Ever have a mould that drops bullets with a check shank large enough that checks are a bear to seat square? Tired of shaving lead when seating a check?
Those days are over.
Al over at NOE...

Forum: Gas Checks
That could cause shaving of the check shank.
What is needed is more flare in the check cup. Maybe a tool like this?

ummmm, yes? A 435 at 1800 in a 45-70 isn't something I care to fire from the bench.
Forum: Cast Boolits
A 265 at 1800 fps is a ***** cat. I used 27-29 gr of 2400 with a Dacron fill for those loads. Sub 2 inches at 100 for 5 shots all day long. Shooting 50 from the bench in a single sitting was no...

Hannibal, this is not about besting bjorn or disproving anything he did. He shot some very fine groups and documented them extremely well. I have no reason to believe what he says he did is...

If you get clumps when using BLL then you used WAY too much. Standing them up after tumbling is NOT needed if younuse an appropriate amount.
I use about 50 drops to coat 100 bullets for 44 special-...

Once you get micro lathe and realize what you can make you will want a bigger lathe. That means more expense. You also realize you need more tooling, more expense.
Start down this road and you...

So you are going to buy a lathe to save money?

High velocity is what each person makes of it. Push your personal envelope. See how fast you can get accuracy, your definition, and then see if you can push the envelope farther.

Not much, at least in my opinion.
I have found lube boogers on targets at 100 yards with some lubes. If the lube is still flinging off the bullet 100 yards down range how much do you think it...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I agree Bjorn.
I want to know what others are doing and what they found did or did not work. Sometimes the failures teach us more than the successes. I have had some results in the past the defied...

What happened to posting how YOU do it instead of telling others why they are all wrong?
This thread has taken a wrong turn towards just another HV thread gone bad.

Thanks for the report Bjorn. Nice shooting.
I understand fully shooting the bullets you have on hand, it sucks having to wait weeks for bullets to age enough to feel comfortable that they are...

Hickok, I am gonna be very interested to hear how the powder coating does. And I don't think this thread is going anywhere. Jon will keep a close eye on it.

Ah, but Hickok you will learn more from participation! Grab a rifle and some bullets for it and see what you can do. Don't pull up a chair here, pull up a chair at the shootng bench!

Forum: Cast Boolits
The standard to me is dependant upon the rifle. If the rifle shoots 1.5 inches at 100 with jacketed then I would be very happy with that or even 2 inches with cast over 2K fps.
