I'm not beating the snot out of it. Just light taps. I don't/ won't wear gloves when casting. My dead blow works just fine and I see no chance of it bending either.

24oz orange plastic dead-blow hammer. Works great!

I size my bullets to .314 as my barrel slugged at .313. I'm using a Lyman 314299. I wouldn't take much advice from your friend if that's what he told you. It will all depend what your bore dia. is....

I am in need of a .403 sizing die, but can not locate one anywhere. I am hoping that someone on here may have one or know where I may find one. Thanks in advance.

I wish I would have seen this thread earlier. Just bought 4 Wilton plates. Oh well. Might try and resell them, But I won't label them as pewter as the seller did. :(

Recently saw a .375 H&H with a barrel that was .090" out of concentricity at the muzzle. Customer wanted a muzzle break installed. Needless to say, that didn't happen.
We ordered our dies straight from Hornady and it took about 3 months to get them.
It has been announced that they(Springfield) do not have a fix for the problem yet. They are saying it will probably be 8-12 weeks.

Try tumbling them with steel BBs. Makes em purdy!

I think I may get this T53 and cast some stuff up for it. What have yall found to be a good bullet and powder combo for this or an M44?

I shoot a 22-55-FN in a 1-7" AR. Does fine.

We just ran into this where I work. We think its zinc. Had all tell tale signs. Oatmealy texture at lower heat. Had all kinds of rainbow colors as we drained out the pot.

I don't care about the $. I just like having rifles I built.

At what point does the lead get too hard that it becomes brittle?

I try to use just one lube. I'm too lazy to clean out my lubrisizer.

I'm loading a cast 55gr FN RCBS bullet over 18ish grns of RL-7(still working on the right load to get dependable cycling of my bolt). So from the post you referenced, dacron seems to for the bill for...

How do I know if I can or should add some sort of filler to my cases(dacron)? Is there some rule of thumb? If it is determined that I do need it, Should I reduce my charge by the same amount so I...

I figure a '06 loaded with cast will be MUCH lower pressure than surplus 8x57.

We've had four in our shop. 2 in .223 and 2 in .308. Only have one in .308 left. They have a nice weight and feel. I would take a new factory Savage over a new factory Remingtion ANY day of the week!

I'm VERY low on funds right now. I'm not making a lot of money right now. Kinda why I was thinking about going the Mauser route. I can buy a part here and there. Only paid $130 for the rifle to start...
