7mm BR is my guess. There's a handgun in that caliber.

The 50/50 I layed out on the bench turned into a puddle.
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I've had 5 mixed samples of white label lube and 1 older one from Lyman sitting in the sun on my reloading bench. I'm looking for a lube that can hold up to the summer heat in central WA. I'm glad...
I think you will have a "space" issue and need to push the wad a bit deeper.

I believe I made some just by running them thru my .375 Win depriming die. Not sure if I had a tapered expander ball in the die.

Do you have an "M" die to bell the case mouth? I didn't see any info on this.
Forum: Cast Boolits
As others stated above, an M die is needed to flare the case mouth for your cast. Good luck with your progression/obsession, whatever shooting cast bullets is called.

I ordered a barrel for my Glock from Lone Wolf. Per Mapquest they are 162 road miles from me. The barrel went from them down thru Oregon to Portland, then back to Spokane, on to Wenatchee and...

I must be at Defcon 6 as I have friends going thru my powders. Must be Defcon 6 for components but I need to assemble them into ammo. Waterfowl shotgun ammo I think I have enough for the next 6...

I had a number shoot good groups. The 31141 was the tightest, the RCBS 180 FN was real close and then next was the RCBS 180 SP and the NEI 311 190. I set records shooting all of them. I switched...

Maven, if you're still waffling after 2 years on buying Titegroup (noticed this was an old post) here's a Hodgdon's website I use and it has a titegroup load for the .44 Mag. It is a bit steeper...

Rex, I mis-spoke earlier when I said I was getting a bigger bullet. Had a casting session this morning and while letting the sprue harden and the mould to cool down a bit, I measured a cast bullet...

I get better pressure filling with a ladle than from a bottom pour. Lead comes out faster from a ladle and the weight of the lead in the ladle also pushes down on the "fill". When the bottom pour...
Forum: Cast Boolits
how big of a bullet do you need? I'm getting around .360 from my mould.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I use the 6 cavity Lee aluminum moulds and they heat up fast. I'd guess 5 throws with the lead left to sit a bit longer than normal (to transfer heat to the mould) and you will have be at the "good...

I use a Rowell ladle and work from back to forward so I can watch the pour.

I bought a 100 pack of Hornady .375 round balls for about 7 bucks. Now I know they won't slug your bigger barrel but Hornady makes larger balls. I found them at a local sporting goods store in the...

Had a chance this morning to blow the gun out with my air compressor. I cleaned it good after returning from the range. Stuck some ammo in and the cylinder still dragged. Decided to see what would...

I like the idea of 1.0 grain of bullseye and a round ball.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I don't think either of my two Speer manuals have that data. Could you take a picture and PM me with that? I will check my books again to see if I forgot what's there.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Bought some Hornaday .375 muzzle loader balls today and poked them thru a .358 sizing die. They fit nice in a belled .38 Special case. I'm thinking about 1.0 grain of powder of some sort.
Anyone...
