Thanks JonB. I have beeswax so will go with 40-10-50.

I have been given a quantity of candles made from paraffin and was thinking of melting them down and combining 50/50 with petroleum jelly to use as a lubricant. Intended use is for smokeless...

Thanks for the feedback. The dies include decapper/sizer, a seater marked #3 and the #1 sizer mentioned above. Interestingly it will not seat a sized .454 projectile cast from a NOE mould but will...

Really dumb question time. I have bought a set of RCBS part 19005 45AR dies made in 1974. It contains a 45 AR Size #1 die. Is there a #2 size, and if so what is the difference? Can't see anything...

I have often thought of using old cricket bats that were made of willow. Probably not many cricket bats in the US.

Hi Tatume, I had read your experience on sizing to .450 plus have spoken to a few people who shoot muzzle loading target rifles. I would rather have a projectile that is easy to load. Will have to...

I have been reading this thread with interest. I have just acquired a 2 band Parker Hale Volunteer with Rigby rifling with very little use. Hopefully I will get to test it out on the weekend after...

I bought a RCBS forming die to form Win 348 cases into Krops. I found that I still needed to put the formed cases into a Lee 8mm Lebel die and then run them through CH4D 8x56r dies to get them to...

Hi, is there any practical difference between 45 ACP dies and 45 Auto Rim dies apart from the shell holder?

The Easy Melt is being shown as available for delivery from some dealers here in Australia.

Hi, I am thinking about purchasing an RCBS Easy Melt. I would appreciate any feedback from users. I prefer using a ladle.

Hi, are they in Helidon or the general area? I am always going to Toowoomba.

Dumb question time, is the case just held by the jaws of the chuck?

Thanks for the feedback. I will try and track down a 452423 mould.

Hi, it is 45ACP.

I am thinking of getting a S&W Mod 17 in 45ACP. Do these pistols have a particular liking for a specific cast boolit or will any 45ACP cast boolit do the job?

I am a great fan of Paul Matthews, but I am inclined to think that his lubricants may in some instances be better suited to colder climates.

Thanks for the feedback. The person at the store I bought the Dextron from told me that as older vehicles disappear off the road the older type of lubricants will disappear as well. Not sure if...

Hi, I have been making Ed's Red for several years and I love it. Dextron III seems to be getting harder to get here in Australia, is Dextron VI a suitable replacement?

I joined earlier in the week. Shooting postal comps is not viable due to distance but the articles in Fouling Shot are very good.

When using a Lee 10lb electric pot to make Lyman #2, how much sawdust should I use? Do I need to have enough carbon to completely cover the molten alloy and make it airtight or does a spoonful of...

Thanks for the advice. I am going to have an annual mega casting session and cast 6.5, 7 & 8mm plus various .30 and .31's.

I have been given a heap of 60/40 bar solder by a retired plumber. Is there any real need to adjust proportion of solder when substituting 60/40 for 50/50 bar solder when making Lyman #2?

More knowledgeable people than I have stated that 1F is closer in size to the powder used by the British than what 2F is. I have bought some Wano P (better quality than F) to see if this is indeed...

Webster when compiling his dictionary decided to simplify spelling, or so I have been told.
