I tried the 2nd batch of 10 rounds and about 50% of them keyholed at 10 yards on a new USPSA target. Same die settings as my Unique loads which make nice perfect holes.

Back to the drawing board,...

I finally got a chance to load some rounds Saturday and then test them yesterday.

Loaded 3.6gr and 3.8gr at 1.10 OAL with the TL356-124-2R which is ESPC and comes out at 127gr.

Accuracy was...

I run multiple batches back to back, 16 mins from time I put in oven till I take out using HF Red and Black.

I was able to pickup a 1lb container of Titegroup locally a few hours ago. I'm hoping to be able to load up some test rounds in the next day or two so I can shoot them on Thursday when I hit the...

Thanks for the replies. I will keep Titegroup in the possible powders column. I need to reload on supplies here in the next week or two.

Does anyone have experience with Titegroup in 9mm with ESPC Bullets (bases not coated) in 9mm?

I know a lot of people don't suggest it with plain cast as it burns really hot...I take it would be...

I am going to try out the lazy susan option. I was looking around online and Truvalue has a lazy susan hardware kit for $4.99. Going to try and pick one up soon and use a piece of scrap plywood to...

Hey Everyone,

I'm interested in seeing the work space setup of people to ESPC.

I was using one of the Craftsman guns before it broke into several pieces and it still charged the powder...I...

I mixed HF Red and Black (about 50/50) and it turned out really cool looking. Not sure I have any of those left...I'd have to look.

I still haven't decided entirely what I'm going to do. I think I'm going to revisit tumble lubing with 45/45/10 and now BLL (found some of the wax last night) while I figure it out.

I am not...

I picked up the last 2 cans at my local True Value today. I am looking forward to trying out this lube.

2 coats for 9mm should be good?

I really don't...I just don't want to deal with smoke during matches and gunky dies anymore.

You know I love watching his videos, I cleaned out my Lyman and tried this the same night too. The...

So last Thursday I went to PC some bullets for this upcoming weekend (ya I'm that far behind...shame on me no USPSA match for me now :sad: ) and my Craftsman/Amazon PC gun bit the dust. The grip had...

Same I just sized some Lee 358-125-RF's that after coating were as much as .366 down to .358 with no issues. I just spray them with a lil bit of case lube to smooth it out.

I have an XD9 service with about 13k through it. About 4k FMJ/Plated, 2k Lubed Lead, 1k SNS Hi-teks, 3k HF Red (tumbled) and 3k HF Matte Black.

I haven't noticed any wear in the barrel.

I plan...

Did you ensure you weren't scraping coating off when seating?

AMMOLOAD, IMT have those ledges...they hit the scrap bucket right away. I've seen multiple pictures of those cases separating at the ledge.

I'm basically out of 9mm booolits, I need them bad for next month. Just going to have to suck it up one night and do it.

It's been in 80's and decent humidity and I cast in my garage which is...

I toss CBC, Tula (Brass) and Amerc in the scrap bucket. Does not play nice with deeply seated .358 boolits in 9mm.

I run a mixture of range scrap and coww. Runs in the 10 BNH range power coated. Pushing a PC'ed 130gr slug at 1075 average FPS with no leading in 9mm. I probably will drop a 1/10 of a grain...

I size just once after casting. I started using just a lil bit of spray case lube on them (RCBS Case Slick).

I'm going down 5-6 thousands so it makes it easier and smoother.

I only cast for pistol mind you...and 95%+ of my shooting is action shooting (USPSA/IDPA).

If I was just shooting staticly I could get away with regular lube....however I've been whited out way to...

I might have had the same thing happen to me recently on my first smelt.

I was weighing out my range scrap that I pick off the top of the berm when I found a live 9mm round I must have picked off...

5 years ago I only had a few hunting guns since then I started carrying concealed daily, which lead to more shooting, which lead to reloading, which lead to shooting competitions which lead to...

Well I've officially smelted for the first time now :grin: I weighed out all the range scrap I picked up last summer, about 65lbs raw and threw it in a large stainless steel pot I picked up at...
