Just remember that it is important to use the proper expander when loading over sized bullets.

I picked up some brand new Starline brass in 45 colt years ago. I started measuring it, and the length was all over the place. I decided to size it, and guess what, after sizing they all measured the...

I use NOE expanders in all of the calibers that I load for. I used to use M dies until I measured my 45 colt M die and the expander only measured .448”. I can see using the Lyman dies if you only...

I have been using a PID from Hatch for a few years. I love it! It has worked perfectly, and makes it easy to concentrate on the bullets instead of the temp.

There is a sticky in the alloys section about testing with pencils. It is a very informative read. I believe it to be a reliable check on your Saeco.

Here you go.

I just went through my lead stash, and tested everything with Staedtler artist’s pencils. Some of the lead was smelted by me, so I knew exactly what it was, and some was bought from here. My recently...

My Lyman #4 has titegroup data in 9mm and 38spl.

I will take the last one. Pm incoming!

The last couple that I got, didn’t come with lube either. Maybe he stopped doing it. I put a little bit of 2 stroke oil in the cap, and use a Q tip to apply. Don’t over oil it.

MP molds website has a tips and techniques section with some very helpful information. Personally, I heat cycle them 3-4 times, and scrub with hot water and dawn. I oil the same as you, but I don’t...

I have. Never again. I got delayed ignition on a couple rounds. The primer went off, and then about a second later, the round went off. It was kind of scary. I am very happy using 2400 for that...

Sounds like a winner! Congratulations!

I was just trying to help. I have no idea of your casting experience. Maybe this will help .http://https://www.mp-molds.com/tipstricks/tip-on-easier-release-of-hp-pins/

Like everyone else said, you are not hot enough. I cast these molds at 750-800 degrees. Are you preheating your mold? This is important because it seems that your pins are not hot enough. It takes...

I have a friend that seems to overcrimp everything. I have gifted this friend many cast bullets that were fit to his specific revolvers. He always complained that his gun wouldn’t chamber the loaded...

Another plus for the Redding die is that it doesn’t bulge the case when a heavy crimp is applied.

With the Redding, you can get all the crimp that you want. If you adjust it lightly, it will give what looks very much like a taper crimp. Go in a little farther, and it will give you a good roll...

I am a believer in Redding profile crimp dies for hard hitting big bores in revolvers. I have a 480 Redding crimp die. I will check to see if there is enough extra die to adjust for 475 linebaugh.

If you decide to go with the wood insert grips, realize that there are two different sizes. There are the full size ones, and compact ones.

I setup the 6” for hunting deer. I just couldn’t bring myself to taking a 357. I know it will do the job, but I just couldn’t leave my 45 colt home!

When I had my 6”, I kept the big Hogue finger groove grip on it. It just fit my hand perfectly, and it showed in my shooting. I now have a Lypseys 5” with the stock wood grips. I like those too.

I ordered my mold on Weds. I just recieved it today. That is 5 days. Last Monday, I sent a sfrb to Georgia, from Delaware. It still hasn’t arrived.

I just ordered one from MP yesterday. I will let you all know when it arrives.

When my cousin got out of reloading, he showed up at my door with a truck full of bullets. There was probably 200-300 pounds of old lubed bullets, and many boxes of jacketed bullets, some unopened. I...
