What do you size to, 356?

Bought a Kimber Solo and am wanting to shoot cast boolits in it. Anybody have experience with it? Thinking about the NOE 358121 would that be a good choice?

Thanks for the calculator from me too! A few questions, I mixed pure lead 100 lbs and linotype 20 lbs. The chart shows 10.6 Brinell. I already have this smelted and in ingots.Is that hard enough for...

This is the one I was looking at

I have a dumb question probably- can you shoot a projectile out of a signal cannon or is it just for powder?

Would a 2 cavity be easier to keep the pins hot enough?

I have never tried casting hollow points. How difficult is it to make good hollow points?
Am looking at the Milhec 452374 and the NOE 452. Is one system easier than the other? Crammer or NOE?

looking at a Ruger 9.3, does anybody make a mold for it? What would it need to be sized to?

I found this at

Am I wrong to wonder why they are so cheap? 6.75 each?

Thanks for the info. I was thinking about 150 or 170 grain for plinking. At what point do I need gas checks?
Kevin

Can you shoot 3006 without gas checks? I've never shot cast boolits in a rifle and was wondering if I could save the $$$ gas checks would cost.

Texasflyboy- I went to Harbour Freight today and couldn't find the Thermometer. Can't find it on their internet site either. Do you have a part number for it?
Kevin

Thanks for all the info. I ordered a Cabin tree today. It looks like the best fit for me. I never regretted buying quality, I have however regretted saving money and settling for less.....

I have been buying lead at the local scrap dealer. Sometimes I find ingots. How can I tell if the ingots have zinc in them?

So would it be a good deal to get the Harbor Freight Thermometer and purchase the Auber Instruments probe to it? Is it hard to figure out how to attach it? Is there a Thermometer that already has a...

I found this tester- http://www.buffaloarms.com/browse.cfm/4,5918.html
Would I be better off to spend the extra money for this?
Kevin

Does anybody use the Lee hardness tester? Is it easy to use and is it accurate? Can you test ingots with it of just bullets?
Kevin

Thanks Marc. I PM'ed Murphy with this question and he asked the group for me.....
Thanks for all the responses.

How far do you drive the slug in the barrel? All the way through?
kevin

Would this be a good bullet for a 30-06 or is it too light? I think they expect 155 grains with WW. Don't know if I would ever shoot siliuettes with it, mostly just like to burn powder.

Can I use Chore Boy copper scrubbers?
Kevin

I think I will try the electrolytic when I get time and see how it looks. I'm not set up yet to cast with it. I don't have a set of handles yet.
Thanks again for all the info. I didn't know where...

I agree I should have known better! But somebody went to a lot of trouble buffing a lot of HEAVY rust on the outside of the mold not to say something about it. I will know better next time!
Marc- I...

Thanks for all the good info. I bet I can find something that will work.
Look at item # 260268159023 and tell me if I'm wrong to expect a good mould. I really wanted to get in on group buy 311440...
