    I know it's a Lee for .357s @ 150/158 gr bullets. I tossed the box ages ago. Sorry I can't find more details about it.

    I cast these for cowboy action shooting in my 357's. They are sized then tumbled with hexagonal Boron Nitride.

    Thanks sniper! I'll give a little heavier load a try. When it warms up a bit, I'll take the chrono out to the range and see what they do.

    I've tried moly twice: First time it was a waxy stick that went into the lubrisizer and resided in the bullets lube grooves. It was messy and I read that it is quite toxic. (Wash you hands often.) It...

    I've had the same question in my head. Ive only shot the Glock19 once. Being a 1911 guy, the Glock felt awkward in my hand... it didn't want to point where it should. That's just me, I'm sure. "Old...

    I've had some occasional feed problems with bullets cast for a 1911/.45ACP using a Lee Mold, which the instructions claimed, "did not require sizing." This was bull. I'm of the opinion that the...

    I'm afraid you lost me making the distinction between "powder near bullet" vs "powder near primer." I can't see how to force either situation in a cartridge case.
