Thats what the older RCBS and lyman use part #80095, have some of those, the RCBS 2 seems to need a thicker o-ring

Thanks, but wanted a quicker solution....old ring is shot and cant be used to measure
Forum: Casting Equipment
Anyone know what size (at a hardware store) o-ring the RCBS lube-A-matic 2 takes? RCBS part #80051. Its different from the old RCBS lube-sizer (80095) and Lyman 450 they use a 1-1/16"x13/16"x1/8".

I mix 92/6/2 with pure lead all the time. Makes a nice all around alloy for handgun, I've also started using it in most all my rifle loads too. Comes out around 12 BHN on a LBT brand tester. No...

was using 92-6-2 alloy. It actually shot decent in a 03 Springfield. Plan to keep the mold and try in other rifles.
Its specs just don't add up easy to something I would expect someone to have had...

Drops .310-.311, 150 grains. So its small for 32-20 and dang heavy for a pistol

Have a puzzling bullet mold. 30 caliber (.310-11) 150 grain Gas Check SWC with dual crimp grooves. Looks like the old Thompson 38-357 SWC. Mold has no markings, no clue who made it, its made of...

There has been discussion of this over on the Rimfire central forums. Several people reported shooting smaller groups with cheap ammo (wildcat, thunderbolt etc) AFTER shooting and seasoning the bore...

+1 on the Commercial 160, I've shot many thousands of handgun bullets using this lube.
Always. and it is the first thing to suggest if someone says they have trouble seating or crimping anything. Do one thing at a time and do it right, then move on.

Would love to hear more about this. I've always been told that Spam was invented by Hormel in Austin MN and was originally called Spiced Ham. Got renamed Spam in 1937 after a contest was held to come...

According to the WD-40 website....Wd-40 contains no fish oil. If you look up the MSDS its says it is largely comprised of Stoddard solvent and plain old Mineral oil. Just like Hoppe's oil, its made...

I've used it but switched to White Labels Commercial Red 160 degree, so I could bulk pack the bullets loose for storage. Both perform well the commercial is slightly less tacky and stores with less...

Switch to White Label's Commercial Red 160 degree. I bulk pack, handgun bullets all year long with this.

Just shot some today for the first time, bought a sizer and that was what was in it. Load was 5 grains Red Dot with a 44 mag-245 grain PB made of W.W. seems okay. Edit to add: Cleaned the gun and...

Sounds like to small a bullet. But also pull one of your bullets after you have loaded it and measure at the base of the bullet, sometimes if you seat the bullet to deep in a 9mm the inside of the...

Interesting, that .408 is using true 40 cal bullets there would be quite a few in the 175-200 grain range but may not standup to the higher velocity's.

Old post I know, but... didn't Paco Kelly make a .40 Paco Straight wildcat that was similar? basically a straight 30-30 case. Would bullet diameter for either, be .410 (enough room?) or would a...
