What is a concern is the rough build up looking more like torn or galled metal or the filling of the rifling grooves. Little greyish silver streeking or thin lines I don't worry. Some barrels just...
Forum: Cast Boolits
The term slight leading can be vague. A cast load that is considered to not lead will still leave evidence that lead went down the barrel. To me the main factor is no build up developed, the ammount...

My first gun that was all mine was a T/C Contender Super 14" in 41mag. I was one prowd 13 year old. My shooting mentor brought his S&W M58 41 mag to the range one day and that's all it took. A very...
90% of my 38spl get DEWC and my 44mag get SWC I also use a lot of RNFP in 45ACP. All with excellent accuracy and reliability. Only way I could see a downfall with these is at long distance. I don't...

I have had lube fling on my Chrono also dump powder granules out of it. I have also reloaded aluminum cases only light loads though. But I do save the aluminum just in case, what can I say I'm a...

Definitely a #1 find, I love my early frame. Awesome trigger I realize its a little harder to open but don't really notice it

I have noticed that too. I keep a good bit of it on hand after all its the powder that goes both ways.

I use 2 x 6 rough cut oak or poplar, and I don't bolt them down they are held by a piece of angle iron bolted down at each end. As far as treating boils linseed oil is great because its not slippery...
Very normal looking to me, specially shooting cast. I load a lot of 44mag from the target load of 5.5gr unique under a 240 gr LSWC to 25gr H110 under a 250gr Keith bullet. Shoot 100 rounds of 44 mag...
Case length is most important to sort by to keep consistant crimp on case. I load all 9mm cases they are tough and last almost forever. If you are wanting to load 9mm you need to have access to...

I had a difficult one once, don't know if it was overtightened or a burr on the collet nut but it cut into the threads when backing out. I clamped it in vice across the flats and used a large ratchet...
PB234 is telling like it is. I make all my 9x18 brass from 9x19 luger works very well and easy. I don't own a cz 82 but have several chambered in 9x18. I tested a 380 round in the chamber and it...

I have been having no trouble putting on many coats with my lanolin/alcohol mix. Tried up to three coats !nd sized between each. Could not tell difference seems one good coat is enough. I have not...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I use it in several pistol and rifle calibers and give it a pretty high rating. Last brass I purchased was for 30 luger and have already loaded then about 6 times no failure. Only bought 100 didn't...

Just a mention about the lube messing up the coat. I tried to clean some other bullets that had been lubed and used the lanolin to adhere the PC and the coat didn't stick well but bullets as cast...

My next bullet will be for 9mm and the main subject will be my Kahr K9 as it is picky on cast because of the polygonal rifling. One of my 30-30 tests will be with a marlin microgroove barrel which...

Giving a little epdate with the 30 Herrett. I worked upto 21.5 gr 2400 behind this 135 gr bullet, actually I believe it is the Lyman #311410. I started to get sticky cases at 21.5 gr but this load...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
No the bullet when lubed was not accurate plus I had leading issues with it, the reason I chose it for the PC experiment. When pc the accuracy is great, my earlier post was shot at 40 yds out of a...

Popper,
This same bullet lubed did not fair well accuracy wise but I can say the PC bullet gained 2 to 3% more velocity over lubed. I scratched my head at first but then thought the PC must have...

Figured I would throw in my update, not much but progress. First with my use of adhesive and the mention of liquid lanolin for this use. I tried my 10:1 mix alcohol and lanolin I use as case lube on...

I have this happen too. Some worse than others, my 357 Herrett is one of the worst. Always 60 to 80 fps faster on first shot, can even feel recoil difference.
