Thank you all again for the info. I understand the affect of crimping has on head space. The taper die that I use holds the boolits tight. I will load a few, shoot one and check the col of the next...

Thank you all for the advice and the clarification of boolits on your forum.

They are sized .452 and are RNFP, the same as the bullets I have been using.

Hello. I accidentally purchased a box of 200 gr .45 (long) colt cast heads to be loaded as acp. I noticed that the cannelure do not exactly match the .45 acp that I have been using. Are the ok to...

I've been having problems with Winchester. Pulled the head off of a dud and noticed green flakes mixed with the powder. Dumped the powder out and nothing was around the rim. These cartridges were Not...
Great idea Waco, but the closest outdoor range is about an hour away from me. Indoor ranges around me won't allow cast due to lead issues. I'll just make up a few each with different powder charges...
Thank you FullTang for the OAL info. I doubled checked and the LSWCs are .358 in diameter. I must have looked at the label indicating the caliber they should be used in and didn't see the fine print...
Hello
I'm looking to load some handgun .357 magnum using 158 gr commercial hard cast LSWC with a diameter of .357 using Hodgdon Universal powder. I reviewed the Hodgdon site and the COL for cast is...

Thank you all for your advice. I was concerned because the OAL was less than the minimum listed for some powder loads. I'm guessing it's because it is not a round nose.

Thanks for the advice. I was told that all molds are not the same. I refer to books listing cast bullets by mold numbers. Since the ones I purchased are made by a local shop and they use their own...

Hello all
I picked one of these up late last week and the construction looks fantastic. I have not been to the range yet but it will be the first gun I shoot when I go.
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I have commercially produced lubed bullets on hand. Does the lube go bad or lose something as time passes?
I went to the range Wednesday and fired the rounds. No problems. Thanks again for the advice.
I plan on just hitting paper with them. The next rounds I load will be lighter based on what everyone has said. Thanks again.
Hello everyone. Your opinion? I just loaded a few rounds of .380 ACP with Reddot on a 95 gr “Super Hard Cast Alloy RN”(locally purchased). I referred to Lee’s 2nd addition and it listed a starting...

Thanks again everyone. Since I'm new to reloading I wanted to start light, but not too light. When loading I was careful and cheacked every other load on the scale. Not hard when I only loaded 10...

Thanks everyone. I only did a few of the 3.5 for a Browning Hi-Power. Hopefully they will cycle. It seems that with 3.5 gr the case is pretty full. Lets see see what happens the first nice day I can...
