I always prep the base and check with NOE's GC tools, seat and crimp the check in a Lyman 4500. Then I lube size after that.
I bought one of the later 'updated' versions. I don't shoot it much, preferring to keep it pristine, but it has had no issues.
I've had an SD9VE for at least 10 years now. Nothing but cast through it and have shot maybe 8000 rounds through it. An Apex Tactical trigger/spring kit in it which is nice , along with Truglo...

If you have a metal supply near by, such as Dillon or Alro, they typically have bins of remnant aluminum stock that they sell by weight.

I prefer mine on the edge of frosty. If you are tumble lubing, that is preferred. I use a PID and take note of the temp needed for a given mold to keep the time interval to about 5 seconds from the...

NOE has an H&G clone labeled 454-237-RN-AC4. Great bullet, sized .452 works great in all my 45 autos
I have one. Solid firearm, good double and single action trigger. When I shoot 357 out of it, it is with a 358-158-GC Lee bullet, sized .358, with #2 lube and 14.9 grains 4227. It's no joke.

I have some Hornady 32 Winchester jacketed SP projectiles, 170 grain as I recall, probably 5-7 boxes. They’ve been sitting around a long time. If you have an interest PM me and I can send some...

I have a LNL. As others noted, be smooth in operation and keep the primer track very clean. If you get powder in there, it will start to protest.

I have an Remington R1, Kimber Custom II, RIA and Tisas and have no issue. I believe that is the result of the profile bullet being used. I started with the Lee 452-230-TC, which needed to be seated...
Good stuff, thank you. I have that 36-176P I shoot out of a Terrier. Enjoy shooting that little blaster. Time to get it out.

I have the RCBS turret and it works great. Mine stays setup for small primers and the priming is pretty much flawless. You just need to get it adjusted right for the primer size and keep the track...

That 454-230-RN is a great 45 acp mold in a 1911. HG copy. Love mine.
Subscribed and got first issue today, good articles. That cut down 45 acp S&W is awesome. I’m a snub gun junky and doubt I will recover.

I cast between 705-735 depending on the mold. Bigger heavier bullets put more heat in the mold so the casting temp doesn’t need to be as high. After last pour in the mold I try to keep heat and...
