My mother had shingles in her 70s across her face and eye. I know it was very painful so my prayers to you on a speedy recovery. I am close to 60 myself so I really need to be addressing this as...

An extremely hard position to be in and my prayers go out to you and your family that it will work out for the best in the end. Have a great Christmas and New Years.
Guardian,
Thanks for the heads up on Midway's price. Looks like with shipping it would be only $ 180 to my location so better than Graf's. Any experience using this unit ?
I have been looking at getting an auto scale for some time. I received an email from Grafs.com this morning and they have the Hornady L-N-L Auto Charge powder dispenser for only $199 and the...

I purchased a Steyr M95 for my teenage son as a Christmas present. He saw it in a gun shop one day and fell in love with it. I was pointed to buffaloarms.com and Graffs.com as sites for 8x56r...

I think it makes a huge difference in how much you are resizing. My personal experience is that sizing 0.003 or 0.004 without a good lube is just asking for stuck boolits. The very first boolit I...

I am new to casting and reloading. I cast up about 300 boolits (158 gr with gas check) for 38 special using a brand new Lee 6 cavity C358-158-SWC mold. I water dropped them to get the hardness up...

Just like Homer, I am new to casting and had purchased a Lee 38 caliber 6 cavity mold from TitanReloading.com. I have cast approximately 400 boolits and then started to check them with digital...
Forum: Cast Boolits
In Gear's post it states to run at a rate of Four Pours per Minute. Does the number of cavities in the mold make a difference relative to the pour rate ? If someone were pouring a 2 cavity mold at...

OldFart,
The problem I had was I wasn't even able to cycle the handle completely down. It got stuck half way down on the first boolit. I took the die off and heated the stuck boolit out. Once I...

I cast my first 38 caliber boolits a couple of weeks ago and based on another threat I had started this week on the best way to lube, I was advised to use WD40 on the bullets rather than Alox, size...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
Thanks to all for your help. The 38 is indeed a 38 special. I am using a Lee C358-158-SWC (90327) mold for the 38 and a Lee C429-240-SWC (90483) for the 44. Both have 3 grooves and I was assuming...
