What do you mean don't download? I have both 110 and 296.
I'll be starting with a 180 309 Lee and possibly upgrading to a 230gr Lee
Thanks
Forum: Cast Boolits
I do have some H110 so that help.... how much for loading 230gr subs? Is 180gr subs possible with H110?
Thanks

I need to update the OP....yes BOTH will need to be subsonic loads.
Thanks!

I'd like to grab powder for my new 9mm MP 147gr HP mold but I'm also shopping for a 220gr 300 Blackout mold and since I need to buy new powders for both, I'm curious if there are any powders that...
Forum: Cast Boolits
....would it be too much of a curveball to ask if there's a powder that would do subsonic 300blackout to?
Forum: Cast Boolits
I think what I'll do is pull out the containers with all of my powders in them and make a list that I can share so the replies can focus on those. Seems like there's a ton of options, but without...

I can definitely experiment with what I have on hand. Getting more (or finding N320) may be an issue. Last time, my dealer was actually trying to buy some of my stuff back!
Thanks

Like I said, I do have a bunch of different powders. Unfortunately I only have a lot of a few powders. Green Dot and Unique are two of those. And I know I can use Unique for 9mm loads just for the...

Never heard of Silencer Central before. But I googled it and it looks like a store. Where on their site would I find information about cast/bullet powder charge data to make subsonic rounds?

Anyone have experience cranking out subsonic 9mm rounds?
I have a brand new 9mm HP mold from MP and am currently shopping for a suppressor. I'm leaning toward the CSG Mod 9. But I'm curious...

Oh ok, good to know. What temp does that happen at? Last I was told, it took multiple heat/cool cycles to do it's thing. Thanks

When scrubbing, what am I getting off?
Any reason I can't just pop the molds in a toaster oven?
Thanks!

Last month I received my first brass mold (MP 9mm HP). I was told to do heat cycling with it where I heat it up then let it cool down. Anything else I want to do to the Accurate when casting for...

Good to know on both fronts.
What are some good yet economical match grade bullets to look at? Also, are they useful for anything other than punching paper (i.e. defense, hunting, etc.)?
I...

I'm contemplating buying a better quality barrel than came with my one PSA kit. This is because I've thrown a bunch of different parts at the build, so by the time I'm done, the only thing I'll most...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks fo all the replies!
I'll heat the mold up to temp and let cool for a few cycles. I can use my powder-coating toaster oven for that. Then I'll have some bees-wax handy.
Not really...

I clipped all the pins, upper and lower holes. Seems like having a pair of needle nosed pliers nearby would be helpful.

There was one trying to find either a place to live or work it's way into my home earlier last month. Thing was the size of a bird! So I know they are out there. Are they nocturnal? Can they...

Got my MP 147gr hp 9mm brass mold in this week. Can't wait to use it!! It's beautiful and VERY well made!
I've only ever used aluminum molds. Anything to know about brass as far as prep, use,...

I thought about that. Do people still use bug zapper lights?
I remember my parents had one growing up.

You cast in a room? Aren't you worried about the fumes?
Forum: Cast Boolits
On most nights, everyone else is in bed a good three hours or more before I am. I've been giving thought to setting up my Lee pot on the lower patio where there's plenty of light...and start...

I'm a big fan of Gorilla Glue!!! Use it all the time. Never tested it with extreme heat. It holds up?
