Maven, I am sizing in a star sizer (no top punch). I see what your saying about the nose being somewhat flattened, but that is how all of the boolits have been dropping from the mold. The slug used...

After loading up my test batch of ten last night I found the Lee C309-180R boolits contact the lands in my Kimber. I have gone from 2.8 OAL to 2.4 OAL just to get my bolt to close. I did slug my...

Chris, I recieved the dies in the mail last week; they were beautiful and worked perfectly. I will be using you for all of my future star sizer needs.
Thanks a bunch.

Wow, wish I could find the same deal. Finding these to run around $150+. Im too cheap! Going to swag the throats and barells. Looking to buy a micrometer to get better measurements than my...
I can appreciate your analogy! I was a long way from buying a set of .425 dies. Due to lack of tools I wanted to verify that the measurements I was getting were far from correct. Where do you...
Hey guys, quick question for you all.
I have a pair of S&W model 629's in 44 Mag that I have yet to cast a boolit for. I am in on the group buy for the MiHec brass H&G #503 .44 Caliber Keith. ...

I use a vibrating brass cleaner with walnut media. Added Flitz Brass Case Polish to the media and it cut my time to about a fourth of what I used to do. A little spendy at $9 for a bottle but it...
Forum: Casting Equipment
I run a Lee while casting boolits, but use an old Dutch Oven and turkey burner to alloy and melt down bulk lead to pour into ingots. For the money you cant go wrong. my 2 cents
