Again, thank you all for the info, it's been very enlightening and interesting. Id have to agree with geezer, the corrosive bit has never really bothered me as I clean everything I own religiously...

Wow, thank you all for the information. I wish I would have done a little more researching before I bought the stuff I did, I just had the same mindset Ken mentioned, if its 50-60s surplus in enbloc...

Hello all. I picked up my first M1 garand today and could not be more excited to shoot it! I bought some ammo as well and wanted to run it by some more experienced M1 owners and see if any of you...

Personal experience with PC boolits in Glock 22 .40sw and Glock 20 10mm auto have been great! I've used several different brands of PC with a 175g Lee boolit sized .401 and all have performed just...

Very interesting. Hogdon shows 10g Trailboss under 150g should make 1176fps in 24" barrel, sounds like it would definitely be a fun one just to poof around with! May I ask what boolit and PC you're...

Alright so I finally got to try out the load i'd made up. I decided on 30g IMR 4064 seated to 2.600", Win LR primers in RP brass. This group is pretty awful. This was fired at 100yards from a Stevens...

Thank you guys for the responses, they are very enlightening. Runfiverun I'm assuming you meant start at 29g of 4064, I think I will give that one a try since I have the 4064 in the hopper already....

I am doing some experimenting loading for a .308win, Its a cheapo stevens model 200. The cast boolit Im wanting to try is the Lee 312-155-2r, ESPC sized .311 with a hornady gas check. I've made up an...

I have loaded this boolit, powdercoated with a hornady gas check sized .311 supersonic using lil' gun and it shoots well in 10.5" AR. Assuming you are loading for an AR, I've found that this boolit...

Some Lee 429-240 round nosers that cast about 260g with range lead. Super durable wet black from powder by the pound in some new brass, along side my newly acquired SW629 Classic 8-3/8" :bigsmyl2:

Thanks guys for the info, much appreciated. I kind of figured it wasn't originally a 30-06 but didn't really look into it because he claims it shoots very well for him. Everyone has their own opinion...

I have some 30-06 brass that I received to reload for a friend and after trying sizing using 2 different sizing dies it is leaving a slight 'ridge' or 'bulge' near the web. There are 3 different head...

Thanks! Sounds like that'll work pretty well for you, the easier the better!!

I just wanted to share how I go about this process. There are many reasons one might want to de-lube otherwise perfectly shootable boolits but the reason I did in this example was because all three...

rsrocket1, it's been a while since I cast with it but If I remember they DO drop right at .356. I looked into the 'beagle' method (i'm pretty new to casting, i'd never heard of it) and it looks like...

This thread got me thinking . . . . How well do you think it would work taking the a LEE 125g 2r 9mm boolit and, powder coat it fairly heavily, size .358 or .359 instead of my regular .356, and shoot...

Ah hah! I knew there had to be a jig like this somewhere burried in the coatings and alternatives forum! Thanks for the link, if I ever get into casting HP's the nail/rivet set up looks like a dandy...

I know alot of you that coat rifle boolits use some sort of washers, jigs, etc. to hold them either nose up or nose down while spraying/baking so I thought i'd share some pics from my experiment last...

Wow, thank you all for replying and for the insight, i'm glad that for the most part it seems this is common. I apologize for the delay in response, busy weekend. JWT, you are probably right, the...

I see, thanks for the insight! The bulge/ridge is occuring on the entire circumfrence of the case so i'm going to assume they are seating squarely. Forgive me if this is dumb question but what do you...

Thanks for the quick responses gentlemen, I'm glad this is a common thing and others have experienced this. I'm planning on trying them out tonight or sometime tomorrow, i'll let you all know how it...

Hello all, I'm going to put it out front, I'm pretty green to reloading and casting. So far have only cast/loaded about 1600rnds combined of .40sw 9mm 10mm using Lee Dies and molds, and the Rock...

I tried to get the best pics I could, trying to show the ridges (and lack of) using a flashlight. These were fired at yards into a 3ft long 1ft wide 1ft deep box of a mix of dirt and clay with a few...
