Ranch Dog came up with his load data by running the numbers through QuickLoad. None of it is actually tested. He picked the powders based on load density. He likes full cases.

I did my Handi a few years ago by hand. Was a piece of cake. I cleaned the chamber real good, colored the rim recess black with a sharpie. Then lubed the reamer liberally with tap and cutting fluid...

On my one nickel plated pistol I used the above mag wheel polish on a felt buffing wheel. Once it was all polished up I cleaned it and put a coating of Johnson’s Paste Wax on it. Been a couple years...

If you can find one, I’ve been pretty happy with my Rossi R92 16” carbine. Shoots everything from 200gr rnfp 44 special level loads up to barn burner 310gr rnfp loads perfectly. It’s got a 1:30 twist...

Gas checks have always been itar controlled.

Well I know w from my experience that I don't "need" to powder coat any of my lever gun loads. My 16" Rossi 357 will shoot the Lee 358-158-RF bevel base lubed over max charges of Lilgun with great...

There's a difference between taking an existing or out of production mold and reproducing (usually improving) the boolits profile in a makers own mold blocks and blatantly ripping off a complete...

I actually shoot the NOE modified version of this gas checked in a Remington 700 Tactical 12" twist and it's very accurate. 38 grains of IMR 4895. Not exactly subsonic but a great load for shooting...

I've used toilet paper with success. However since you're on cast boolits I'm assuming you have .30 caliber cast boolits to use? Just resize load up some cast and have some fun shooting it. Voila...

Lee 358-158-RF fits the bill perfectly. I use it in both 9mm and 38/357. Mine drops from the mold .359 - .360" depending on the alloy but mostly I use clip on wheel weights.

It was a good day for me today! Combined with 3lb RL17, 3 lb HS6, 3 lb Bullseye 2 lb TAC and 1lb of Varget, Green Dot and Red Dot in the last week I've died and gone to heaven! Too bad most...

longshotz, private message "mt chambers" here on the forum. He lives in Saskatchewan and casts and sells many styles of cast boolits. Top notch guy from everything I have heard. I've never purchased...

I see some questions on drying time and speeding it up...I made it exactly as Ben specified at the beginning of this very long thread. I have found that by heating the boolits with a heat gun until...

Here are a couple of slightly better pics of ingots from the NOE mold.

NOE 311-247 GC .311" 666-1 lube and 35gr H4895. Sub 1.5" groups @ 100m. Have not shot anything living with it yet but it smacks steel very hard!

They most certainly are Lee molds, I have one from this exact seller. Works great, casts perfect boolits. I also paid less for mine. He jacked the price up just after I bought one. At that time,...

Make sure the bolts that hold the sprue plate on and the one on the other end that holds the plate down when closed are tight and the wave washers are present as is the little "forcing cone". Also...

.210" on the NOE version.

Hey tomo, another "welcome to the forum!" Trail Boss is a great powder for reduced loads. I've used 15 grains with the Lee 150gr RF without a gas check in my 30-06 with success. runs about 1200fps...

Looks a lot like the RCBS 35-200-RF only with a roll crimp groove.

I do the same, I have the RCBS Cowboy dies in 357 and use the expander for all of my cast 35 caliber loading, 9mm, 38 / 357, 35 Remington, and 358 Winchester. Works great.

Look like .223 to me. I have the 62 gr version of this mold, they're great boolits. I powder coat them the same as the OP and shoot them at starting j-word load levels in my Chinese Type 97 with...

I've seen Hornady .204 Ruger with crimped primers but I don't think I've ever seen factory Hornady Hornet brass so can't comment on it.

I'm a little bit confused. How do you shave a .455 cylinder to use 45 Colt? 45 Colt is much longer than .455. Shaving the cylinder on tjose old revolvers is to make room for thke half moon clips...

Shot 60 rounds of the above load today out of my CX4 carbine. Changed up the load a bit. Water dropped and sized the clip on wheel weight boolits to .3585" and gave them a single coat of BLL. ...
