Hey mate, not sure if this is helpful at all, but I work as a jeweller, after casting we drop our metal in to a dry acid. This removed any oxides from casting as well as getting off any flux residue. Might help your cleanup time go a little quicker 👍 Just pool cleaner (ph down) in a 5 liter bucket you'd use about 100 grams of the powder. Mix with boiling water and let it sit. Don't let steel touch it or it will leave a black oxide on everything you put in there

the missing 28 grams could be explained through the green flame you saw on the forge. Brass being a alloy of copper and zinc, in oxidation could have seperated out some of the copper from the brass alloy. Since copper, or more specifically copper sulfate burns a green flame.

Typically a crate of 5.56 or 9mm sells out within 2 or 3 hours so it is instant return. Distributors and retailers are taking advantage of production shortfalls and serious increase in market demand. Once the 7 million new gun owners interest in shooting wanes and people who have been buying and hording any chance they get have a stockpile of more ammo than they have shot in the last 20 years (I know ppl who have bought thousands of rounds and havent fired their weapon more than a couple times) the supply with go back up and profiteers will evaporate further stabilizing the market, it might take another 8-24 months tho.

THe missing weight makes sense; the green fire implied a bit of the copper(possibly copperoxide?) was being burned off. The brick turned out very nice, and I'm now finding myself wondering wether or not he will meld the steel caps as well... From what I can tell, most of the steel looks to me end caps for 12- and 20- gauge shells, I might be wrong but it's a curious thing to note.

Interesting, but 14 AUD, what was the cost of the propane you used? Great fun though.

[@blue03r6]

about to ask the same thing. had to be double or triple what the bar is worth.

[@bigstackD]

I probably spent if I remember correctly about $7AUD In propane, or very close to that. This channel I do is just a hobby so I don’t mind if it cost me a few dollars here and there and that’s why I don’t mind spending $5 in gas and two hours of my time making an $8 bar of copper👌🏻

@@charleshoward8971 Brass obviously, look at the stock he used. On top of that the color is a dead giveaway.

I love your channel. I don't have a forge myself, but I've considered getting one just so I can obsess over having a large quantity of random bullion sitting on a shelf. Keep up the awesome work man. I'll e-mail you if and when I go to buy a devil's forge or what not.

[@lbk1982]

Could the missing amount be accounted for in the material that comes off when you polish and grind the bar?

[@BK-ik5pk]

And the slag

[@lbk1982]

@@BK-ik5pk i thought i saw him weigh the slag afterwards? Ill have to watch again

Some material is lost to evaporation, brass fumes

So how much did the ammo casings cost, the shipping cost for them, and the fuel used to melt down all of it?

[@Neceros]

yo I been watching these videos and didn't realize you got so many subscribers. makes sense. good stuff

[@shadowhenge7118]

The missing kg is probably burnt off plastics from the shotgun casings and other organics.

why this feels like a "Melting simulation game" where you do basic tasks n feed and keep watch of your dog too.

for some reason I thought he was gonna turn them back into usable shells and reload them...

Right now those would have been worth more in shell form if they were in better shape and just needed a few hours in a wet tumbler.
