I have both (both OK) but find the Lyman better because of the concave base. I just ordered RCBS because Lyman was back ordered to Sep 7. Otherwise I would have gotten Lyman.

I had a 20# pot that dripped badly. I added a small vice grip wrench to the top of the rod to add weight... slowed the drip, but not completely. A mistake I was making was adding sprue cutting...

Love my XDs45, but it doesn't like lswc. I'm currently looking at a tc bull from MP Molds #68. My 1911 doesn't like the LSWC either. I'm hoping to feed them both the 68 and/or a 230g LRN from...

ROBS ,,, mine is the new one. Im hoping I can get the TC to run in both 1911 and XDs

Think it is a failure to chamber. It seems that the ramp on the XDs is too steep. I ordered a Mihec mold but it is a SWC. I sent email asking if I could change order to round nose... but have not...

Thanks

Any suggestions or techniques for changing out lube in a Ly-4500? I have used it once with red stuff but now have a new LBT mold and soft blue stuff. What is your favorite way to clean out the old,...

I'm somewhat new to casting and have only used an RCBS mold recently. I bought 2 Lee molds for .38 (WC and SWC tumble lubbers) to try. The instructions say to lube parts of the mold and many FORUM...
