Mathoms... Like it, thanks for the education!

Thanks for the replies!

Ever have a thing you have no use for but oddly keep around as it just seems wrong to toss it out? :p

Thanks for the replies.

gwpercle, I will reach out to Pressman, but I do know what it is (a boolit luber), I just do not know any details about it.

Wayne, no I do not have any other heads in...

Hi all,

Years back I obtained a couple of boxes of reloading items from the family of a prodigious reloader who had passed.

One of the items is the bullet lubricator pictured here. I've never...

Thanks LBS!

Thanks CC

Tested out my first load with the TL452-230-TC today.

It shot accurate with no failure to feed issues, no leading and no keyholing.

5.5 of Unique
OAL 1.18
Powder Coated and sized to .452
...

Went to the range today and tried out two different OAL over 5 grains of Unique. This was the first time shooting powder coated boolits, which I had sized to .357.

One load was 1.11 and the other...

Hi Cary, yes .367 was supposed to read .357....complete typo goof on my end. I’ll keep that boolit it in mind. I’m thinking of getting a second mold for my 9mm. I’m actually in the garage now...

Yes .357... thanks for pointing that out, just a typo [emoji854]

Make that a OAL of 1.118. The proposed 1.15 did not plunk well...

Hi all,

I'm planning on loading some 9mm this weekend and am seeking advice on my proposed load which will be used in a Glock 19.

The boolit is TL365-124-2R cast from wheel weights, powder...

So I ran a test batch of the TL356-124-2R tonight.

As suggested, I took a cone-shaped polishing pad dipped in rubbing compound to the sizing die to polish it up. I don't have any emmory cloth on...

Thanks for all the advice guys! [emoji106]

Thanks Walter, I ordered s thermometer a bit earlier today [emoji106]

Thanks for the reply JC. The toaster oven is new to me and I do not have a oven thermometer to test it...sounds like I need to get one.

Hi all,

Based on the majority of replies to an earlier post of mine I purchased some PC from Smoke and PC'd my first couple of batches...I'm getting the hang of it...I think!

When I casted I...

Thanks, JBinMN I had been to Alliant's site but did not see the online-sources thread you shared. Much appreciated.

Thanks too, CharlieB I had searched for Lee's data online as well and came up...

My new Lee TL452-230-TC 6 cavity showed up yesterday! Looking forward to giving it a go this weekend. Rsrocket1, what powder and charge are you using in your 1.17 COL load?

EMR, thanks for the reply and clarifying things for me. For some reason I was thinking the difference desired was .01 to .02 (YIKES!) hence the question in my last post. I'm ordering a .357 sizer...

Update: I followed bboque1's suggestion and created a slug out of some pure lead melted into a 9mm case. The slug mic'd out at .3556 and an average of 10 powder coated boolits came it at .36464...

That would be great Charlie, thank you

thanks for the slug tutorial bbogue1, I'll give it a go.

Both are from Lee molds, the green is 9mm 6CAV TL356-124-2R and the black is .45 6 CAV TL452-230-2R

So I did it! My first PC run...workable with some room for improvement [emoji6]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180213/675a685a99b127ab8628b6d20bd6f784.jpg
