Ok, as posted I've not done it and was wondering if someone else had tried this. So pre-heating is not required to get the dry powder shake and bake coating to stick.

I'm considering doing some PC bullets for a 300AAC blackout project. I'm a long time caster but never done powder coating. Been reading and trying to get an idea of what works best with the...

A cheap option is a Lee Sizer kit and single stage press first. then lube and size in your .429/.430
I'm a fan of the LFC, That carbide ring prevents the case from "squatting" rather than taking on the taper. I use it on most reloading. I've only seen issues with soft lead swaged bullets in .32...
People do this most of the time. They try to release the trigger while in recoil. You can not help loosening the other fingers while you are loosening the trigger finger. To test: Press and HOLD...
So My Davidson special 4" Ruger Redhawk KRH-414 .41 mag came in yesterday. It comes with Hogue grips. Not monogrips with the screw at the bottom, these are no screw grips. Comes with a little...

My main game is conventional NRA precision pistol (bullseye) But our local shooting range holds leagues for both NRA precision and CCW action. One fairly talented shooter kept pushing me to try the...

There was a guy on this list that made sizing dies for different lube sizers. Can someone direct me to a link?
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
To Buckshot mostly but others feel free to chime in. Shooting old Mil-surp rifles. In 8x57 with a 0.323 bore. What size do you size to? Looking at the lyman sizers I have the choice of .323 or...

Lee makes a similar idea hardness tester. Comes with a little scope thingy that is graduated to measure detent size. It works to go get a rough idea of hardness.
My follow-on question is how to...

Little update on the '03. No cast bullets yet, seems summer has me too busy to trim brass. I did manage to put some surplus Greek Ammo through it. Pretty accurate at 100 yards. About 4" groups...

I have: bullseye, 2400, Unique, Hodgdon Titegroup, H110, Green Dot, WST, 231, and some more I can't remember. Started to fire up the casting pot yesterday then saw a box of .32 DEWC that I had...

So while up at Camp Perry I went to the CMP north store getting feed for my Garand rifle. I'm waiting for them to get to my paperwork when I spy what looks to be an '03 in the rack. Sure enough a...

I'm in the same boat with what I believe to be a zinc clogged Lee Pro 4 pot valve. My pot is about half full of lead since the last casting session. It is my intention to heat this above melting...

Great stories. I have an O3 but my shooting it doesn't work well with my physique. Where my thumb crosses the stock is very near my cheek weld. Such that on recoil, I end up with a fat lip. First...

I know, possibly the LEAST desirable military bolt gun. But it was CHEAP, $50 and the bolt was the same serial number as the receiver. Taking bambi to the processor and got to go past a unfamiliar...
