I'd be all over this if it had a GC option. It'd be perfect for my 4 5/8 SBH

I saw NOE's, but I don't have the LEE die and I'd like to use my existing dues without adding another. I might get in touch with lathesmith.

Is there anyone around that currently makes or sells custom diameter M style expander buttons for the Lyman expander die?

Put all the boolits back in the pot and started over. I cleaned the mold again, backed off the sprue plate screw about 1/8 turn and got the same rejects.

Bumped up the pot temp a hair and they all...

Thanks for all the help. I'm gonna go through what I have and do a do over after keeping only the near perfect ones.

That's a bummer. They all look great except for some rounding on half the lower band on a few and the diameter is correct, just wondered if the gas check would make it inconsequential.

I'm running...

I just cast my first non black powder boolits and I have some with rounded corners on the lower band on half the boolit.

I was using the NOE 360-180 mold.

I'm figuring the problem was to...

Was hoping to get in on this, but looks like I'm too late. Maybe next run

Thanks again for all the help

I started coming to the forum hoping to get in on a group buy for a 180 gr wfn for my 357.

Soon I started thinking CB loads for my old military rifles would not...

Think I'm gonna try the 155 gr first. I can always use it in 7.62x39 if it doesn't shoot in the Mossin. I'll go with the Lyman later if it doesn't work.

Thanks for all the info. My bore is a bit on the large side. But maybe the 185? Or both.

I want to start casting for my M44 and I was looking at one of the Lee molds.

I see some use the 155 gr boolit and others prefer the 185 gr. I just wondered if there were advantages or...

Thanks for all the info everyone.

What kind of molds are those? Those bullets look outstanding

I'm assuming gas checks are a big plus with softer alloys and full power magnum loads.

I plan to load to about 1300 fps in 357 and 44 magnum.

If my scrap lead is indeed wheelweights (I'm sure that's what he told me). Should they be water dropped at this Pressure?

I want the...

Because 54 caliber bullets are often difficult to find in my area, I accquired a 54 caliber maxi hunter mold. I haven't cast any yet.

I had an unknown alloy that I suspected was wheel weight...

Tried it in .38 and 44 loads

It's everything everyone says it is and I really like that it fills the case too.

I've never casted a bullet before. So far my casting experience is limited to fishing jigs.

I want to start off casting hunting bullets for my 357 and 44 mags. Tho the 357 is carried as a trail...
