Kathie,
I think you missed my PM since I haven't heard from you. I need 2 boxes of range lead. Do you have stock? Thanks.
I've been shooting the Lee 175 TC (it drops at 178 with my alloy) over 7.1 gr. of HS-6 out of a 5" 1911. It's moving in the 1025 fps range.

If you are only going to cast HG 68 clones the Star will be half the work once it is set up. All other lubesizers take more steps to size and lube a boolet. With the star you put it in, nose down,...
Actually, it drops at 170 gr. lubed and sized (.452) with my alloy. I've also loaded 8.7 gr HS-6 which feels a little hotter than the AA-5 I sometime use, but haven't cronoed it, and 4.2 gr Clays...
In a word--yes. Depending on your alloy you can get a pretty wide variation in weights. Also, for the price of a Lyman 4 banger (which you want to consider for a pistol) you might want to look at...

As a retired firefighter I can only add two things. 1. How many road signs have you seen shot up? 2. Murphy was an optimist.
Forum: Cast Boolits
In a word, yes. It seems most reloading dies are set to open the case mouth for a J-word bullet. Those are normally sized at .400 while our cast boolets are sized to .401 or larger, so it would...

Try mothballs or better yet moth flakes, if you can stand the smell close to the house they kept possums out from under my deck.

I stopped in to Gander Mountain (can I post the name?) in N Houston and found tons of shotgun ammo as well as some decent prices of range 9 mm, .38/357, and .40 S&W, but the only 10 mm was priced at...

Can you PM me his contact info. Is the club PSC or the other one? Thanks.

I shoot an STI Trojan (about half the price of an Edge which is a double stack) and find it handles the 175 gr. cast Lee well. I had some problems getting the OAL right as the STI guns seem to have...

Go here: http://www.lasc.us/ read the Glenn Frexel manuscript found there then after you digest that you should be ready to cast.

Yeah, the UAW really designed some crappy cars, remember the ones you had to pull the engine in order to change a spark plug, and those rusting out rear windows the union workers designed. They...

Harbor Freight has a router controler that works well.

Another thing, and I'm sure someone with more experence will chime in, is that it takes two or three casting sessions for my molds to start to produce really good boolets. First session I have maybe...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I'm not an expert, but IMHO I think it would depend on the size pot you are using. At some point a large pot would give up too much heat to be considered. I would guesstimate that 20 or so lbs....

Has anyone checked primers on gunbroker, that's truly amazing. If all those primers were in someone's warehouse ready for sale, there wouldn't be a shortage and the prices would be reasonable IMHO.

I think you might want to read up on cast boolits in a Glock. There are as many opinions as Glock shooters, I think, but it is something you should research before you make a decision. Welcome to...
All I can offer is to take two asperin and get out your check book in the morning.
