I would suggest starting with Saeco and from there going to H&G (if you can find what you want) or Ballisti-Cast same as the H&G in my book. I have one brass Accurate mold that has been very...

Received my 4 cavity 932 mold this morning. Workmanship is excellent, equal to the 607 I purchased several years ago, which has been fully the equivalent of the various H&G molds I use. Well worth...

I have had good luck with Saco's over the years, particularly their 4 cavity molds, if you run a pair of these together you can really put out the lead. I lucked onto an old Saco 8 cavity No. 68...

I never had any trouble with the springs on my 550b powder measure, but one advantage of the linkage is that it is spring loaded at the bottom, and if adjusted correctly, will pull the shell plate up...

I've used the bent wire sharpened to a chisel point for years to check for incipient case head separation. Usually I don't start until a bright ring appears just in front of the case head web. the...

I understand that using a .22 barrel used to be a common practice when the .22 Hornet was being developed, but the barrel is normally softer, and the twist rate slower 1" in 16" or so, and the bore...

I've loaded a lot of cast boolits as well as J-words (but not so many) on a Dillon 550B for the last 20 years or so. No problems with the boolits, but I did wear out a couple of the priming slides...

When I was cowboy action shooting several years ago, I used 4.0 gr of Clays with a 246 gr round nose cast boolit with good results. It burned clean, did not dirty the guns, and most of all, I used...

I have a handful of RWS large rifle primers purchased in the early 70's (250 per box) that are still good. I use them sparingly as they seem to give significantly better accuracy in a couple of my...

I've used a lot of it in .223 and .308. It might be a little fast for the 30-06 except for the lighter -150 gr and under bullets.

Second the recommendation of a Thumler's Tumbler Model B. I have used mine for over 30 years, replaced a number of drive belts and the rollers once. If you check a good hardware store, sometimes...

The Star manual recommends running a lubed boolit through the die every 20 to 25 times as noted. I have found that depending on the hardness (or softness) of the alloy that this may or may not be...

Two cavity, plain base please.

Thanks.

Find a Winchester 9422 - always shot well for me, and at least says "Winchester" on the barrel.

For my two cents worth, nothing beats a Star if you are casting a lot of pistol/revolver boolits. Otherwise, I have always found my SAECO best for seating gas checks and lubing rifle boolits - far...

Sears (Marlin) .22 bolt action with a tubular magazine. It shot shorts, longs and long rifles, and I started out with shorts. 13 th birthday gift, I restocked it in a thumbhole configuration from a...

Recent deal with FWest confirmed he is a good communicator and quick shipper. Good to do business with.

I don't know that it is the best, but I shoot my 6" Diamondback better than my K-22. Same for a 6" Colt Match Target and a Smith 41, although the Smith has a much better trigger. There is just...

Actually there isn't anything wrong with buying reloads as long as you get them cheap enough that you can break them down, throw the powder away and use the primed brass and/or bullets. The problem...

I agree with most of the above posts. My Star is ideal for high volume, non gas-checked sizing and I use the old SAECO for gas checked and other low volume (rifle) boolits. Both are well made and...

crabo,

Many years ago, longer than I care to remember, Dave Budin of Del-Sports, who was importing Kahles scopes into the country recommended that I try the German #1 reticle. This is the triple...

When I have annealed brass in the past, the process left the neck much softer with less neck tension. Particularly if you overheat the brass when you anneal it, it will be very soft. Generally it...

I have used regular steel wool "000" or "0000" for several years to remove stubborn leading from various pistol barrels without any ill effects, ie, scratching the bore or wearing of the rifling. ...

Several times I have had Allen head scope screws "round out" when trying to remove them. Usually not set in that tight to begin with, but with a soft Allen wrench and/or soft head, they will often...
