you think like me, i was going to ask over here too,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

i am looking to buy an accurate mold for my commercial 8mm sporting rifle. it has a .323 bore i don't really care for GC so i want a plain base boolit. i am looking for accuracy first and killing a...

i do have red dot powder. that will be next on my list to try. i will give that a go in the morning along with 2400, i think what will limit me is the only boolit i have for it is the ones i have...

i have the same gun. i shoot 50% soft lead 50% WW i use beeswax and olive oil mix made into round sticks for my star lube sizer. crayon lube is worthless! if you dig the boolit out of the ground the...

thanks Gary. i think this gun was never fired until i got it about 3 months ago. it came from an estate in NY, a woman bought it from Abercrombie and fitch in 1932 for a birthday present for her...

here is my rifle. it is a 1932 commercial sporting mauser,,,,,,,,,,,,281310

well i really don't know what boolit i have. a man gave me some the other day he bought at a gun show. they weigh about 216gr. flat base no gas check, 4 lube grooves and a round pointed profile. they...

i am 63+, started handloading in 1967 and casting in 1981,,,,,,,,,,,,,

hello all. i have been a member here for about 12 years. although i changed my handle a couple of years ago. i used to be "bowhunter" anyway i look a lot but post little. i have been handloading...

I am 62 in sept. I have been hunting that way all my life. I can't imagine a 2 week season! or split up, bow season, muzzleloader, rifle, ect. up until 2017 we never had deer tags or really a limit!...

a correction, it is actually an old "ideal mold" 358315 you may find a redneck woman or two hunting in camo bikinis but you can be sure they have a redneck husband ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I have two 35 rem. they are both in the original rifles for this caliber. this is my 1933 model 8 it is a very nice clean original gun. it always shot good with RCBS 200gr. FP and IMR 4198 I got a...

the truth is I have been handloading 52 years or so and never thought about the factory using thinner brass for the WC loads. I guess because I never got into loading them heavy. anyway with...

I just ordered 3 Lee FCD dies. a 357 a 44 and a 45 acp for a friend of mine. interested to see how they do,,,,,,,,,,

all good points and questions. the lead is 50% ww 50% pure soft. the bulge comes no matter if hollow end is loaded up or down. I know i still don't have it fixed 100% it is a combination of at least...

well I think I am getting there. this morning I was thinking about what "forrest r" said "Your sizing die is sizing the heck out of those cases"
I went out to the loading room...

today I will seat the boolit out further. I think "forrest r" has a good point, the sizer is sizing the heck out of that brass! and I have been thinking the brass wasn't expanded enough deep inside...

242248 not much to see but here you go. why would a lee factory crimp die help? the brass is mixed but it dose it will any. most is ww brass,,,,,,,,,

as I stated above they were sized on my star at .431,,,,,,,

242242242243242244

this is as bad as they get. .458 at the biggest part of the bulge. about 2 out of 10 is fine and slide right into the chamber. also I have been loading for the 44 sp. and mag....

I have 3 different guns. a ruger bisley flat top. a charter arms "boomer" a smith Wesson model 24-3 it ain't the gun, it happens in them all. the bulge is pronounced in most cases. I just ran across...

taterhead that is the track I am on. I know it is frustrating! I have had it happen in straight walled rifle brass, such as the 444 but they always chamber fine.

it is not a "good thing" when they wont go in the chamber! LOL the boolits are sized correctly .431 and no it is not a heavy crimp causing it. they bulge "to much" even without a crimp. there is...

well I think I need a little help! let me give a little background on me. I have been handloading since 1967 so I am not exactly new to it. I have been casting since 1981 I have been fighting the...

well I cast some today. the mold is a little tricky but I figured it out. the culled boolits came out nice. instead of running them through my star I used a .432 lee tumble lube die. I hand lubed 5...
