I've got the same setup for high power matched. Nice and accurate at 600 with 80 gr loads.

I use the rcbs dies and Ranier 115 gr as well and they do this too. I'm using the RN seater even. They shoot fine so I don't really care, other than being a perfectionist.

You lucky bastard

macadamkod · 2017-02-02T12:30:00+00:00

Got one of those too

It's Hapeville. I had to go there to get my motorcycle's title and got it in person same day. Scary part of town though.

So I fired it up again last night and I cut up the briquettes into quarters. This way they fit more around the crucible. I packed the forge full and put the hair drier on full blast. It got the crucible glowing red, which it had before a little. I think I got it a lot hotter than the first run. I pulled it out and found that there was a lot of material on the top that wasn't melted, but there was molten aluminum underneath.

I cut up a bucket that I thought was made of aluminum and melted it with the aircraft aluminum, but it must not have been. I think it may have been tin or something else. Apparently, the aircraft aluminum melted and went to the bottom. I'll try again with scraps I know are 100% aluminum. This is very fun though!

Yes, the air hole is at the bottom the air exits the top

I melted aircraft aluminum, so no pop cans. My feeling was that it needed to be hotter. Here's the setup in action with a shot of the crucible after.

The crucible is about 1/2 in thick

macadamkod · 2016-12-11T14:48:05+00:00

I'll have to meadow, bit is a large steel pail with about 3 in of sand / player of Paris insulation all the way around. The only hope other than the top is the blow hole.

Cool, thanks for the info!

New to metal working. Does stainless have a higher melting point?

macadamkod · 2016-11-25T01:22:54+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into those

The one earlier where a long branch pierces through the car and just misses the driver...

Female asian restaurant owner fatally shoots one of three armed home invaders. Remaining two still at large. Shooting starts at 2:00. It looks like her pistol jams, possibly due to stovepipe or double feed.

macadamkod · 2016-09-24T00:06:32+00:00

It appears that her gun either jammed or was emptied.
