Bookmark or Share- zinc jacketed bullets - The Firearms ForumWhat RMR has done is to create a zinc alloy for their jackets, so probably not technically brass. However zinc alloys are used a lot in industry because they cast so well. Germany invented ZAMAK, a specific zinc alloy that is used quite a bit in the firearms industry. It's an acronym for Zinc, Aluminum, MAgnesium, and Kupfer (German for copper).
- Cast .224 bullets? - The Firearms ForumI have a baby sharps in 22 hornet, I usually reload using jacketed bullets. I've been contemplating shooting cast bullets however the producers of .225 bullets shows either out of stock or simply don't make them. I thought about trying casting them but it appears there are a lot of problems casting such small bullets.
- Lead Casting - Part 1 | The Firearms ForumOk, you have lead, or lead alloys, perhaps some of it is scrap, etc, now you need to make useable ingots to feed your melting pot. Melting down your scrap lead and cleaning it is called smelting. I use a cast iron skillet and a propane burner. I put my cut up lead shielding, range scrap, etc in there, then start the burner.
- Safe to shoot? Type 99 arisaka - The Firearms ForumI read somewhere that some of the early training/parade Type 38's actually had more cast iron in the receiver than steel and they would let go, but I still haven't seen one of those receivers yet. I bought my first Type 99 receiver a few years ago, and like everything else they just kind of multiplied around the house.
- making steel targets - The Firearms ForumThe majority of steel weight lifting weights that I have seen have been of cast construction. They 'might' work for a while as a .22 LR target, but a centerfire round will probably quickly shatter or crack it. Cast iron is fairly strong, but it is often actually quite brittle and can be broken just by dropping it on a hard surface.
