I have about 100lbs. of pure lead, 300lbs. of alloy (mostly wheel weights).  I also have a large cast iron lead melting pot, a small Lee electric lead pot, a Lyman Lubrisizer, several dies for it including a .50 Cal, a slightly used Zouave barrel by whitacre, cleaning rods, patches, replica ram rods, and many jags, brushes, several bullet moulds etc.  I want to get rid of everything and am offering all for $100.

My question for the group.  Does anyone use a smith mold for there spencer?  If the resizing die is not big enough, I assume I can get a machinist to turn it to .518?

I am the buyer.  Once I inventory everything, I will let the group know.

"Beagle" the mould.  See this article on mould enlargement;
