Thanks guys. I haven't been casting or loading in a while so I have forgotten a lot. If it chambers it's good to go both pistol and rifle.

I was just thinking today (danger danger!!!) I have a since 9mm and .357 are so close in diameter could I use the same boolit in both? I have a lee 358-125-rf that none of my revolvers like very...

I was gifted 100 pre primed .357 mag brass today by a friend. His dad used to reload and had these laying around. The problem is, I don't know what type the primers are. They could be mag primers or...

finished building my new bench,organized bullets and boolits, and sized and decapped 100 9mm brass

This is NOT how I store my primers. I'm not sure what the person who came up with this pic was thinking. This just struck me as so stupid that I had to share.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
So surfing the web looking for space saving tips for small reloading areas I came across one for primers. Storing them in pill bottles. Now I'm all for maximizing every square inch of space but...

I have 4. LCT,LCC single,Lee precision reloader, and a loadmaster. I just retired the loadmaster because I just don't need the volume anymore so into the foot locker it goes. The little, beat to hell...

Love my LCT. Use it for 9mm,.45acp,.38,and .357mag. I retired my loadmaster for my LCT. I just dont need the volume the loadmaster puts out anymore. I also have the LCC single with the lock n load...

4 pro auto disk, (one on each pistol caliber turret head), RCBS Uniflow, Lyman 55. I like the hopper volume of the uniflow but the charge adjustment of the 55.

Loadmaster, LCT, classic cast single, Lee precision reloader single
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Another vote for the LCT. I actually took my faithful loadmaster off my bench and remounted the LCT. Just don't really need the volume that the loadmaster gives me now days.

has anyone tried Steel with the .223 Remington and jacketed bullets?
Forum: Cast Boolits
I use anywhere between 9-13gr blue dot with a 55gr pill in lc brass in my bolt gun. It all depends on what I'm doing. Don't own an AR nor do I really have any interest in getting one. In my .308 I...

I don't shoot all THAT much .357 mag so I am not that concerned with that caliber. It is mainly for the centerfire rifles.
@jmortimer- I apologize for the murkyeness of the last post. I meant load...
Forum: Cast Boolits
That's the thing. There is no published load data for my blue dot loads. Only information I have is from James Calhoon's website and personal correspondence with a gentleman who goes by "seafire" on...

I have a .358 lee push through and 450 die. Works for me
Forum: Cast Boolits
My next question would be as long as the burn rate is very close would it matter if it was a ball or flake or extruded powder? I just can't imagine that it would make that much of a difference.

Hey all. I am getting down to the last of my blue dot. Alliant powder seems to be as easy to get ahold of as hens teeth. Everyone I have talked to says that Hogdgon powders are way easier for them to...

I have found that like tazman my 2 cavity molds like to be run as hot and as fast as I can run them. They also like the cavities coal black
Forum: Cast Boolits
So I failed to go over my process for setting up a mold. This 6x is not a brand new mold at all but I treated it like it was. I scrubbed and cleaned the mold so much you could have eaten off it. Then...

I started to run low on my go to .38 boolit today so I figured why not fire up the pot. I grabbed my new lee 6 cavity mold and had at it. After about an hour I sat down to cull and noticed that there...

For my pistol stuff I use the Pro Auto disk measures. I have a uniflow and a lyman 55 for the rifle stuff. @a pause for the COZ:: I LOVE that dual measure setup!!
