Good advice. As an aftermarket part, I have found KKM barrels to be well worth the money. They really like cast boolits. I noticed an immediate increase in accuracy.

You guys are great - I knew someone would ID it. Thanks!

Thanks - it doesn't hurt my feelings at all. The suggestion that it may hold some value came from someone else. I simply don't know what I am looking at. I can put my hands on it in a few weeks...

I'm tying to ID this single shot gun (it appears to be an 8 or 10 gauge, but I'm not a shotgun expert). My father in law passed away a couple of years ago and these parts were found in his office. ...

For volume case prep there is nothing better I have tried. I use it only for pistol and .223.

I had outstanding results with a KKM Glock 21 barrel. Scary accurate with 200 gr swc.

I do have some on hand that I really have no other use for. I think the range scrap I have access to will turn out fairly soft as it is mostly (98%) going to be jacketed pistol bullets (fmj mostly...

I have a bunch of linotype on hand. Would it make sense to mix a little of this in with the range scrap to get to 13-15 bhn (which is what I want)? I am fairly proficient with casting straight COWW...

Update: After a long summer without much shooting I did get the time to load up some boolits with the KKM barrel and the gen 4 Glock 21. If anyone is on the fence about buying a KKM, just pony up...

I'm going to be getting a KKM aftermarket barrel for my Glock 21 soon - specifically for shooting cast. Just dropping a line to see if anyone else here on the forum has one and what their...

I guess I lucked out. I was looking for a case gauge in a box with some LE Wilson parts that I was given and I found a small rifle primer pocket reamer that I didn't even know I had! It's in good...

Thanks for all the good information. I am just getting into the higher volume reloading. Thinking really hard about the Dillon unit or the RCBS. I have a bunch of brass to sort through now and a...

+1 for PMAGS

What is the fastest/easiest way to do this without breaking the bank. I an getting my hands on some mil brass that crimped primer pockets and looking for the fastest, most effective way to do it...

Some great ideas here. Speed isn't a big concern but accuracy is for the intended purpose. I appreciate all the replies. Having access to all of this knowledge certainly shortens the learning...

ktw - thanks for the comprehensive responses
Calamity Jake - hopefully mine will shoot like yours

On the matter of gas checks I was able to find them online - if all else fails you can still can get them from Hornady direct.

Thanks for the feedback. I have plenty of loading data for that specific boolit from an older Lyman manual (#46). Depending upon the alloy I think I can expect a 125-130 grain boolit. I'll try...

Looks like I just struck a deal for a Lyman 280473 and I will shortly begin casting for my .270. To date my experience has been casting for handguns and, more recently, a 38-55 model 94. I guess...

Thanks for the input - I knew someone here would know.

I recently acquired a couple of Lyman dies sets (the 310 type dies) in .270 and .243. Each set has the standard 310 sizing/decapping die as well as the seating die. They also each have another die...

The gun shop owner I spoke of just gave me about a half pound sample of Hunter. I agree with MtGun44 - this stuff is THE powder to have for consistent metering. If it works well for my 110 grain...

A local gun shop owner I know buys Hunter in the 8 lb jugs. He said it works great for .270 hunting loads. I plan on trying some myself

Thanks for the replies - I found someone today that can fix it or mill out another one.

Jcwit - thanks. That sounds like a much easier solution for me.
