I'll swing into my local hardware store and pick up a wave washer. The sprue plate screw does have a standard thick lock washer on it that's digging into the plate. That and locktite should do me.
...

I've got a Lyman 452460 that functions fine, except that now the sprew plate/screw keeps coming loose about every 3 or four pours. I suppose that the lock/spring washers are toast.

So, what in...

Orygun,

Yes/no... The 452460 is similar to the the H&G78, (a 68 with two lube grooves), But the 452460 has a fatter shorter nose. The 68's proven shape that allows it to feed in virtually anything...

When this is all said and done.. I might could be interested in an H&G 78 group buy copy mold. It's a 68 style with two lube rings.

I'll be interested to see how accurate these are from an...

Nope.. I wouldn't get rid'a my 'Sporterized' O3A3 for anything. It was grand dads. And word has it, he brought it back with him. The stock was cut before I got it, just forward of the barrel band...

Yeah. Like I'd let the lady of the house clean my bench.. I'd never find anything!:confused: I put things where they belong so I know where they are.

Does your daughter need an uncle with a shooting habbit?

-I'm available.

I got a BBQ for Fathers day. Hmm... Stand and cycle the handle on a new press? Or stand and flip steaks? I'm not...

You confuse me with the 'not harder, but tougher' statement.

Maybe I'll test with this mould a little more. First, I'll go with water quenching fresh pours. I'll pour another lot with a bit more Linotype in the mix. (In my limited experiece with other guns,...

OK, looking for the cause of excessive leading is a good angle.

My bullets are hard. I don't have a hardness tester, but there's a good percentage of linotype in my mix. Over the last several...

I don't have time to cook in the kitchen.

Where can I buy some of this?

I don't have time to cook in the kitchen.

Well, that is one of my concerns. I got the 240gn Lee SWC up to 900+fps without signs of excessive pressure. Leading is terrible though. But I guess I expect that with tumble lube bullets.

The...

OK then, If I reduce the amount of linotype, then quench my fresh hot bullets in "ice-water" or just "tap-water", I could possibly get harder bullets?

I'm looking for a six cavity mould... (aren't we all ;))

But, I have some specifics. For .45acp, I want a 230-240gn TC bullet like this: http://www.leeprecision.com/graphics/bullets/l452230t.gif...

When I pour with a four cavity mould, it only takes 15 minutes or so to get a hundred sitting on a towl. They're still too hot for me to handle bare handed. I bunch up the towel, march straight to...

Well, I don't know that I'm about to go out and buy any more lever guns right now. I do appreciate them. I've got dads ole pre-64 Win94 in 32special that's still a shooter. And I've got, "Mr. Lucky",...

Thanx for all your input. I've emailed Bullshop. We'll see what Dan comes up with.

I've found that the RNhp doesn't glance off the pins as long as they're loaded hot enough. I've also found that...

OK, I've been using a Lyman 452460 four cavity mold for my Bullseye bullets with great success on paper. (200gn SWC)

And a Lee double cavity 230gn RNHP mold with limited success for blasting pins...

Well? But of course! I'm cheap too. And to further that, two Cast BOOLITS members have taken pitty on me and pawned off their unused, unwanted forming, lubricating and sizing devices. Today I...

I'm 43 years young. About ten years ago I got in to a little contest with a friend. I'd welded up a new utility trailer from scrap in my shop. Licensed and rolling it was a good tool for runs to...

All gutted and bleading on my pantleg. Two shots. First one, he down in the gully, broke his spine. I put a .44 slug in him to put him down. My first Whitetail hunt. I thought Blacktail where a bit...

Gawd I wish I lived closer to Idaho!

[smilie=l:

Looks like one of you considerate and generous souls has also emailed me with a very nice mold/die offer.

As stated, quality is relative to price, and for now, I don't mind hitting...

I haven't pour'd any lead in years. I have at hand the old Lee means of dry sizer die in a press. I have some Lee aluminum molds in various handgun calibers. The way I'm familiar with to lube my fine...
