Guys, got a direct link to this stuff?

Finding sub components for LEE presses is time consuming and I am never sure I have located the specific bits you are talking about.

Here is my figuring on the choice of PC or greased lead.

If I were starting over, I'd be PC all the way. There are advantages to PC apart from just cleanliness, but that single point is an...

As I finish out processing the last few of my pre-assembled rounds, I have begun to wonder what to call them.

I bought a 500 box of 147 grain bullets from Rose Distributors and then a larger...

The six petal HST opens explosively at rifle velocities with the shank stub portion continuing on through my 3 deep milk jugs. There simply isn't much left of the unfolded twisted busted up first...

Now, for a close up of the bullet holders.

The bullet holders are important as they grip the assembled round while it is getting cut in the required pattern while keeping the cutter away...

Now, let's revisit my HST cut bullets and I will give you my results and show you my rig.

Well, two of us have done it and we both say it does not have enough gas volume/pressure to run the AR's action.

It does not shoot near to point of aim --- why should it as it is 3-4 times as...

GaryM,

About 3-5 of our oldtimer experimenters recorded our work on the 350 Legend back when it was brand new in a separate thread, so this particular thread makes a good read and a possible way...

What sort of gun are you shooting it with?

Factoid

...... you can duplex the shot or balls in your load;

...... you can also put more than one powder inside your case for the other kind of duplex load.

Your question isn't clear as...

Bass, I shoot what works in the round and gun in question. In this case it is a 350 Legend in an AR platform that I learned isn't particularly cast bullet friendly.

Had an issue with 350 Legend...

Hey Bass, long time no see. It has been a long long time since we cranked up the last two iterations of this Shooters cast boolits list, ain't it?

Looks like I have gained the attention of a...

All I have is some relatively simplistic logical thinking, comparing what does not open up and work at all (3 petals), what works too well (6 petals), and then looking at examples from many different...

My alloy is wheel weight plus some 25% plain plumbers lead.

I no longer water drop since I powder coat everything. Many of my slugs are recycled slugs from things that I no longer shoot, so my...

Here is the link to the precursor thread that you have to read for this one to make sense

OK, I have fiddled some more with the idea by powering the blade with a 2 amp Warrior oscillating cutter from Harbor Freight. Driving the little saw blade with a power tool actually works too well...

Punch Federal HST into your browser and look at the expansion pictures. The expansion form looks like this for moderate 1,000 to 1,200 fps speeds, but the results get all buggered up on the petals...

The bullets in question have a six slot skive pattern left over from the original Zero bullet processing, so it is easy to keep the razor saw cut pattern on center. Note that the original Zero...

Also note you can easily put these same cuts into a cast lead bullet, with powder coat or greased formats working equally well.

Out of a rifle you will tend to lose the plain "as cast and cut"...

Yes, indeed there are .005" thick very very thin saw blades available now-a-days.

Yes, a single flute or scoop would make for an unbalanced bullet. However, it takes ~25 yards~ for the yaw effect to show itself as major dispersion effect, so any strike at a distance shorter than...

Why 40 cal? This idea operates off of bullet speed. 40 cal has the needed speed, with 10mm ramping up the effects accordingly.

A larger size helps make developing a new idea easier ........

Logically, a single flute (relatively large) fluted nose system could be operated by simply opening and closing the mold.

Resulting water dropped (relatively hard tough WW slugs) could be powder...

I guess I need to make me a prediction on this new bullet ...... it will only work on cartridges with very very short throats and only when the bullet long ogive unsupported nose is loaded to...

There is a substantial learning curve on lubricized lead bullets.

You will wind up lapping your molds to get them large enough and round to fit your throats/chambers (whichever). You will do...
