I know. Do you think HP38 or universal would work better than titegroup? I also have those.

What size throat reamer do you think I need for my measurements? 0.357 or 0.358?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Question: If the throat reamer is needed for cast bullets will it mess up the accurcacy of FMJ or JHP bullets? It sounds like a one or the other scenario.

Thanks guys. I will be ordering a 0.357 sizer. I will have to melt some more lead, shake and bake and give another try. If that doesnt work will try reaming great ideas

I slugged the 9mm shield. Two grooves were 0.3550 and one was 0.3555. You would think the 0.356 sized PC bullets would work.

Thanks guys I havent slugged my guns yet. I tried without sizing and couldnt get to fit in the case gague. Using mixed brass, it could be the crimp. Seems to be a tuff round with the taper and crimp....

Anyone have luck with the Lee 356-120-TC in 9mm for shield and ruger 9mm carbine? I worked up powder coated loads with titegroup from 3.3 grains to 3.8 grains. Sized to 0.356 with lee sizer. No...

Alot of oatmeal sluge that kept coming back. Also the alloy was sticking to the pot and mold. What is COWW? My quess was zinc or some other bad metal. Just a bad mix last time I try wheel weights.

I have the same problem. Hand tumble method with airsoft BB's worked great this past winter. I left everything in the container and now it doesnt stick in summer. Thinking too much humidity in the...

I don't think my alloy was too hot I was using a thermometer, unless it went bad. Also normally when the mix gets too hot the color darkens, a rainbow kind of forms on top and you can see some...

No lee Al mold. A brass wire brush with hot water and soap worked. Thanks

Hi I tried a new 9mm mold for the first time. I think my mix had zinc and made a mess. A lot of splatter is stuck in the air groves. Is there a trick to cleaning this mess off the mold? Thanks for...

I seated deeper to 1.015 and it's much better but still not perfect. Just to see what's going on I tried 1.000 and that worked but dont know how much lower than 1.015 should I go. That's the problem...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Yeah I think it's a bulge in the case. Maybe I have to seat more. Not sure. JbinMN Sounds like the situation you mentioned. I dont have these problems using the same bullet in 380. After sizing...

Yes same resistance to case gague as actual barrel.

I just tried a few times and didnt notice any marker removed.

Hi I am using the Lee 356-95-RF for 9mm and the cast reloaded bullet goes all the way in the case gague except the last little bit needs a slight push. Once pushed in the bullets gets stuck but comes...
Ive had my share of black and blue shoulders trying to sight in slug scopes. Shoulder pads help too.
Great info thanks. I see the need for my lead sled and a long string.:bigsmyl2:
I was only able to pick up Universal powder yesterday. Can you please recommend load range data with Universal? Thank you
