Emeril says "pork fat rules"

I had problems with a sprue plate on an RCBS mold. Called customer service and had a new plate in 4 days. NO charge.

The Lee 309-130 mold has been a good one in my.30 M1 Carbine barreled Contender. It cast about 136 gr. and with GC and lube run 140 gr. That all changed when I got a new 30-140 FN GC mold from LBT....

I have a .30 Carbine barrel for my Contender. With the .30"soupcan" LLA will do as good as anything. When I go to my 300 whisper barrel,Felix lube seems to get the nod with the soupcan. With...
