Has anyone tried using the FTX Hornady bullet crimped to the top of the cannular and cut off the red tip to the top oF the brass making the OAL 2.580?

Cats are absoltely no good for fluxing! Noisy too!

Kidding aside I too will be trying sawdust and let's say an oak stir sticl. Should work right?:cbpour:

I have done all three, called, emailed, emailed to specified address for refund and none have them has been answered. That is darn right rude and crude.

Hi Group,
I sent a snail mail to Joe and have not received a response as of 4/29/10. I am starting to get worried. I have a chunk of change invested.


I, along with a great number of members...

This sounds good to me. The more cavities the better 4-6. Most likely will commit when I see the specs and price.

I just ordered 2 of the 9mm 147gr RNFPBB in .357
Gene

I am in for 2 of the 9mm. This design feeds well in semi-autos. Miha did a splendid job on the machining on his molds I am casting now. Make mine in .359.

I shoot a .40 S&W 180 grain bullet in...

Sure looks good to me. Count me in. Anxious to hear final price and delivery time.

I received 2 Mihec H&G 68 molds yesterday and cleaned them up with degreaser and a wood dowel to remove any burrs. I cast them today and was very pleased with the results. I have an original H&G 68...

I too would be interested; if Lee would gaurantee to make the molds to the drawing and nothing else. The shorter nose and the wider driving bands are the key to the accuracy and the flat base...

Ok, don't hold back now; what were the particulars of your load? Lube, size diameter, which powder and how much, OAL, and crimp. Not that I would want to shoot a group like yours (like heck I...

QUOTE=NuJudge;454800]It's too cold for me to cast here, but I'd love to hear results from my southern friends.

Hi Chris
I am in for 20 of the 30 round mags @10.50 each for a total of 210.00 and 10.35 shipping and 2.60 for insurance. .Thanks.
Gene :-D

Patrick, Those are some good looking 45 boolits. I see my two designs there; whose boolit is the third there? (Looks a lot like the Lyman 195gr short SWC.)

Looks like an H&G 130 .45 SWC.

Gene,...

I had intended to post some pictures, but at the end of the shooting session a fellow shooter asked me to look at his Baretta M9 as it was not feeding the last round and I got distracted. The RO's...

I shot 100 2nd mold group H&G 68 200 grain Lee copy boolits indoors at 50 feet. Actually 193 grain boolit, sized to .452 and lubed with my own version of the perfect bullet lube sitting on top of 3.6...

I cast, (dropped out at 193 gr.) lubed and sized (.452) 200 boolits and loaded them up (3.6 gr. Clays) for the short line (25yds) and will fire them off of a rest at 50ft.. I use the same load for...

Did you mean 226 grains?

Gene

There is a Santa,
My 2 molds arrived today in a well packed box. I dropped 6 actual boolits from a true H & G 68 FB mold into the new molds that Lee sent and was shocked and elated that they fit...

Lee has had my molds since 11/7; 12/15 and still waiting. Has anyone spoke to Pat at LEE Precision lately? I am not complaining, but it seems that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Gene

Thanks MakeMineA10mm,
I received the .45 230 grain 2r government molds today. I cast about 100 pieces and took out 5 at random to check. Average diameter of the base is 453.3, average weight is...

Hi Calvin,
I am shooting a 5" Springfield 1911. They told me the barrel in my gun is 1 rev. in 10". This is the second time I have heard 4.5 Unique as a load. I may load some of those up too. Thanks...

Yes it is, I have the Lee round nose 230 grain .45 mold. The bullets have a one radius nose and have to be set too deep into the case in order to feed in the
1911. This government profile has a 2...

It's good to hear that Lee is getting the molds back to us. I haven't got mine yet, but I anticipate it will be soon. The top band being .454 is good news. I hope it flies straight and cuts clean...

Hi Mike,
What was your powder & load & OAL to gain that near 1000 fps? My initial try was with 2.9 grains of Unique the results were not worth elaborating on. I am going to bump it up to 3.2 gr. and...
