns and accouterments, Taylor’s for the cases. Everything included for 48 rounds.

Tampons not included!!!😜

Like back in the heyday of the CB radio, 70’s and 80’s. One was supposed to get a call sign and numbers, I did but Not many users bothered, bet it’s the same with the FFA and drones.

Could use some one knowledgeable in their use to survey my two story roof. 1994 circa may be time for a replacement. 😁
