I have a CZ550FS. It is accurate for a full stocked sporter. The 9.3X62 is just about as big a cartridge as I want to shoot out of a sporter weight rifle and still call it fun. One of these days,...

Me too. The Lee decapper can be purchased separately the last I knew. It is very handy for old arsenal brass with the heavy crimp. The only time I have broken one was when I foolishly tried to pry...

I use the Lee sizing die to size 200 gr. 0.338" non-cast bullets (hope this doesn't offend the cast boolits brotherhood) down to 0.329" more or less to load arsenal duplicate loads. I use Lee's case...

Oger: What weight does your 452423 throw? I have an old ideal mould that throws a .453 or .454 slug weighing 245 grains from range scrap. I have decided to try for a .45 Colt load with it. If I...

Thirteen grains sounds somewhat excessive on a .30 cal. boolit. My 200 - 230 gr boolits typically weigh 3 to 5 or 7 grains, a few go backward a grain or two.

I may, in time, run such a test with my Kimber, before I get too where I can't shoot a good group anymore. I've cast bullets since 1969 and have weighed only a small percentage. I think for most of...

I have been using W231 in my .45's for lo these many years. Right now, it's not on anybody's shelves around here. So I loaded some test rounds with various potential substitutes. All that is by...

I mostly shoot 452374 and the Lee TC 230 gr. thru my Kimber and a new SR1911CMD and try for about 825 fps. I have tried to use 452460 and 452488 in the Ruger, but could not find an OAL that would...

I did the same for my Lee .452 200 RFN. This "screw" system is maybe only marginally better than the old staked pins. I may follow Jaybee's lead and tap for screws sometime.

OK, I messed-up. I thought the question was about the Lee .452-200 RFN instead of a hollowpoint 452374. My bad.

I'm down to 200 Murom No Heavy Metal Large Pistol primers made in Russia. Have had no problems with the other 800. The only thing I can say, is they do require a little more pressure on my RCBS...

Mihec: I recently ordered a Lee 452-200 RFN mould. I have cast a couple batches of bullets, but have not put a lot of them down range, yet. I also have an old Ideal 452374 single cavity of unknown...

I would consider salvaging every thing, except perhaps the primers and loading as is in Federal cases. You may need to determine if the used 209 or 209a primers.

I have a bunch of single cavity Lee's that are mostly for plinking bullets, but I have one or two double cavities that I would really contemplating up-dating the sprue plate. I have just recently...

I would take some emery paper to the shaft of the rod, just enough to roughen it. That might keep it in place a little better. In the instance you get a case with an off center flash hole, it will...

Can't say much different than the consensus, I've used Unique since probably 1967. In the interest of full disclosure, my use now days is mostly restricted to .45 Colt/454190 and case forming, so a...

I apologize in advance if I'm rehashing a topic that has already been worked over. Has anyone tried Lee's 200 gr. cowboy action .45 bullet in a .45 ACP? Any words of wisdom on this combination? ...

Years ago (in fact, the first pistol cartridges I ever loaded), I used the 356402 in a Wehrmacht issued Browning High Power. I don't know what the OAL was, but I believe a great deal of the shoulder...
I haven't been on the site for a while, but I'm trying to catch up. When I bought my Sharps and started banging away with black, I bought a can of Kroil. I is a great preservative. If only they...
