[huntsmanbob]

If anyone is interested in doing some swaps for some .44 rounds i am up for it , they are sold at lot of gun shops in the UK for anything from 10 to 17 quid per 100 & you get about 56 rounds per pound in weight .

I am looking for bushcrafty things

I will be doing it in lots of 56 .44 rounds so depending what is offered depends who many lots you get

I'll make you a knife blade for 300 rounds? Just got a hunting catty so could do with a few.

Hi there Bob, I was interested in where you got your your ball mould. (I tried to send you a PM but apparently you've got them disabled.)

Various, what ever you want really. Some examples here

I have only got 3mm 01 steel at the moment so it would have to be out of that.

 

[rapidboy]

what size is the mould ?

 

[fishfish]

thats the best sized shot for use with my 'Hunter' catties!

 

[johnnytheboy]

you can make a lead mould from car body filler

 

[huntsmanbob]

what size is the mould ?

The mold is .44 which is about 11mm.

You have your PM's disabled mate. Need to PM you my address.

No probs with that style blade. Yes its high carbon steel. 01 high carbon tool steel to be more precise. Its the same material used in the Woodlore knife only 1mm thinner.

I have allot of lead moulds they work best after a few pours when they have a fair bit heat in them, are the lee ones the same?

 

[huntsmanbob]

They heat up pretty quick it s a lot harder keeping them cool when your on a roll.
