I am the first to complain about the modern method of phone communication. Push this button, push this button. I have to compliment Marlin Factory for their fast and professional help in this matter....

Once you score a few thousand wheel weights with a pair of cutters you can be about 99% sure of the difference between lead, steel and zinc. After awhile you don't even have to look at them. Just...

Frosted isn't bad. There is a problem testing 22BHN with WW that were sorted correctly?

A cut down 'Stop Sign" works well!!

After considerable expense, purchasing various targets I now use 8" paper plates out to about 100yds. Just use staples and a marker to draw the appropriate size bulls eye. Easy to write on with your...

I get good results with Black by warming up the boolit to about 140 degrees and then dry coat. Too hot and it will cake, too cold and it will not stick. A bit more sensitive to temperature than the...

I have not had any excessive wear with the PC boolits, however, I did mention awhile back that the HB "Black Color" must have different compounds from the other colors. This is evident when cooking...

I just finished sizing some PC 45 and 45/70 and was very concerned about pushing them thru the sizer as they were all .003 to .005 over due to the PC coat. No lube and the Lee sizer did the job with...

Wish I knew how to show pictures! Range results were excellent. No difference in accuracy from my basic cast or factory. I could only shoot at 50 yds. but my iron site 4" group was about as good as I...

I'm a happy man tonight. Got my boolit sizers and they sized up my 45's and 45/70's perfect. I was really concerned if they could do it because my process did oversize them around .004 but they did...

No doubt about distance. I really enjoy casting and reloading. Hold my own with a rifle but pistol shooting at any thing beyond 50 ft. is out of my league and I think I'm too old to improve. I kind...

I wouldn't argue that factor, however I would assume that the balance point of a bullet depends on it's style, type and overall weight. All will shoot different in a different gun. 4 grains on a 340...

I played around with my drill press and made a jig to securely hold the boolit upside down and inserted a tip of a center punch in my jig and tap the naked bullet down to indent the back of the...

I hang them upside down to let the powder dry without any surface imperfections. They come out great and I'm happy with all the results but I kind of figured that my 1/8" hole x 1/4" deep in the base...

After several days reviewing this Thread and being overwhelmed wit the diversity and ingenuity of the comments, I have to say that I listen better than I talk. I have no problem with Casting but...

New guy! First post. My immediate question is one which seems to be a common discussion. 45/70 hornaday reloads. Short cartridge. Can I reload and crimp a cast boolit if I use the "Lee Factory...
