210gr Berger VLD HPBT. Sorry I couldn’t help it.

Hmm I’d be interested to see these. Might work well in my air rifle.

Not to be contrary but living in portland I can assure you that some don’t have access to sun for months and months at a time

Exactly, with the majority pictured being within .1%. This is good enough

Has anyone tried using bees wax on the chore boy and maybe warming barrel to liquefy the wax? It seems to pry under lead on molds better than anything else.
Forum: Cast Boolits
You can clean the top up. If it’s just smeared lead then get it hot and rub some bees wax on it with a tooth pick. Any burrs can be hit with a file or sanded on a surface plate but before doing...
I agree it’s about sprue cool time, but if you want to make your laser gun work on it I find that spraying it with Frankford graphite mold spray makes it read well. Black paint would suffice as...

I can see what you mean, but I realized that material he’s using is some thick solid hardwood, it’s not going to budge, the posts are only there to keep it from ripping off the wall. Nice design.

What makes it different than any other rotary drum type measure?

Wow, write down that load for sure! Interesting method of alloying.

I once bought a 550 and sold it, only to buy it again later. The 550 is not a progressive, it’s a press all unto its own, imo. Not a comparison. It’s worth having for it’s unique scope of use.

I dunno why everyone mentions clamps with this tool, it doesn’t need them at all with a slab of wood that extends under the handle. Maybe I’m missing some virtues of stability but mine seems fully...

I can think of a few other reasons to load them on the light side ;)

FYI the melting point of antimony is 1168°F, and boiling is 3600°F, vapor temp somewhere in between.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I don’t think fumes are an issue as antimony melts at very high temp. It dissolves in lead, not melt. The dust of the solid metal however is very dangerous. So, ventilate accordingly. I’ll admit I...

I’ve had luck with this one. In fact, only Lee mold I’ve ever liked really. Except the 32 cal pistol one I have. Runs a little big...

Be advised that this die can cause problems because it can resize not only the brass but the bullet residing inside, causing accuracy and leading issues. Can also reduce neck tension by spring back....

That’s what I thought too. That giant bearing can’t be cheap. Then again the projected price of 700$ means it can’t be too bad.
