I just bought an IO AK-47. Slugged the bore and got .3095. I have a SKS with a bore of .313. I plan to reload boolits for both of these guns and wondered if I load for the SKS with .314 sized cast...

hansej04,Thanks for the work on the chart. I have read this whole thread twice and that really pulled things together.

Try warming your bullets before powder coating. I deal with high Humidity and cool temperatures here in North Carolina and have found if I warm the boolits to a feel of very warm before I try to...

thanks for the picture Ole Joe Clarke

this thread is still relevant. I have a 44mag and just got a 357 mag that I want to make snake shot for. Just read the whole post and now have ideas to start with. thanks a lot Geargnasher!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

UPDATE: I stretched the spring in the magazine and now the magazine works much better. I don't know if it will last but I will update after awhile.

On a multi-cavity mold can you use the same bullet to do all the cavities or should you use a bullet that was made in each cavity to leement?

I have a new S&W Bodyguard 380 that works great with the factory 6 rd magazine. I bought a Pro Mag 10 rd Mag for it and I can not get the mag functioning properly. When the mag is loaded the first 4...

I am about to order a NOE HP mold and wondered how well they work? How do the HP pins get out of the way when you open the mold to drop the bullets?

Thank you Swede, I will be trying my first NOE mold.

Is anyone loading 380 auto, with clays powder under a 124 grain RN cast bullet? I just got a bodyguard 380 and would like to try this combination but can not find any load data for it.

Does anyone know if Unique powder is position sensitive in the 223 case. I thought about trying to use unique to try and save some $ on plinking with my AR-15. I thought about 9 gr. with the bator 22.

Loaded about 100, 223's today. I tried the 30-06 expanding pin from the sizing die.Worked like a charm. Just barely touched the cases to the die in the press and it flared it enough(you could not...

thanks for the input. My lee 30-06 FL die is about a year old so it should have the EZ-Xpander. I will be trying to get some loading done early this week and will give it a try.

Thanks guys, I have a 30-06 die set. I will try using the expanding pin from that sizing die and see if that works.

I just started loading 5.56 ammo for my AR-15. I am using the Lee ultimate die set, 223 remington and the lee 22 Bators mold. I am sizing the cast bullets to .224 after powder coating. I use linotype...

The picture is of recovered bullet fragments from 9mm bullets shot at a metal gong at 25 yards.

Bullets are on the middle charge side.

Post #2 from Walter is good information, the only thing I change is using parchment paper in place of non stick foil. I find the bullets do not stick as much to parchment paper. I also use vinyl...

just tried the link, 3-30-14. I'm using firefox and the link is not working. Anyone know if the link is dead or is it just me?

I use the thin vinyl disposable gloves to pick up the bullets and put them on parchment paper. Just pinch a little powder to start and it doesn't remove any PC from the bullets. The parchment paper...

Thanks to everyone for the reply's. I shoot starting loads so I guess the primers will work fine.

Does anyone know how much difference using CCI Magnum small pistol primers instead of CCI small pistol primers would make?
I got home from a gun show and just saw I bought Magnum primers by mistake....
