In my 581 series I have used a Lyman 225415 & NOE 225-55-FN ( RCBS ). I was advised to use 4198 ( duh ), start with a starting charge and work down until the action no longer functioned. 16.9 gr was...

Very similiar to my experiment. I had loaded these before I saw this thread and they were shot on 3/28. Coincidence? Ruger No1 .45-70, Lyman 457195 HB 223grs, 7 grs RedDot. I tried 6 rounds at...

Two of two new style molds that I bought this spring had to be "finished" just like yours. Would the cost to the manufacturer be that much more to sell a completed product? Other companies might be...

Would a Pyrex chemistry beaker, marked to 1200 ml, hold up to the wisk/mixer tool? Seems a convenient size, permanent volume marking, and able to see them. Or just use an inside marked metal pot if...

Check the Lyman cast bullet manual #3, Has a list for mold #'s & editions they appeared in I believe.

Herco is not listed, but Unique is at max 4gr, also BlueDot max 6.5gr

Check out Lyman 47th Reloading Handbook. 9mm Luger, Lyman 356634 130gr #2 alloy, 1.016" OAL. W231 2.6 to 4.1gr max, Clays 2.2 to 3.2 max. I used several pounds of AA#2 & Imp version through Blkhk...

A good report helps to alleviate anxiety concerning future purchases. My most recent Lyman mold 225415, several years ago now, is very easy to use. It molds at 55 grs with old linotype, but I now...

I was at a 2nd Dr's office today after an MRI,then CT scan, and blood tests. The first office didn't have it on their history forms. She is not employed by the local hospital conglomerate. The...

Is there a correct OAL for the .223 loaded with a Lyman 225415 cast? I have tried different lengths, but currently am using 2.175" ( works in the Ranch Rifle). Also it is a left hand action. First...

I have a Lyman 225415 that I have been casting with Linotype. I lube with thinned LLA, then run through the Lee .225 sizer to seat a Hornady gas check, then lube again. It seems to be a fast way to...

The lever should close with about the same force/pressure with or without loading a cartridge. Just checked mine. A call to Ruger for warranty work may be in order.

In my Ruger No.1 .30-30 I have tried cast RCBS 30-115-SP, Lyman 311466, 31141, and Lee C309-200-R with various charge levels of Red Dot, IMR PB, Universal, IMR 4198, IMR 3031, AA 2700, AA 2230, and...

Just fishing for information. I have several Lee molds. Most fine for the intended caliber. One was oversize, probably within "specs", but still too large for the 9mm. So I use it in the .38 Spl. ...

gas checks will come out with the other debris when the melt is fluxed. Stir well, flux, remove, should be good to go.

I use the flat, square or rectangular "tin" gift boxes some candy or cookies come in. They have slip on lids to keep out dust. Rec'd as Christmas gifts, cheap at Sal Army store, I think I have seen...

1/4"x28 tap, use a hardened bolt. cap head or hex. same thing as RCBS stuck case remover set

Since you are already wearing gloves while casting ( safety, right? ) it's a natural to open the sprue with your gloved hand. It does work easier with small diameter sprue holes or softer lead...

Went down to check my logbook. With .357 mag case overall loaded length 1.55". Have also tried 5.5gr Unique - not chronographed and 4.25gr ( ave of 10 throws from fixed powder bushing) of AA#2 which...

I have a Lyman 4 cav in 357443. Shoot it in a blackhawk for my general use plinking load. Size .358", load in .357 mag cases with 5.5gr IMR PB, CCI 500 primers generally, crimped in the ( I assume )...

This was my first lube/sizer. I have used it with Lyman dies, but when I bought a L450, I installed a die marked .3105, also bought from Herter's. Use it for Ruger .30 Carb BLKH, .300 Sav, .30-30,...

I also say yes. Since you are here you probably cast & reload, so you have a good headstart. Fun shooting gun using moderate power loads. Mine seem quite tolerate in achieving good loads.
