I used one of the old style 20lb propane tanks and cut it off just below the weld seam to use as a melt pot. I then took and cut a ring from the top half of the tank to use as a wind screen around...

Did you measure the boolit after sizeing to see if they are sized to .401?

I found mine at Menards in the household cleaners area.

What do I owe you.

Thanks

Ok thanks, Maybe I will try lapping again.

The only foil tape I could find is ipg brand intertape polymer group.
Mold drops great boolits but the tape falls off after 200-300 boolits is this normal?
I looked for 3M brand but this is all I...

I do believe all new model Marlin lever actions in pistol caliber 38/357,44Mag,45colt all use ballard rifleing. All also have a mag capacity of 10rds except for the 1894C.

I have 20-24'' Marlins and 20-30" Uberti 73s booth round barrel carbines and octagon cowbys, Presently I am having a Marlin 94 44mag cut down to 16" trapper length for hunting. Guess you could say I...

So has anything more been done with this idea?
The 265 RD looks to be about the same but I missed out on the RDs.
I dont care for the GC or weight of the Lee 310 so I got to wondering about haveing...

Keepem coming.
My intended usage is 1894 Marlin and a 7 1/2'' SRH.

I also have Red Dot, Blue Dot, and VV310, But figured the first 3 were most appropriate.

Thanks

240-270grs
No GC
Large meplat

Looking for suggestions for a 44 mold that will work smooth in a Marlin 1894.
Think I would prefer PB maybe BB dont like the idea of monkying with GCs.
Casting with WW would like something like...

92-2-6 is what I was needing to know.

Thanks

I have been mining lead from some local ranges which shoot nothing but cast lead bullets, Going by the type shooting the range lead would consist of the following
98% commercial cast
1% WW
1/2%...

I dont recall who but someone here tracked the BHN of bullets cast from WW over a 15 year period and found little difference 1-2 BHN so I would say they havnt changed much.

I have heard of several people loading the 200gr rn to oal of 1.250 and crimping on the front driving band.

Is the Lee 230gr 2r your referring to this one TL452-230-2R I dont see any other one...

Any opinion on the differences between the Lee 200 rnfp and the 230TC ?
I would prefer the lighter 200gr but feed reliability is more important overall.
The 200gr RNFP appears to be made for 45Colt...
