FORTUNECOOKIE45LC - THE HOT LEAD ZONE

This video goes into the considerations in our ammo crimping. Part 2 will go into the execution of our ammo crimping. - - We see a lot of ammo crimps on videos - some we like, and some we don't. This video breaks down the mystic nature of crimps and distills what it is about crimps we like and conversely, what about crimps we do not like...

A shortened less detailed version of this is posted on YouTube along with a message that the Hot Lead Zone has a new home on RUMBLE. - - Changing dies would seem to be an easily accomplished task for users of the RCBS Lube-A-Matic 2 Sizer Lubricator for our cast bullets. Turns out that the retaining nut often will not catch the threads or become cross threaded requiring repeated attempts before it finally is replaced. Perhaps others have found this quick and easy method to reattach the retaining nut, but it is reported in this video to provide that information...

Before we cast our lead bullets, we need to have our raw range scrap lead made into clean antimonial lead ingots (3-4% antimony from the range). Let's go ahead and make those in this video...

This video would have had 400,000 views but for it being banned on another platform. - - Always good to have some tips on bullet casting for those longer casting sessions...

Well, our cast bullets - we want no leading, superb accuracy, hardness, malleability, expansion and penetration....Is it possible to have it all, or are our cast bullets doomed to be a whole lot of trade offs at best... Let's look at this issue...

This is a video banned on other channels - - Why not save time by mixing our wheel weights or range scrap alloys right in the casting pot and make bullets directly? We would be cutting out the middle man - and lead ingots would be the middle man. Let's check out the reasons lead ingots are beneficial to us bullet casters...

The needs of metallic silhouette shooters require accurate stabilized bullets at long ranges. 50 yards offhand is long range for many of us who have been neglecting this important discipline. If we can shoot offhand well at 50 yards, then longer ranges are eminently possible. But lots of practice will get us there - and a good cast silhouette bullet will help make all that possible. The fun awaits us...

For many of today's shooters, the 50 yards and farther offhand disciplines have been neglected. And shooting proficiency is definitely perishable. So let's get reacquainted by shooting our 44 Magnum or 45 Colt lever guns or carbines offhand at 50 yards.
