Lead wool is used pounded into masonry joints as "chinking" to secure brick roof flashings at the bases of masonry chimneys, sidewalls, etc. One cuts the notches in the masonry for the top-edge lip...

Ah! Well, I humbly apologize. Mis-read the photo you posted it appears. I had the same thing happen with H110 using starting loads with a light-weight cast bullet (~115gr) in 357 mag once. Slow...

Looks like that 45 Colt FCD die used the neck of your case to swage down the base of that bullet. Front part cleared the die, thus engaged the rifling.

Didn't feel like arguing. My point seems to have been missed, and I didn't want to veer the thread off topic. Continue on, sheriff.

I ain't'd met a domestic house cat yet that I didn't reckon better off dead... arrogant, selfish little you-know-whatses. Any making use of 'em for more than sucking up good oxygen I tip my hat to...

Scott -

Will do my best to translate for you. Seems to me he's saying that it drops "a little harder" than he expected. It's a relative comparison without a baseline, but it's not nonsense.

So... looking through the powders I have here, which do not include TrailBoss (unfortunately)...
Add Hodgdon Clays to the list of "doughnut" flake powders. Smaller holes than TrailBoss, and doubt...

I can't say for sure, honestly... didn't even "google it" - although the option is available to anyone. I highly suspect there's a lot of tin and maybe a little bit of antimony in there though.

Well, I'm just north of Detroit across the river... at $0.75/pound I'd be in for 500 bucks (call it 620 pounds, covering your 50# if my juice makes it worth the squeeze).

Seems it would likely...

Don't worry about the attitude some convey here, glassparman.

I believe some kind gentlemen know their stuff, and I do understand that the vast majority of topics brought up here have very likely...

Big fan of PC, I use it myself with great results in the applications I feel it suits best - and I commend your ingenuity!

I dare ask... have you checked to see how those things shoot with a good...

*Nobody* is going to note a belly laugh at the Alliant tech's response??

Frankford Arsenal graphite lube-mold spray. Don't use it in your molds unless they're *REALLY* stubborn. But they make any non-coated metal muffin/bread/baking pan of any sort drop really nice...

Not to be contrary, but that load if anything should be *low* pressure if anything relatively based on the load you're using at 4.0 grains of 231.

FWIW, lower pressure can cause mis-interpreted...

What POWDER are you using?
I had some hiccups regardless of doing things "right" in several 9mm pistols with cast early in. With Titegroup and several other particularly fast powders.

Now before...

By my count the mold he mentioned seems to have 4 cavities. Albeit 2 plain base and two gas-check :bigsmyl2:

Nice suit of armor. My armor is much lighter, yet my boolits look the same.

I got da moves like Jagger...

EDIT: Those are darned pretty boolits. I ain't claiming mine are better, or even...

Agh! Good reminder.

I signed up for the brotherhood of the colored boolit group, a while back now it seems.
I done forgot to check in much since then, humbly. Seems like every time I get the...

Tons of options there...

Unique is always a good bet. Win-231 and Hodgdon HP-38 are the same powder, and great options. TiteGroup would work well. You could also get acceptable loads with...

That testing was done in wetstack. About 5 feet of newspaper - more than needed, but nice to rotate clean stock from the back to the front as things get beat up.

Personally, I would recommend an...

They didn't say jack squat. And they managed to get 55 posts on castboolits alone for nothing. Actually, 56 now.

Sounds like their marketing guy gets a raise, and won. And all of ya's smart...

Never had an opportunity to have met in person, regrettably, but in my relatively short time here I'm glad to have had the opportunity to talk in chat numerous times at least.

Prayers go out to...

Hmmm... interesting. I hadn't considered slugs/buckshot initially. Can't say I use a lot of slugs, and had horrible luck so far in limited play-time with the (cough?) Lee 1oz 12ga keybase slug. Do...

I figured the Lead/Lead-Alloys forum was as or more appropriate as anywhere for the topic...
