Where did you get your powder expander die??? I called Dillon and they said they do offer custom expanders.
On a positive note, I did try 4.6gr of Hodgdon Longshot today. It gave excellent...

It seams as though the firing pin combined with a hard primer and a small shoulder is resizing the case in the chamber.

I believe I've used Rem 7-1/2s with out any problems on the past as well.

Yes, and the pockets are uniformed. Winchester primers work great and don't exhibit any the same issues.

It's factory Federal brass head stamped 300 BLK. I've come to the same conclusion as you with regard to the small shoulder and hard primer. I hadn't thought about the brass being too soft though....

The fired case is within the top step of the gauge. The sized casing is pushed back about 0.002". After a failure to fire with the CCI BR-4, the shoulder is pushed back an additional 0.020" on...

This is a bolt action rifle. I didn't put it together. Aditionally fired cases check out good in a headspace gauge.

The bore slugs out at 0.356". The bullet drops from the mold just proud of 0.357" is sized to 0.357" in a lubersizer. I am using Veral Smith's LBT Blue Soft lube.

My bullets are running between a BHN of 14 and 15. Is anyone else using quenched bullets or mixing in linotype? Anyone else believe this mould is a bad design? Universal is showing some promis and I...

Today I adjuste the crime die to eliminate a the swaging that I was experiencing. I tried 3.8 grains of both Bullseye and H. Universal. Both loads produced leading however, the accuracy with bullseye...

I've explored that in the past. I tried the tumbler static method and it was very inconsistent. I would have to read up some more before trying that again. I have to admit that this was before...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I'm going to give that a try next. Along with garym1a2's suggestion of 3.8gr BE. That charge has worked the best for me so far. Perhaps, if I address the swagging problem, everything will come...

I'm using a Dillon taper crimp die on a 650 progressive press.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thank you for all of the responses. I seated a bullet and pulled it. It still measured 0.357" Then I seated and crimped a bullet, then pulled it. It measured 0.355". I'm thinking that this might be...

I'm just trying to get it to shoot lead free. The accuracy has been acceptable. Crimp, might be a problem I will check it to see what it's doing.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I am getting decent accuracy but a lot of leading when using Lee 356-120-TC over 3.8, 4.0, and 4.2 grains of A. Bullseye. The data is coming from Lyman's 4th edition cast bullet book. The bullets are...

Has anyone had any failures to fire using CCI BR-4 or other bench rest primers in a factory chamber? I checked head space before loading the rifle. After pulling the trigger, I checked head space...
I never thought about running the 356-120-TC in 38 special. I may need to give that a try.
I recently purchassed a six hole Lee 9mm mould 356-120-TC. Not only was this my first Lee Mould but it is also my first non-steel mold. The rest of my mounds are Iron made by Cramer, Lyman, Saeco, or...

I received an email about a post that isn't here. The email mentioned excessive headspace as a possible cause. This may indeed be the case. My fired brass measures 1.075" using a comparator. These...

Winchester Small Rifle. The indent looks deeper in the image then it really is. This is a bolt gun, so no ejected swipe.

I am working up a load with Sierra Jacked bullets in a 300 blackout and I am wondering if someone on this sight can help me. This is not a cast bullet but, similar to many cast bullets, I don't have...

I know someone selling a 220 volt Norton Remelter that is approximately 10" deep. Does anyone know anything about these? I did a google search and came up with nothing. I'm thinking about buying this...

This is a Russian. Any idea where I could get a round ball for slugging.
