+1 on the effectiveness of the Bug A Salt. I live in city limits, and using a firearm on those buggers is out of the question. But seriously, If I could load and shoot my own bug ammo like some of...

I shoot straight COWW, Lee 200 gr swc. on top of 4 gr Bullseye. I think I size them .001 over bore. I do not get any leading to speak of. I think having the correct diameter boolit is very important....

I've got to say, thay Lyman is a beautiful looking boolit. However, I, like so many others, mainly use the lee 200gr SWC. Its a good little boolit. Feeds well, shoots well, and on top of 4.0 gr BE,...

Just picked up 3 buckets unsorted for $15. Grab it while you can boys!

mfrasier, I went thorough the same thing you are going through not very long ago at all. I am also a new caster that started out with the .45 acp. If I have learned anything from the fine people on...

****... looks like my beautiful ragged one hole group was a fluke.. Knew it was too good to be true! still... Turning in pretty consistent 2" groups at 25 yds. I'll take that any day!

With any luck, I'll post a picture of my deer over in the hunting forum soon.

My new deer load. 175 grain NOE RNFP. Alloy is 2 pb to 1 COWW + 2% Sn. Sits on top of 14 gr 2400. Estimated velocity is somewhere in the 1300 fps range out of my 6" SW 28-2. Accuracy is outstanding...

Man... I'm ashamed of myself now. I'm a young(ish) 46 years old, and I have been loading unique in my SW 28-2 .38/357 for as long as I can remember. Imagine...a young guy like me using such an...

I have the same issue, but it's rounded shoulders... but only part of the shoulder. And is is not specific to any particular half of the mould. I have tried quite a few things to correct this, and I...

Thanks for all the info guys! This new mold is a big step up from the Ranch Dogs ans SWCs I'm used to casting! I'll keep at it. My results do get better, sometimes marginally, with each attempt.

I am trying to cast with a NOE 453-230 Large HP mold. I am still getting wrinkly boolits, even after preheating the mold on a hot-plate for 45 min. Of course the pins are keeping the mold from making...

I am expecting, and looking forward to the learning curve. I mean, we do this for fun right? I have been having a blast getting used to my new brass 175gr ranch dog after learning to cast with...

Impressive. I am just learning about tin making boolits "Tougher" without really making them "Harder". So far, I have been relying on the tin in my cow's to do the trick for fill-out, and it works...

Oh... I'm sure I will! I have a brass NOE 359-175 RFN, and it is fantastic. Took a little getting used to because I am new to this, and learned with an aluminum Lee mold. But once I got the hang of...

Sounds nice. I am thinking along the same lines with my alloy. Going to start with a 2-1 ratio of Pure to COWW, and build from there (may need to toss a little Sn into the mix as well). I'm aiming to...

Nevermind... Got my info in maintenance.
Thx

Is that "Boolit Speak" for Pure? Im new here and still catching on.

"Isotope Lead"?

Thanks for the quick replies guys!

I am considering adding this mold to my budding collection. My only concern is the very small bearing surface left on the nose of the boolit after that big .25 Hollow Cavity comes out. Due to the...

You know, it's funny. I used this site as my primary resource for information when I made the decision to buy that particular mold, and push it at that velocity, with that specific powder. And now, I...

Roger that.

Sounds like a plan. I'll keep,you posted. Thanks!
