Thanks Larry!

Hi y’all,
I recently came into 2 pounds of AA4064. As it seems to be a favorite for 30-06, I figured it would be good for its Russian cousin. I’m running a 200grn cast boolit with gc. Anybody got a...

Gents...I need some advice, please. I recently bought a Winchester (actual Winchester) ‘73 in 45 Colt. As I cast boolits for all my firearms, I made up a bunch of boolits using the Lee 452-255-RF...

Guys...I recently came into a great buy for 4lbs of Red Dot. I understand that it is a great powder for 45 ACP, but can it be used for 9 mm? I am using lee powder coated Tumble Lube 120 grain...

I live in Sacramento area, so not real dry in the winter...humidity is 50% on average. I only use range scrap and water quench every boolit. I started using HF, then Eastwood and Smoke's powders. I...

Hi guys....reading this whole thread and absorbing as much as i can. I came here because I too get some leading in my 9mm Shield, but none at all with my Sig 2022. Using a Lee TL356-124-RN then water...

I pc gloss Smoke's gloss black with no probs. I thought i read somewhere its the flat black that is a possible problem.

Looking forward to your results. Is this your first time trying cast in an AR?

Thanks Motor. I just received my new .357 sizing die....if this doesnt work, I will up to a .358 mould.

It just occurred to me that I havent tried shooting these in another gun. My wife has a Sig AR. Looks like ill be sneaking hers out this weekend!

Thanks very much. I really want to make this work, and its pretty frustrating that everbody else seems to have success. My AR is DI 16" 1x9 Delton upper...pretty plain vanilla stuff. Should I try gc?...

A bit OT, but seeing your comments about the leading and sending off to Doug Guy....my 9mm Shield leads up very easily despite my pc. It slugs at .356 and i size my Lee TL356-124-2R boolits to that,...

Do either of you guys gc your boolits? Maybe that's what my problem is.

That sounds better. I only have a Lynam 49th edition and is has 21.0 starting for 55grn cast.

Well guys....im having miserable luck with mine! My AR is a 16" bbl, 1x9 twist basic Delton upper. I casted boolits with my RCBS 22-55-SP mold using straight linotype, pc with Smoke's and no gc. I...

Well guys...I tried the rounds with the filler, and still no joy. I have been told that the reason i'm having so much trouble with jams is because the bolt is not being driven back far enough due to...

Thought I just take the leap of faith and try adding some filler on a few rounds. Found a glove that was insulated with what appears to be Dacron. Put some tufts down into 5 rounds each of 20.0,...

Another example of outstanding USMC ingenuity! Adapt...improvise.....overcome. Cant wait to try this!

So you're essentially saying water quenching has no real effect in the long run?

Thanks Larry (I also am experimenting with my two Mosins but thats another thread I'd like to chat with you about). Ok guys....I'm going to have t make a withdrawal from the knowledge bank. Using...

Awesome....thanks Larry. I also load 7.62x54R with cast boolits. I'm sure this will help!

Thanks 10T...looks like I'm on the right track with the loading. I pc my boolits and size them .225, then crimp with Lee FCD. If it will stop raining long enough this Saturday, I'll try out my 20...

It is a Del-ton 16" barrel in 1x9 twist. I have read a bunch of threads that talk about fillers, but have yet to see where anybody has said why is it done, what does it do, and when you should or...

Hi guys. Tried my first attempt for casting boolits for .223, powder coating with Smoke's Flame Red, no gas checks. Following this thread, I used your recommendations for IMR4895. Loaded up 5 rounds...

sorry...round...not room!
