The easy way to remove the ring from tall brass is to run it through the primer station with the primer plug removed. Then there's plenty of travel. It adds one step to the process because you...

It's one of the classic moulds for the 357 magnum. It's a keeper!

I'd like a 2-cavity HP on both cavities. Is this brass or aluminum?

I've got Williams sights on several of my Winchester 94's. They're wonderful to shoot and the accuracy matches quite nicely with the limitations of the firearm. (They aren't designed for 800 yard...

Forum: Gas Checks
I'd sure be glad to buy a couple of boxes of Hornady 44 caliber gas checks for that price if there's any left! I'll pay shipping too. They've become rather difficult to find.

I've bought a set for each of my moulds. They're beautiful pieces of work!

I was given a bunch of lead with moulds I purchased from a gentleman who had been "retired from casting" by his doctor after several decades of not being careful about his hygeine while casting. I...

I had the same problem with mine until I figured out that my pin was not prefectly centered when I twisted the pin to tighten it to the mould. I now only turn the locking screw enough to hold it in...

Don't have that problem at our local indoor range in Sacramento, California. All handgun calibers are okay, and they're happy to have you bring your own ammunition. Their only rule is that if...

I really appreciate the inputs here. I'm shooting these in a S&W 357 Magnum - 627 so it's capable of handling anything that a 38 case can hold but I'm looking for just plinking loads at the range. ...

I recently acquired the subject RCBS mould and am looking for some good load data for use in a 38 Special. My preferred powder is Unique. Does anyone here have experience with this bullet? Thanks...

Thanks guys. I thought so, but wasn't sure.
Forum: Gas Checks
I realize this is probably the mother of all stupid questions, but can someone give me the Hornady stock number for the correct gas check to use with the Lyman 358156 bullet?
Thanks in advance.

Somehow the smell of baby powder at the firing line just doesn't seem right. I've come to expect certain smells when I'm shooting and baby-fresh talcum isn't anywhere near the top of the list! ...

I have a whole stack of the lead "jars" from a nuclear pharmacy. They're great for casting. I add just a little tin to a 20 lb pot and get great bullets. I'm not sure what the exact compostion is,...
