I have issues with leading in a compensator when using my Hitek-coated bullets. I normally use 2 coats, but I have tried 3 coats and still get some leading. No leading in the barrel, just in the...

The Lee APP is a good sizing machine they will not break the bank.

The sprue plate and the mounting blocks. But the issue is with the mounting blocks attach to the molds. The magma mold uses two bolts to firmly attach the mounting blocks while the balli uses a...

The only dies I have ever gotten from Chris are the short ones. I don’t want the next bullet to push out the previous one because it puts a small dimple on the round nose bullets.

I have several of Chris’s dies. The 9mm one probably has sized somewhere around 900,000 bullets. Bullets still come out at the proper size.

The Lee APP works with the NOE bushings but only for sizing and not lubing the bullets.

That is excellent news...God answers prayer. I had both of my hips replaced five years ago, and it is hard to explain the difference it made in my life.

We had a 45/200 swc go through a .430 sizing die for 44’s. The sizing machine didn’t like it, but by the time I got to it the bullet was already through the die. It smoothed out the sides and made it...

Double cavity molds. Ended up slowing down the sizing machine and adapting the drop tube section to handle the longer bullets. The plunger has to hit the bullets almost exactly when the bullet is...

I cast a 215 grain 300 blackout using the magma bullet masters. We had more problems getting the sizing machine setup so the bullet would not get bent than we did with the actual casting.

I have this mold but had Tom build it so that it drops at .311. Been sizing them down to .310 and .309.

Accurate molds is another place to get blanks. I don’t think aluminum would hold up very good on a master caster.
One other thing is that I have never seen a 3 hole lead pour plate for the master...

I enjoy casting better than reloading. I own a commercial casting business but I really enjoy breaking out my 5 hole molds and making my own bullets.

That is from a magma mold and you will probably need to start seating it at 1.10 and plunk test it. But more than likely you will need to go a little shorter and if you do then you will need to drop...
Forum: Cast Boolits
If they are 124 grain no groove round nose coated that most of the commercial guys sell you will need to seat them at 1.10 or so. Make sure you do a plunk test before you make too many.
