These dies are in top shape. They are very lightly used. The set includes a bushing die (marked Bush NK). a body die, and a seating die. I am not familiar with Redding bushing dies so feel free to...

Cleaned '03 barrel last night and got nothing but powder fouling out, as usual. Showed the patches to my wife, who can see colors much better than me, and she thought she could see a faint greenish...

I have been using the shake and bake method of powder coating for 3-4 years with no complaint at all. I only cast for rifles and have taken 2 deer so far with my PC'ed bullets. I do a smash test on...

Yup, kinda like my bubba'ed up old 1917. That chair has a history, too!

One side is 0.025" thinner than the other. I'm ashamed to admit how I found this. Just say that after 30 odd years of reloading, a series of...

Update for those interested:
I found I had very little Acraglass, but went ahead and bedded a thin strip (about 1/4" wide) in a full semicircle just in front of the action. Took it out this...

Well, there's not much I can do if it's a stressed barrel. It certainly isn't worth sending off to be cryogenically treated. At least the cold barrel issue isn't as big a deal with mild cast loads....

Shot it again this morning with full power loads. The cold barrel issue showed up in spades....much more pronounced than with mild cast loads. Pic shows movement after each shot. I only took 5...

I have not shot this rifle so much recently and cannot really remember it pulling the first shot like this before. I plan to take it across the creek in the morning (blessed to have my own 100 yd...

I have a problem that is more of a rifle issue than a boolit issue. My 30 caliber stash was running low, so I went on a casting spree and cast a bunch of my favorites, the Lee 170 FP and RCBS 180 FP....

In an earlier post, I offered to trade my new, unopened box of 7mm Hornady gas checks for the same in 30 cal. Never got any offers for that trade so now I'm going to offer to trade my 7mm checks for...

I have a new unopened box of Hornady 7mm gas checks and would like to trade them for the same in 30 caliber.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks for the responses gentlemen. It seems that I am pretty much in line with most of you. I began casting again about 2 years ago when I got interested in PC'ing. I'd played with casting in the...
Forum: Cast Boolits
When casting bullets for high performance rifle loads, what weight consistency do you shoot for? For instance, I'm casting 30 cal bullets using the 170 gr Lee FP and 180 grain RCBS FP right now. When...

As near as I can tell, this measure is complete and has never been used. I think this black powder model has been discontinued. It operates as smooth as silk. Some of the steel parts have a very...
