1700 lb LEAD KEEL **UPDATE**

Doesn't work as in still have leading? If so, what does your 9mm bore slug out to and what are you sizing it down to?
Dude I have been on cast boolits since july 2013. I have read the 300 + pages of the hitek thread, and the ton of pc threads also. I have tried everything.
Theres nothing that you can teach me about this. Really. I have an ESPC gun, I have a convection oven with a PID, I have tried different hitek coatings, different ratios, quantities, drying time, cooking time, heat treated bullets or not, sized 356, 357, 358, expander mod, min crimp, measure pulled out, ANYTHING.
I have tried everything. Feel free to read my 790 posts.
We came to the conclusion that my alloy doesnt work with 9mm pressure.
I'll just lube and see if that works. It's much faster anyway. Hitek has to be cooked, deal with the oven, the fumes, the 2-3 coats, 15 min each, blllaaaaaa jesus.
Just sucks that I have trashed my 2 bottles of 45/45/10 last summer because I though that hitek would fix it all.
I have 2 bottles of alox on order to make myself some new 454510....
also trying some yellow dragon lube.
Maybe if it all works, either I'll just tumble lube 454510 or I'll get a star sizer with canauba red.
But really, I don't really see what's hard with tumble lubing 454510... takes like 5 minutes to do a couple thousand.... cant really beat this.
oh yeah, pc and hitek bullets are pretty. But they still lead in 9mm for me.
45 and 38 special were ok. half the pressure.
Honestly, if you want to talk about it, see my threads on castboolits. not starting over here.
Jesus, sorry man, didn't realize that I needed to run forum background checks across the Internet before typing about 10~ words to try to help out.
I wasn't trying to teach you necessarily, but as somewhat of a rookie to this (compared to "casting since 2013") I was running through the few things I have learned and simply suggested slugging.
Again, terribly, terribly sorry
Nice!
Kryogen, here is your new tag line ;-)
Sometimes I do wish we had a like button.

So, did this happen?
Was this the boat in Bronte? I talked to that guy, think it was a Cal25?
I had a plan to have a 40yd bin delivered and have the marina use the tractor lift to dump it in the bin, of course just cutting the keel off just prior to that... Unfortunately, I couldn't make the timing work meeting the guy and further to that, the fact that it had no motor and was stacked around a million dollars worth of boats in slips was sketchy at best....
But, any updates?

No this was in the smithville area. The guy never got back to me.
There's a guy on the other side of my block who gas had a boat sitting in his driveway. Next time I see him out I'll ask if it has a lead keel and if he is interested in selling. At least I can do it in my driveway.

Neighbours would love you. lol. fiberglass and lead everywhere!
I really think the way to go is the dumpster. Once the keel is gone, the tippage is low..

Depends how many posts you have on cast boolits.
