I'm having the same issue with H4198... hasn't been any around in ages.

Just threw about 300 of the Lyman 452630 200 gr.. Will prob load a few of each and see which works better.. Thanks for all the help!

And bonus.. I just found about 100 Missouri Bullet Co 250gr Cowboy #1s that I picked up at a yard sale a few years ago.. I was going to melt them down for the lead, but now I can use them ;)

The...

Just realized I also have a pound of 700x.. may try that. RCBS 3-die set inbound..

Do you roll crimp in a separate step with an special die, or just use the one in the seater and seat/crimp at same time?

I reload cast boolits for 9mm, 380 ACP, & 45 ACP already, so no stranger to the pain. I already have the Lee 6 cav TL452-230-2R and Lyman 452630 200gr so want to use one of those. I assume the...

Had some time to look around.. Thinking of either the RCBS 45-300-FN or the NOE HTC459-300-RF-CB5 4 Cavity with GC.. Tell me if I'm wrong, but I won't need a top punch if I'm using the Lee classic...

Mine's a Savage ML10-II.. So nothing over 300gr is 'recommended'. So looking for a .458" 300gr..

A lot of good info there, thank you! It looks like the Lee 300-rf is a .452".. I guess I could always buy new .452" sabots, but I pretty much bought a lifetime supply of .458" sabots last time I...

I've been using a smokeless muzzleloader with 300gr Speer bullets (.458) for years, but they are getting harder and harder to find. These bullets have been good out to 200yds before they drop below...

Buddy just came over and shot his muzzleloader.. He was using old Hornady 325 gr 45cal bullets (#6615).. solid lead with 4 lube bands. I thought we might be able to use my labradar to get velocity,...

Cool, got the 4-die Hornady set that includes the TC, so will go with that. Will be loading for bolt and AR, so will be interesting.

What's everyone using to crimp 350 Legend? Regular taper crimp, Lee FCD, other?

So try Blue Dot?

Ha.. I thought by Cabin Fever you meant you were shooting indoors.. I had fun earlier shooting ear plugs out of my 45ACP with nothing but a primed case. ;)

DANG IT! I thought that was my idea.. Was going to do that next, just haven't come by another tire big enough ;)

Here's mine.. I made 2 of them. One has about 3000 rounds shot at it, and the horse mat covering started to get eaten through, so I put a tire inside. Only used for pistol. Has a 12" AR500 steel...

This all begs another question.. Does powder coating a boolit slow the reduction in hardness over time? Since you're essentially vacuum sealing it...

Awesome, just what I wanted to know!

Powder coating at 400F for 20 mins, 124gr 9mm boolits, lead is mostly COWW. All other factors being equal, how much does water quenching after casting increase hardness as compared to quenching...

Your target says PC+45/45/10?

Well I shot the 20, and the leading came back... I know I shouldn't change so many variables at once, but I decided to size the boolits, and then put a double PC on, then sized again.. loaded with...

Google it.. it's actually the opposite. Precision is how tight the group is, accuracy is if you are hitting the intended target.

yep, I have to look it up every time I think about it...

I'd like to see the results of that..

Also was wondering.. on the double coat.. what about sizing between coats? Just get flow, let cool, size, recoat? (I see someone asked this above, but no...
