I currently do this...

1. Cast bullets from lead alloy
2. dry tumble and powder coat bullets
3. size powder coated bullets one by one through a Lee .401" sizer
4. Load bullets into rounds on...

This is sort of like "guess how many jelly beans are in the jar"....

except it's way better :)


I don't have a scale at my house but when I get this thing hauled up to my buddies to smelt it...

There definitely is SOME air in there.... but I kid you not when I say a lot of this lead was pulverized into dust... that lead dust took up most of the empty air inbetween the bigger pieces...

...

I just went and emptied the bullet traps at my local range... I didn't know what I was in for.

I brought a five gallon bucket thinking I might be able to fill it a quarter to MAYBE a half way...

In your diagram above, what does BB and FP stand for? Beveled Base and Flat Base??

you mean no lube on the PC'd bullet is no good?

we shouldn't need to lube them once PC'd anyway, defeats ze purpose,

more and more research is showing that this mold has a pretty bad track...

I was there for these tests, as well as for the entire loading process from start to finish with the OP.

I've read some pretty unfavorable reviews for the LEE TL mold designs in 9mm, it seems (to...

Just completed my first ever batch of PC boolits, the results were fantastic!

I can't believe something worked so well on the first try, rarely do I find that to be the case in the reloading...

x2... Funny you posted that, my situation is almost identical. This will be my first time throwing my lot in with the powder coaters.

My PBTP order should be arriving today, perhaps tomorrow, and...

Hey all,

So once funds arrive this week I will be purchasing my first competition pistol: a Springfield XDm 5.25" in 9mm

The purpose of this pistol is to finally get my foot in the door with 3...

haha uh-oh.... well for my first attempt I will have to be using my normal oven... whatever, I have no wife to answer to, I'm only poisoning myself ;)

I've just put in an order from PowderBuyThePound for 1lb of Super Durable Wet Black pc.

I am a 100% powder coat newbie, never tried this in my life, so this will hopefully be a testament to how...

congrats on a great refinish job,

I refinished my beech K31 for basically the exact same reasons you refinished yours, I didn't buff the rifle's dents out at all though, I just pretty got a fresh...

I'm assuming you plan on using it for subsonic loads with heavy boolits in your 300blk?

Can't wait to use it in the Makarov, should be great, and if I can use it to push .30 cals then all the...

Wow.... thanks Ben, you definitely helped me answer my own question as to whether or not I should buy the 8lbs of American Select at my LGS... can't wait to work with that stuff,

I....love.... my..... k31

It was the first rifle I ever shot a 1" group with at 100yrds using iron sights and handloads.

If you pick it up for $199 you are basically getting it for $100 less...

The 300Blackout cartridge is a cast shooter's dream cartridge.

I went with it for my first and currently only AR build in my collection. I was upset to learn that 5.56 is relatively finicky as...

Anyone here used American Select powder for reduced .30cal loads?

It's available at my LGS and I've read great things about it for use in the .45 and .9mm, and the burn rate falls in the range...

The inside actually looks perfect, luckily.

The rust on the outside is just surface rust, would be removed in seconds with a little attention.

@JohnB_in_Glencoe - I am thinking of selling...

Hey all,

Wanted to see what you all could tell me about this mold and it's worth?

Enjoy Kevin!!! I already put down a good word for the Swedes on this thread, but I'll say it again, Swedes are the best!!!

I got my 1903a3 not long ago and have been loving that too, I must say,...

PM sent to ya Kevinakaq!

I am selling a 1901 M38 Swede that is absolutely perfect for vintage matches,

I've posted my First range report posted in a new thread here on the forum!

I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of my first range day with my new 300BLK build, finally today was my day, albeit the weather was not in my favor ;)

...This is just the beginning of much...

Most likely you are not seating that boolit deep enough into the case for it to have any sort of solid neck tension...

My NOE 312-129 boolit, when seated to the crimp groove, measures an OAL of...
