Go to silencertalk.com. There is a wealth of information there and a lot of knowledgeable people.

There is good information on here. I wouldn't start out with someone's data unless published. A good starting point is going to be well known book. like hornady, lyman, nosler, etc. Keep some notes...

I had some large pieces of soft lead and I used a large chisel and a big hammer. Just don't miss and hit yourself :-(.

Are you guys that are buying the .360 have intentions to size the boolit down to .359 or .358 or do you have larger chambers that you are needing the bigger size for? I planned on sizing down, but...

Please sign me up for a Brass 2 cavity .360 HP PB w/ all pins. chris_sones_1 (at) hot mail (dot) com

Yep, that's what I'm wanting to do.



I have the 600 lap paste. Just trying to understand how you are using a brass piece to lap. I'll try and play with a fired case to see if I can use it to...

Here are some pictures before I cleaned the barrel.

Here is a pound cast I tried doing for the first time.

Sorry, I was having a hard time explaining it. I'm talking about the chamber. The edge that leads into the throat.

I've had trouble with a problem for awhile now on my 300 blackout and think I may have my problem figured out, but don't know how to fix it. I've been using powder coated boolits. The other day I...

I've had great luck with it in my 9mm and 45 acp.

Is straight carnauba wax or Johnson paste wax used for the Micro-crystalline Wax? Is the white petrolatum a Vaseline? If not where is it found or what is it? I see that it seems to be critical to use...

I've only tested some in an AR 300blkout for functionality. No accuracy test yet. I like the design, but need to work up some loads. I'd like to see how it performs in my .308 win.

Beagle, those remind me of Christmas!

I don't know if I've ever seen an accuracy issue between the 3, but I haven't shot enough to see if there is a difference. If you are sizing the NLG down by much it can be a hard push through the...

There are so many lubes out there. I can understand the confusion of where to start. After making and playing with lubes initially, I'd recommend buying some just because it is cheap and goes a long...

The main concept of coating or lubing boolits is to create a seal and keep hot gasses from cutting them during their travel down the barrel. So by loading a plain lead boolit will probably gas cut...

Start low and work up. Your target and barrel will tell you.

I'm hoping someone chimes in on this also.

It doesn't look like anyone mentioned this yet so I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. When I first started with AR blackout I was producing brass out of 5.56 brass also. I read enough to know what...

I've enjoyed reading through the posts and seeing everyone's thoughts. Here are some questions I've picked up on that others are essentially asking in order to understand if you truly want to take on...

Smash test passed on the boolits I PCed at a higher temp. Guess I'll have to shoot some and see if they do any better.

I ran a temp test on my oven last night and found that it fluctuates about 20 deg. I'm pretty sure its a convection oven (because it has a fan inside... is that correct?). I was using 2 thermometers...

I'm pretty sure the fit is good as I did a few slugs and chamber casts before I put the barrel on the gun. I think there could be something off with the cure temp. I wanted to test my oven last...

Smoke, at 400F roughly how long after 15min. can you cook a boolit before it overcooks, or will it over cook if you are truly at 400F? Probably depends on the amount of boolits going in...

I'm...

It seems like I had trouble with sizing to .311 and getting some to chamber also before yesterdays session. With the test rounds yesterday they had been sized to .309 prior to coating. Then sized to...
