Like the title says, I've got two 6.5 Grendels, an AR and a Howa bolt action. Anybody casting and loading for this caliber? Any mold suggestions

I have the 8 cavity NLG version of this, and I also have the 4 cav HP version with lube grooves. The bullet is a great design, it feeds in everything I've tried it in and is wonderfully accurate. I...

I got this mold as well, and it's great. I was expecting this to just me a NLG version of the FN that I have in a hollow point mold, but it's not. I think I like this better than the other one. It's...

Here's the side with the fan switch. You can also see the digital thermocouple reader that I used to check temp

Left side, you can see the PID and...

Thanks for the replies.

I double checked to see if the fan is damaged by finding some pics on the internet on how Black and Decker fans look. Seems like mine is normal. It's a little dirty, but...

Just wanted to make sure I have the right plan here before I go snipping wires and connecting electricity. I want to use my PID to control my convection toaster oven, and I want to wire the...

I had a similar situation when I switched from a Lee classic turret press with RCBS dies and a Lee FCD to a Dillon 550 with Dillon dies. No troubles before the switch, tons after. Turns out I didn't...

I had the same issues years ago when I started shooting cast in my SP01. I still have it periodically when I get a new 9mm, most recently with a Kimber in 9mm. CZs and a lot of other modern made...

I was having a custom scope mount and iron sights installed. Both of which were things he specialized in and made in house. Some of the delay could have been fabrication of the parts, and possibly...

Got the rifle today and it was worth the wait. Smith did an excellent job, and I'm glad I didn't get too impatient and make a nuisance of myself

Thanks for everybody advising patience. Just got a call today that the rifle was ready so I paid and will probably get it in my hands before the week is out.

Not sure where else to post this, but I'm hoping to get some advice from the members here.

I sent off a rifle of mine to get some work done by a reputable gunsmith. He originally quoted me a turn...

I've used the gas check bell setup by NOE, but I can't figure out a good way to get the checks off the piece that bells them easily. Those suckers get stuck on there good

Much better

McMaster Carr has some crazy fast shipping. I ordered these bolts at 2pm yesterday, standard ground, and they got here today. Granted,...

haha, I just went through McMaster. I think I found it. Everything else about the first one was good except the shoulder length, so I just remeasured it and realized I needed a 6mm shoulder length,...

Well, That's not going to work

At least I know it's a 6mm thread, so worse comes to worse I'll just get a 6mm bolt from the big box store and some...

I've got three versions of MPs 9mm Flat point design and I love them all. I've got the 4 cav brass mold for hollow points, an 8 cav lube groove version for volume, and I just got the 8 cav NLG...

I'm thinking its metric, too. Found a handy guide at the boltdepot.com that let me measure a couple places on the bolt I have to figure out what I need. It's got an Allen head instead of a hex head,...

Don't see why not, that doesn't seem too difficult and I wouldn't have as hard a time finding a replacement

It looks like its the same type of bolt that's on my 4 cav MP molds. It does have a sleeve, i just wasn't sure how best to describe it

My screw...

Thanks for all the replies, guys. I've got a screw extraction kit and some left hand cobalt bits coming, so we'll see how that goes.

I did, but MP molds have a screw I've never seen anywhere else. Its got a collar at the top near the head and it looks like the hole in the block was counter sunk so that it could only go so far...

So I was tightening down the sprue plate hinge screw on my MP mold and I must've not been playing close enough attention to what I was doing and snapped the screw off. I'm so mad at myself for such a...

They did, but I tried a batch today at 6 minutes and 30 seconds and they look identical. I may stay with 6:30 just for the extra piece of mind
