Forum: Cast Boolits
When smelting or casting do it outside, in an open garage, under a carport, etc. with a fan blowing past you and your casting pot. Wash your hands afterward before doing anything else.

What humidity level is recommended for safe gun storage? I have a large dehumidifier in a room that I keep most of my firearms in and normally I keep it at 45-50% humidity. In my reloading room,...

To keep my primers dry, I vacuum/heat sealed each 1,000 primer box in heat sealable bags. You could do the same with powder, but just about everything now is in plastic containers where humidity...

Are you casting an alloy or just wheel weight lead? I've never been successful with any 9mm cast load. I always try to keep the pressure below the strength of the lead, but still end up with...

I have a few light 38 spl loads that are very acurate and fun to shoot. The slowest is a Lee TL 358-148gr wadcutter on top of 2.1grs of Trailboss. Straight wheel weight lead lubed with a heavy...

Has anyone come up with a good formula for a hot weather lube that will hold up to higher temps? I live in Florida and have had issues with melting lube at the range.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I've been told that the wall thickness in wadcutter brass is consistent at least 1/2 way down the case so that it doesn't deform the Boolit. After measuring a mixture of standard brass (Star Line,...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I read somewhere that wadcutter brass has a uniform wall thickness further down the wall of the case than standard cases. This makes sense since the objective would be to not to compress the longer...

You're right about the lead, it comes in at 8.0 BNH. Looks like I will need to stay below 10,261psi. I haven't been able to find any load data for a 160 gr with a pressure that low.

I was given two boxes (1,000) of these .358 160gr SWC's marked "dry lube". I was thinking of also tumble lubing them with a light coat of liquid alox or Johnson's Past Wax. Does anyone have any...

I would pick up a Lee hardness tester, a bucket of wheel weighs and start there. Sort out the steel and zink weights, smelt some small ingots and cast your boolits.
Use your hardness tester on...

Sorting through my brother's reloading supplies to sell (coming down with dementia), and came across about 2,000 .358" 158 grn SWC factory cast bullets that were labeled "dry lubed". Anyone know...

I called Smith & Wesson today. They normally charge around $300 to do the job, which could take up to 3 mo to get it back. I may just sell it as is, rather than spend the money on the satin finish....

I see a .358 200gn Lee rifle mould, but not a .360. What would be your starting load behind that? Does anyone have any ballistics on this?
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
Probably not necessary, but I vacuum seal my primers to make sure moisture isn't an issue. I'm sure an open box would probably outlast me.

Would an anti-seize compound work as a good lube for sprue screws and mould pins/guides. I'm talking automotive anti-seize compound.
