For CAS I use a 1860 Henry in .44-40 and 2 Remington NMA 1858 Conversion in .45 Colt. The. 44-40 is my favorite caliber for shooting holy black in a lever action! Yes it is a bit more difficult to...

Reload since 1995, started CAS 2012 and it was the reason to become a caster :-)

Since almost 3 years I am a proud owner of a LNL AP, one and a half year ago I upgraded it with a casefeeder. I am very satisfied with it. Before I bought the LNL AP I've read a lot about the hornady...

Thank you both for your answers. 40-82 hiker, what you said was in my mind as I wrote the post. I also don't want to tempt fate :-)
I bought the Lee .459-405-HB a few months ago for my Sharps, but...

Since last Friday I am a proud owner of a Browning 1886 in .45-70. Yesterday I've cast some Lee .459-405-HB, some of you use this bullet in leverguns. I am a bit in doubt if it is safe to use this...

Since a few months I use the Lee Pro Auto Disk on my Hornady LNL for .357 and .45 Colt CAS loads with Hodgdon Clays and Titegroup and I am very satisfied with it. With Hodgdon H110 it leaks a bit, so...

I use range lead for .357 and .45 Colt CAS loads, for 1 oz Lee slugs for 12 gauge shotgun and also for 360 grain bullets for .454 Casull without any problems. Sometimes I get the range lead (with all...

A few years ago I bought a flue gas thermometer at eBay, it looks similar to the one from RCBS and works fine.

I started casting with a second-hand Nei-mold with 4 cavities, then bought a 6 cavity Lee 358-158-RF for CAS. I like the Lee 6 banger, my wife also does CAS, so I need a lot of bullets :-)

Last year I bought a Lee Pro 4-20, it also comes without a plug. From several dealers the pots are available with a plug, but more expensive! The difference is, the cheaper pot, as I bought, comes...

Work without modifications on a Nei .451-345-PB (#320B) with four cavities. I don't know the age of this mold, bought it used.
