Good stuff ... I just tried heat treating for the first time, half soft half lino, 45mins at 425 then ice water. Seemed to make a much harder bullet but I don't have a tester. Is there a reason why...
Smoke ... Good to know ... I'll skip on that mold.
I also agree with a 30 cal suppressor and 300 blkout subs for hogs but there is a 100 gr mold from NOE that would also work for 223 subs. From my tests 223 subs (62gr with hp38) are much quieter...

NOE has a nose sizer but that's allot of work if you are shooting alot through a semi. I'd try a different PC first.

I agree with using 1680 or cfe blk... If you are not running a suppressor subs are still pretty dang loud. So I'm not sure it's worth the hassel. There are also "flaming pig" type muzzle devices...

For cycling your round in the house, I'd just take out the firing pin. You could still get a slam fire if your primers are not fully seated but highly unlikely.

I also size to 309 and run 15 grs of h110 can't remember oal but pretty far from mag length 1.975 in? I'm not near my bench ATM.

30M1 exp plug sku SE2291 ... But I would recommend the NOE expander plugs ... I have both the lee and noe. The noe is by far better but $15 vs $5. Make sure to get the correct size noe plug if you...

You may need to flare your brass... I use the lee insert for a 30 carbine in a lee universal expander. Helps reduce shaving the lead while seating. I also have that noe mold ... Mine is the htc...
Well I picked up the covenant 6-24 ffp on blackfriday. Will have to exchange it already. It's a little fuzzy at 24x and the eye box is small as expected from the price tag but the real issue is the...
I'm thinking about taking the same risk ... The 6-24 FFP covenant for $230 is too good to pass up.

Brownells has $5 off $25 and free shipping today. Picked up a 223 and 300 blackout Lee FCD for $21.

I like my RRA varmint 2 stage trigger ... If you are looking for a decent trigger under 100 ... It works well.

Try pressure filling the mold ... I had the same problem... I keep my pot around 750 (PID controlled) ... Warm the mold on a hot plate and hold the mold against the bottom pour spout. As you release...

I'm shooting the noe 62gr fn with GC powder coated (HF sprayed) out of a 1:9 16" dpms ...I loaded 19 - 23gr H335... Got the best groups around 2inches at 21 gr which ended up being around 2350 fps. ...

Hey I've been curling for a few years now ... Definitely a good way to get some exercise and drink some beer at the same time.
Dang... I guess the iPhone users have it good ... Android just has a long list of 'saved groups'
What do you mean by bullet profile? For my android app you just hold down on a saved group and a menu pops up on top with a trash can symbol. Not sure about the iPhone app though.

No problem Thor. It makes a huge difference with my lee pot and is definitely worth the time.

Forgot to mention that I am using the REXC-100 off fleabay ($15) ... and it works pretty dang well. But have only had it for a month so we will see ... Also directions that come with mine, at least,...

Thor ... The (+) and (-) sides (spot 3 and 4) are what hook up to the PID ... the PID should have a + and - connector labeled SSR. + to + and - to - and the pid tells the relay to switch on or off...

Wow thanks for all the comments ... I definitely have a few things to think about! Yondering it could be (probably is) out of round ... Let's just say I have an end mill 5/16 (.3125) and something...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Might be the issue ... Forgot to mention the smooth one is 240gr while the grooved is 230gr. Thanks
And might try 10gr of h110 ... Didn't have pressure signs so should be OK ... Don't have a...
