You can't upload a video made with windows movie maker to Photobucket, it won't accept the file extension. I've already tried it. Photobucket only uses the .flv file extension.

Yes you can, you just have to select the file type in the "more options" thingy when you go to save... Hard to explain, but it can be done.

I didn't know that, thanks for the info. Regardless, whenever I upload a vid, it's extremely seldom that I have to modify the video before uploading. Next time I do have to edit a vid, I'll remember that I can still upload even if I change the file extension. Thanks Ijit!

EDIT:

Stryker1, when you come back down this way, you're gonna be bringing all that stuff with you right? I hope you do, cuz I am gonna be hitting all the auto shops here this weekend trying to score some wheel weights for us. We should have enough wheel weights between us that we can get some serious ingots out of it.

Yeah, I already have the hook up over at the Auto Hobby shop, Marty's not getting his lead from there anymore. Another thing about Marty's ingots, he doesn't flux them from what I remember. He was making ingots so he could roll his own shot, not make bullets, so I guess he didn't care if there were impurities in the lead.

Oh, and Lou doesn't work at the AHS anymore. He moved back to Texas to be closer to his kids. Next time I talk to him, I'll let him know you said "Hi".

Dude, you rock. Can't wait to get to it.

Taurus: I never saw Marty flux his lead, but if he did, that's cool. Talking to Big Tom a month ago or so, I know that Marty's gotten the equipment together now, and is rolling shot.

I tell ya what though, I don't think Jesus had anything NEAR this in mind when he had the loaves and fishes thing goin' on... :wink:

The lead pipes are not to bad on the inside. I was a plumber for a while and most of the build up comes right out with a couple of hits together???

Even if there is crud inside the pipes, you can always just melt the stuff and it'll flux off the top when you flux and scrape it for trash in the lead.

Nice vid of the molding process Stryker1! I liked the wisecrack "and repeat"... Had me rolling...

Is it a 2 cavity or a 6 cavity mold? This is the one I am thinking of getting from midwayusa.... $38.00 for a 6 cavity mold.

I ordered my 2 lee pots from MidwayUSA tonight. They should be here sometime this week. I got 3 lead ingots from my Dad this week, all of them over 25 pounds each. I brought them back with me from Mississippi and I am ready to start casting!!!!

 

[PrimalSeal]

I GOT MY MELTING POTS TODAY!!!! WOOT!

Bullet factory is NOW open for business! 8)

 

[PrimalSeal]

I thought I would have had time before tonight to make my first ingots, but I didn't until a few hours ago. I have 3, 25 pound lead ingots that I got from my Dad and using half of one of those ingots I made 3 full molds plus a partial mold. That's roughly 15 pounds of lead My bullet molds should be in by Friday....

 

[PrimalSeal]

Well boys, I got my bullet molds yesterday. I got 2, 125 grain 9mm 2 cavity tumble lube molds, and 2, 230 grain .45ACP 2 cavity tumble lube molds. The PrimalSeal bullet factory is open for business. :mrgreen:

 

[PrimalSeal]

Dude, I have had so much on my plate these last 2 weeks with work and all the other things I do, I haven't made any bullets or reloaded anything since the first time I posted. Once I get a chance to scratch my arse and fart, I'll load some up and see how they do in the 995.

Until then I am pretty much just going day to day praying that I see the next morning.

With the Lee Tumble Lube bullets, it's not mandatory that you resize and lube the bullets. I haven't ever done it and have never had any leading in my barrel.

 

[PrimalSeal]

Just to let you know, the Lee Tumble Lube bullets that I shoot, I cast myself. You buy the Tumble lube molds from Lee to cast your own bullets. I currently shoot 9mm TL and .45 ACP TL bullets.
