Rob85 Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Very nice, like casting toy soldiers. How much does that cost you in bismuth? Isn't the cost a bit eye watering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberisle Posted March 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Its just under £25 per kilo i have had bismuth as low as £17 per kilo so its not that expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakin stevens Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Interesting , certainly worth the time and effort , how much does it cost to get a rig setup ? I wasnt going to buy another big bore gun but seeing as they are at sensible money I'm going to have one. This is certainly the way forward for shot making .

aberisle Posted March 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 It is $90 for the mould plus shipping and duty, £70 to £80 for the Lee melter ( you can get then in the UK) and here is the cheapest i have found Bismuth at the moment. Its £16.50 you will also have add in the cost of the tin solder but its not much. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000752944488.html?src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=494-037-6276&isdl=y&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&aff_platform=google&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&&albagn=888888&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&albcp=12555209680&albag=122168291729&trgt=539263010115&crea=en4000752944488&netw=u&device=c&albpg=539263010115&albpd=en4000752944488&gclid=CjwKCAjwxuuCBhATEiwAIIIz0ev5DLQgmqT8oi9DuWmBiTcEvUMm4Ct73eUoquwFKDmjKN-FIUagthoCe7oQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
