Thank you everyone for all the great info. The filler was another question I had.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I was worried about the lack of powder in the case and detonation, never really loaded a case this low before.

I am trying to load up for a 30-40 and 175grain cast 100% ww, powder coated and gas checked. I don't have the powder charge but guessing it was around 25 to 27grains of RL7. I got about 1850fps...
Great service and great product. No need to search for scrap or scavenge for let when I just have to send The Captian a message.
awesome, thanks
I have rl7 so even better. I will try the filler.
thanks
I have 340gr and 405gr molds so I am just looking to start there before buying another mold. 44MAG#1. Can you give me a hint of what were the better powders you used in the 340-405 grain cast...

Thanks for the info. I will double check if they are within the 30-30 pressures. I did order the captech brass but I just wanted to know for all of the formed brass that I already have.

I tried to load up some 38-55 brass and also converted 30-30 brass for a 375win and noticed that the brass walls were a bit thinner than factory Winchester 375win brass. When I loaded up a jacket...

I didn't think about the case length, I will just wait for someone to actually produce new 375wn brass or just forget about loading jacketed bullets. thanks for the info.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I have tried the 30-30 fire forming and using 38-55 brass for jacket bullets but the case walls seem to be too thin. Will a lee 375 H&H collet die squeeze the upper part of the brass correctly to...

I have tried the Lee FCD on my cast 40sw, 9mm and 357. I am using a Hornady LNL progressive press and when it get to the crimp stage the rounds seem to enter the FCD rough and the die seems to...

I had asked the same question a few months ago but for a 40s&w. The Hornady PTX was just a hair short on the flair for my cast bullets. I call Hornady and the guy said they could make a custom...

The Lee groups great in my 16" blackout with A1680 subsonic and it is certainly is fun to shoot.
Thanks for the input, I ordered the p-07 last night along with the lee 124gr TC tumble lube. I will try and post how she shots. Thanks again.
Hello. I am thinking about getting a CZ p-07 urban and just wanted to check to see if anyone on here has any experience with this combo, pros or cons. Thanks

Is anyone using the Hornady bullet feed die with cast .401 40s&w? If so did you have to make any adjustments to the feeder die? The guy at hornady explained to me that the feed die does not work...

I am looking to replace the hornady FTX powder through,the inside piece of a case operated powder drop. Does anyone know if the RCBS powderpistol expander would work in the hornady case operated...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I do have the lee expanding die but I am looking for something that goes inside of the case activated powder drop, maybe I am calling it the wrong thing.
