I use the Lee 175 TC bullet, not the TL and cast it from 50/50 lino and range scrap alloy. It makes 14.8-15 on the brinnell scale. 4.3 of 231 in Federal cases/primers, no lead, good accuracy. These...

I recently bought a Lee 6 banger 120 TC 9mm mold, (not the TL) for production. I shoot IDPA and the 2 cavity Lyman, 356402, although extremely accurate is a bit slow for maximum production. The Lee...
I use a 358430, Lyman 195 grn RN bullet, with 8.5 grns of 2400 in Plus P .38winchester cases and it clocks 845 fps from my Dan Wesson, 4 inch model 715.
This is a great self defense load. Start at...
Crash: You are right about that Pelvic bone. A 200 grain round nose at 750-850 fps will smash the hell out of bone, period. Then, the secondary projectile (bone parts) does a wicked job on the...
The Lyman 358430 200 grn. bullet loaded with 2400 in .38 cases does an honest 830 fps

If you don't have a Lyman lead thermometer, get one. Keep the temperature in the zone on the thermometer for the lead your using. I have the Lee pots, and sometimes they run away with the temps. ...

Another excellent Target load with the 200gr. SWC is 4.0 of Red Dot. Makes 735-750fps and is Deadly at 25 yards. You may have to change the recoils spring with the lighter loads to get the gun to...

I have to try and make that Wad pressure seating more understandable.
Each line on the tool, should indicate 10lbs EACH, probably up to 50-60lbs. This was necessary way back in the Old days, before...

Those tools are for Paper cases. The crimper will work well on paper cases, but you have to dig up some old reloading data for papers and some fiber and card filler wads. The Round Ball thingy is a...

Buck; Who has the Berdan Primers? I'm interested in buying the .217 size too.

Need an opinion on Hornady's Pro 7 press. I just bought one and it looks promising. Built like a Bulldozer.

I've used the Lee tumble lube wadcutters for years, both in practice and a few times in PPC competitive events. I seat them flush and load with 3.1 of Win. 231 and win.
