Between competitions and range time, I figure somewhere around 10,000 per year. Pistol and shotgun

Just to through my 2 cents in, I like AA #5 and Power Pistol for my cast boolit loads. I use Mihec's 125 gr HP and the Lee 105 SWC. Leading has never been an issue. Remember size of boolit to the...

I just bought a lyman 4500. Had a whole bunch of solid carnunba red. Cut them in half with dental floss and then drilled a 3/8" hole in them. works great. Just kept cleaning out out the drill bit and...

Just got back from my local IDPA match. Shot about 130 rounds of 125gr 9 mm HP'S (Mihec's mold) in my PT92AFS. finished my usual middle of the pack

I have the current Mihec 4 cavity BB mold 200 SWC and lubing with carnunba red in my Lyman 4500 and am not having any problems with lubing. It is all about adjusting the depth of seating so you do...

I have this mold in double cavity, one cavity I had hollow pointed by Eric. I load mine to 1.135 and they feed fine in all my 9's except my P6. There I load them to 1.18 in order to chamber. Like the...

Just received an order from Cabela's. Bought some Magtech Large pistol primers, were out of small size. So far so good. Loaded and fired several hundred without any problems

Can't remember the last time I cleaned a primer pocket in my pistol brass.

Way to go Dale. Could not have said it better!

Nice job!!

I have the 92 AFS. It only sees lead. I size mine to .357 and get great results ( especially Mihec's 125 HP).

MY mold does about the same as yours . Mine drop out at 210 grs. Size mine to .452. I have to seat mine to 1.15 to fit properly in my P220, 24/7 Pro and Charles Daly EFS. Never had any leading ever.

Another Thumbs Up for One Shot! Also use it for sizing!
Forum: Cast Boolits
105 SWC here using 3.8grs of Power Pistol. My PPK/S loves them. Never a drop of leading sized to .356
Forum: Cast Boolits
For me it is also the age thing. Do not have the kind of hand strength I use to.
That is why I like the 6 cavity molds,no whacking.

I have a bunch of commercial cast boolits that aren't sized to fit my guns. ( Did not know about slugging then) Don't use them anymore. I always throw a hand full of them in every time I cast, Sure...

I usually get to the range once a week and between 9mm and .45 ACP I shoot about 400 rounds combined.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Just shoot mine too. Like said it only takes a little while to clean the die.

Also a Lefty and also very conservative with my casting expenses. I found a cast iron dutch oven at a garage sale for $5, bought a cheep soup ladle at Walmart, drilled 1/4" hole near the top. Works...

My favorite load with 231 (HP38) is 5.2grs with 200gr cast. Never had any leading in my P220.
