I haven’t been back out to the bench yet, it’s been too hot. I did manage to seat one non coated bullet with the seater stem up side down(flat) though. No more ring on the top.
I’ve got some alox...

Thank you for all of the responses. It is too much PC on the ogive. Non PC bullets are .299, after PC they are .306. I looked up nose sizing and think I’ll give it a go. It seems Lee has a .285 that...

I recently bought a Lee 309-150F to cast for my Winchester 94 Canadian centennial.
The bullets are coated and sized at .309. Cases are trimmed. They are crimped at the crimp groove. The OAL is...
I picked up a Seaco 62315 the other day. I got it with some RCBS 30.06 dies.
I was hoping to cast bullets for my 30.30 but it looks like they may be too pointy.
I don’t yet have a .308 or 06 but...

I have 20 with one more on order. Most came in a package deal when I stated casting late last year. I have a few duplicates and some triplicates. I’ve thought of selling some of the ones that I don’t...
Very glad to see this thread. I placed my first order with Al just this past weekend. I couldn’t find any type of delivery or shipping estimates on his site but know he’s busy. My mould did show 5 in...

NOE order placed for a 5 cavity. The Arsenal looked nice also but were out 5-6 weeks.
I hate that I didn’t see that MP before I ordered , as 8 cavity would be awesome.
Thanks everyone for their...

Since missing out on the last three notifications for a 6 cavity Lee mold, I’m gonna look for something else. I want to cast for 9mm pistols. They are all Smith m&ps. I do not need a dual purpose...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Sorry, they were gone by 2am. Hopefully somebody here that was looking for them was able to place an order.

Noticed two versions of the Lee 2 cavity .452 mold available just now at MidSouth.

Mold is Lee TL 356-95 RF. I realize it’s a tumble bullet, I’m only sizing on the 450. Will be powder coating them.
There is no top punch on the charts I’ve seen. Does any one know which one I...

Congratulations! They look good. I’ve just started casting also. Wish I had started sooner.

I was able to snag a 6 cavity 230 from midway a couple weeks ago thanks to a member posting about availability. They do go fast.

Just a heads up as a lot of new guys can’t find molds for 9mm or .380. MidSouth has the Lee 2 cavity 356-95 in stock right now.

I baked up 20 more , but this time for 26 minutes. 6 to bring up bullet temp and 20 to cure. They look about the same and seem to have about the same scratch resistance. I’ll load these and take them...

It was heavy duty foil, but store brand. I did not use a thermometer. It’s a fairly nice oven and I was hoping it would be close enough to at least give it a try. My powder by the pound paperwork...

Wow!! The baking pad is amazing. No more shreds of aluminum foil all over the bench.
Thanks,

First time doing PC. I just swirled them in a number 5 container. I got good coverage .003 . My powder directions called for 400 at 10 minutes which I did. I let them sit on the foil covered pan to...

My six cavity Lee mold and handles will be delivered tomorrow. Another member posted of their availability from Midway just last week. I paid $65 total. I found an RCBS 44-245 KT two cavity for $10...

Thank you, I’ve got a six cavity 45 coming! I’m on a 9mm notify list , but not the 45.

I’m just now getting into casting and the PC stuff. I called over to PBTP today and asked them about the differences in all their formulations. The guy advised me that for my purposes (shake and...
Forum: Cast Boolits
That’s gonna take care of it. I didn’t originally see that one was longer , but when held at eye level I could see the difference. It’s only .014 different on the dial but should do the trick. I will...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I’ve tried multiple other mold haves just on the one side. It’s like the pin is too thick. Can I swap in a pin from another mold. I’ve got some that I will likely never use and they fit the female...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Sorry, it appears to be the alignment pin on mold. Is there a fix?
Thank you,
