A member on a different forum wants to buy my Dillon but he's in... Sweden? I know Dillon sells outside US. Anyone knows anything about that? Your.02 centavos is appreciated too but not helpful :wink:

I thought I'd never see this, but apparently the St Monica gunman had knowledge about guns, he converted a 58 Rem to 45 Colt, that may bring up the fact that one can technically have an unregistered...

I have the same set up but with a Lyman peepsight. I have taken several deer with Hornady Graet Plains bullets, 425 gn. With 90 gn FF shoots very accurate. My dad jst took a doe on Sat with it.

I have one of each. I d say two 650's beat a 1050 hands down. Unless you really need to swage Military primer pockets on your press.

jmorris did it again. It was about time somebody managed to do that here in the US, the Italians posted videos of PLC and computer run Dillons on youtube years ago.
I have a 650 and a 1050 and...

All Lee expanders are poorly polished compared to other brands so they work your brass like a file.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
There shouldn't be any problems with the 650 if the press is kept clean and the priming wheel advancer or anything else hasn't been bent.

Now if we could only mount an audible alarm when a preset number is reached that'd be great. I could use it on my Dillon too.

I own Lee products too, a limited amount. That's because I don't have the time and patience to put up with them. I may also fall in the younger side of casters, the ones that just started families...

Still, Lee is a Chinese quality American manufacturer.
Forum: Cast Boolits
You guys are probably right. The problem was exacerbated by a tiny amount of WD 40 in the mold cavity. This was causing wrinkled boolits. So I ignored the frosting at first till I discovered the...

I changed alloys again and I am getting bullets that look dull and a bit like they were sprinkled with flour. I tried lowering the temp and it didn't solve it. Is the lead dirty? I did flux it twice.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I've been experimenting with different alloys lately and I've noticed how differently they behave based on the composition. Can anyone enlighten me how Tin and Antimony affect the alloy melting point...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Magma was right. They said the lead was too hot and it was being sucked out of the base. I called them today and they said to lower the temp on the alloy. I did down to about 635 on the PID. And...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I called Magma today. They said to try lowering the alloy temperature(set at 690 right now). So I'll try that first, then I'll try getting the mold hotter.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I will try with a hotter sprue plate. The thing is that with the old alloy there were no problems. I kept things the same including temp. I have a laser thermometer that I use. I keep it at the same...

I tried a longer pour with a bigger puddle and it didn't help.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Casting with my Master caster and Magma molds today and I had this happen a lot. The only thing I changed from what I normally do was the alloy, trying a new harder mix of two parts isotope and one...

Oh no, he did it... good luck reloading progressively.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
palmenti, that's a good set up. But I am to lazy to handle every bullet like that. I trie d coating them and hand tumbling in a box but they still stick to each other.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
The bullets that Ares and other companies sale are fully coated, including the base.
