Does anyone have a drawing of the Lee C309-170-F?

I want to have a custom mold made that is .311" diameter and plain-base.

I tried a Lee .54 380gr. REAL mold. The bullet in shot cup was a very snug fit through a modified choke.

But accuracy was terrible. At 30 yards, 9-inch group with most of them keyholing.

I’ve adjusted crimp and seating depth, seated without crimping then running through .380 and .357 Magnum sizers with decaper removed. The best I’ve gotten was seating and crimping at .910” OAL, with...

I special ordered a .313 sizer from Lee around 3 or 4 years ago. It actually sizes .3135. Wasn’t enough smaller than my .314 sized to work for my application.

Any suggestions for a .358 180-190 grain plain-base flat-nose mold that feeds well through Marlin lever-actions?

Around .25” meplat?

One more try...

Does anyone have drawings of the .456” bullets that Kaido used to offer for the Ruger Old Army? I believe they were 200, 220, 240, and 255 gr.

I’m pretty sure the answer is no. However several custom barrel makers sell pre-fit barrels for the Ruger American.

My Ruger Flattop is accurate with 9mm FMJ. I haven't shot lead 9mm through it yet.

My .357 cylinder has .358" throats and shoots great with lead. The 9mm is @ .355". Has anybody opened a 9mm...

Out of three 452's and 1 455, I can't tell any difference in accuracy. The fit and finish of my 455 Lux is just a little better than any of my 452's.

Thanks. Just placed my order.

Thank you. We just took a bee keeping class from our local association, and are planning to get our first bees next year.

This system sounds like it will be a big step forward in pest control.

Both, but mostly pistol.

I've only been casting a Lil over a year and a half. I read a lot on this forum before I got started and learned a lot from it. Here's a few little things I learned or found to be helpful after...

I want to install a rugged front sight on a Ruger American Predator, which has a 5/8"-24 threaded muzzle.

This is the front sight of a Tikka T3x Arctic, which looks to be what I want.

It's a Howa 1500 heavy barrel with collapsible stock. I don't know the model name.

A buddie's daughter didn't care for the recoil of his Howa .308 with factory ammo. She didn't mind my cast/powder coat load, 26.5gr. H4895, at around 1700fps.

Hunting in Cleburne county, she shot...

I submitted a drawing to Jared for a powder-coat .358 mold and here's what I got. Accuracy is the same as a similar style with lube grooves. It does drop easier than any of my lube groove molds,...

.50 cents for wheelweights and .75 for scrap lead is my cutoff. Higher than that and it's more cost effective to buy clean ingots that people sell on here for a Lil over a dollar a pound shipped.

But will that end up with an accurate, stable bullet...

I want a .358" 158gr. RN-FP flat base, with @ 0.25 meplat and no lube grooves.

Anyone have experience with the Accurate 36-158CZ? Any other suggestions?

If I design my own, what is an optimal...
