Hi there,

Sounds good on the GC bullets, makes sense! What are your recommendations for GC rounds? Mold, powders etc.?

Haven't bought any of the bullets yet, just digging around to see what...

Afternoon everyone,

No particular reason, just general curiosity more than anything honestly. :) I've got a .44 Mag and a .45 Colt, was just curious to see if there were/are any "thumper" loads...

Morning again guys,

Anyone have any cast pet load data for the .30 carbine they'd be willing to share?

Due to the scarcity (ie expense) of shooting jacketed, I'm looking to try some...

Morning all,

I've heard rumblings of some heavy loads for .45 auto, reportedly there was some writings doe this done back in the 80s?

Anyone have any data like this they'd be willing to share?...

I'd say for rifles, 30-06 no question. Pistols, definitely .38/357, a winning combo with virtually unmatched versatility.

Sounds good! I'll definitely bookmark that page here, would definitely like to load up some "service" rounds for the '06 and .308 also, great calibers for sure.

Appreciate the help guys!

Sounds good on the above-referenced sources, I think a fellow caster had a copy of the 4th generation Lyman book I can borrow to look through.

Thanks very much!
Tom

Afternoon all,

I'm looking to get into casting for rifles, and will be using the venerable '06 as my guinea pig. Recently came into a couple RCBS molds, so I think we're well on the way.

Would...

Morning gents,

I recently inherited a couple lbs of some old Win 630 powder from a fellow reloader, and was looking for some input. It's my understanding this powder hasn't been made for a while...

Hi there fellows,

Just thought I'd toss this out and ask, is Ballist-cast, the company that bought H&G, have they too gone the way of the dodo? I've seen a few things online, and some photos of...

They've got fantastic service for sure, I've had them replace some damaged/lost parts without any issues, and even a damaged carbide sizer die as referenced above. . .best customer service team...

Thanks for the feedback here fellas, does anyone know the title of the referenced book written by the late Alton Dinan, or have a copy of the article they could scan/send to me? I'd like to read that...

I like that Redding die, might grab one of those here, will add that to the "list" here..

I've had excellent luck with my RCBS taper die set, so far they've never let me down...good to know that...

Makes sense, I'll try to track down one of those roll crimp dies for my 1917, normal 1911 works just fine with the taper crimp!

Thanks guys!

Sounds good, looks like I'll have to keep an eye out for the RCBS roll crimp die then, is that an older one by any chance?

Good deal on the LEE die sets, that's good to know.

Many thanks!

Morning all,

Had a question that was posed the other day at the range...did they ever make a roll crimp die for .45 auto/auto rim? If such a critter was made, how hard are they to find these days?...

Hey there gents,

WOW! Thanks very much for all the information, and the photos also. I'll make a few notes about some of these mold numbers, and will start keeping an eye out for them.

Really...

Hey there everyone,

Very good on all counts, so they definitely do exist!!!

I'll take a look at the NOE offerings, I've heard excellent things about the molds they sell, could be fun to work...

Morning gents,

Just curious, do you any you happen to know, was there ever a full wadcutter made for the. 44 and .45 cal revolvers?

If so, does anyone have any mold numbers for them?

I'm...

Checked my local Sportsman's, and they have a LOT of it. Sadly the prices are rather astronomical, hence the full shelves...couldn't get over the asking prices for 22LR and 22 Mag

Hi there,

Many thanks for the information and the paperwork! After looking it over, hardwiring in a cord looks like it would be a good way to go about it..

Appreciate all the help guys! :)
Tom

Ok, thanks for that! I'll definitely check the local Goodwill, they have a bunch of cords, might find the one I need! Thanks!!

I have not, did Redding purchase SAECO?

:cast_boolits: :lol:

Hi there! No worries at all, I knew what you were saying, appreciate the welcome! Glad to be here!

Morning all,

I was going through some of my late father's reloading stuff here the other day, and to my surprise, I found an old Saeco 24 furnace disassembled in its original albeit worn box.
