Hmmm all I can find is stuff on ebay as well.

You have to go to a farm and garden to get granulated sulphur $2.00/lb. Potassium Nitrate will be harder to find. They don't sell it around here anymore. They do have it on eBay. I cant even find lanolin around here must less saltpeter.

Making powder?

I've got this want to make some black powder. How cheap is it? I've got the recipes and I've made several pounds of charcoal but what about the other ingredents?

Yeah I started doing some 06 on a lee loader. Now I've just about quit modern guns and gone to muzzleloading. I'm quite fond the the old guns you could say. A .22 is about all the modern guns I want.
I'm thinkin of getting one of them Cabelas hawken rifles in 54 caliber. Do you thing WW lead would make OK round balls?

HI JK it's nice to hear from you and it made my day. I feel forgiven now due to the cat issue LOL.
I'm do'in O.K I'm a little stove up from working but that will pass as the day wears on.
Take care and Thank You for the PM...Mike

Hey Jim what's up have heard if there is a place to find out who is cheating people?

Funny you should ask Jim. Look at this. Straight Shooters & Deadbeats - Cast Boolits 24hourcampfire: Where is b00mer?

Maybe this will help some of our friends. Thanks Jim!!! Your a scholar and a gentleman. lol

just been busy as hell with work man good to hear your doing well.

Cool! I'm running out of room again, so I'll have to hold off getting into bullet casting. I've got one table that is perfectly level, for my scope mounting jig, and for welding, and for reloading. I have to move stuff, all the time. The long table is for assembly and disassembly, and gun repairs. Then I have a 3X5 table in the corner, for polishing, and small parts work, as I have one of those magnifier lights mounted over it. The room is 10X20, and is getting downright crowded! I've added a shelf here, and e shelf there, and they seem to fill up in no time at all. LOL!

Are you casting your own bullets? I had a little accident, while casting 30 caliber balls, for an old muzzleloader. I ended up with lead on the ceiling! I bumped the ladle, and lead went everywhere, thank goodness for protective clothing and face gear!

I reload about all of them now! Afriend out here brought me a milk crate full of dies, so I can reload test ammo for almost any gun I repair! I have access to everything from 22 hornet to 45-70, and most in between. I reload .270, .308, 30,06, 300 win mag, .45 ACP, 38 special, .357 mag, .44 mag, 30-40 krag, .223, and 762X39 for my own use! The electronic scale and dispenser helped to make it all easier!
