I have a Pacific single stage press that I plan to dedicate to probably resizing. Problem, it is missing the clip at the top to retain a shell holder etc.
Where can I get 1 or 2 of these clips. Ram...

RogerDat,
Thank you for the links, if I remember correctly this was given to me by a fellow that own a body shop. Casting a continual learning process.

Thanks for the quick responses guys. I was hoping it was solder pretty sure it was. But had to go to the experts just to be safe. I have a 10 pound Lee pot now I have to figure out how much solder to...

I tried to find out what this is, Glen F's article is good but confusing for someone like me I guess. Could someone identify what I have here. I would appreciate it. Thank you.

This is an excellent read, thank you to all the posters. I have the Lyman 358629 that casts an excellent .359, 214 gr. boolit. I was hoping to see this boolit refered to here. I recently acquired a...

Mine cast at about .358 - .359. I think there are a couple of mold makers that make this style of boolit. A web search should turn up something or ask in the cast boolit section here. You should get...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
I've done multiple stacking. The first two boolits you will want to size down to .357 or .356 to avoid case bulging as much as possible. Even so bulging will probably happen but to a lesser degree....

This guy has been after my chickens, put a stop to that with my Blackhawk and the little 74 gr WC from the Lee group buy. Chickens can rest a little easier now.

Tom,
That should work unfortunately at the entrance to the club is a sign saying "NO RAIL GUNS ALLOWED". Last time one was there it blew the berm away.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks for the quick replies fellas, if I could get a consistent 2,000 to 2,100 fps. I would take that. And Tom I'll work on the mould technique, thank you both. Waco what speed would you suggest?

I have this boolit it is the Lyman 245496 85 gr. Loverin design. I've had this mould and a Mossberg ATR in the .243 cal. for years and have not done anything with either. Our gun club had a 4 gun...
