Y'all are missing the purpose of gas checks. It's not to separate the lead from the heat or pressure, but to act as a torque ring. The rifling has to impart many tens of thousands of RPM spin and...

I started loading specifically for 7.5x55 Swiss and have not fired a j-word since. It was a very minimalist set up just those few years ago. Ever since, I've worked on a cohesive firearm philosophy...

4. Danderdude.....hab987 AT gmail DOT com.....One 4 cavity Cramer with large pins

This has taken longer than anticipated (and much longer than the 9mm rerun that was posted at the...

Yep, I noticed that and installed them all correctly. I've tried all pin/slot combinations and tried putting the pins in both sides. Still no luck.

tomme boy, thanks, at least I'm not alone here.

I finally got to try out my new Mihec brass 9mm cramer-style mold yesterday. However, I fiddled with all the pins and couldn't get the thing to close all the way. I ran a few test pours and sure...

I've got the same issue going on, the invoice was sent for €113 but I only wanted a single pin set. It seems I'm either being charged for more pins or those who ordered extras aren't getting charged....

Just take all my money, why don't you...
Put me down for a 4cav cramer with large round pins only. I really really wish there was an option to run it without lube grooves though, even at extra cost....

HF Red is working for me right now. I'm on course to have 1 lb cover about 2500 mixed 9mm and .45 bullets.

Gear:
Applied via HF Electrostatic gun
Bullets stood up on Reynolds Wrap Non-Stick Foil...

Well shoot, put me down for a .357 4c Cramer with large round pins, and I'll have it sent directly to Erik at http://www.hollowpointmold.com/ to remove the lube grooves.

I want to jump on this bandwagon and get my first Mihec mold, but, as a new adopter of powder coating boolits, is there any chance to get one done WITHOUT a lube groove?

I'm a 911 dispatcher in my day job (and working every day until next year) and in the one city of the four in the county without 24/7 animal control units, the officers use their backup guns on...

I may be remembering incorrectly, but in my research I believe I found that those are made for shipping single injections of Molybdenum 99, which decays to Technetium 99 with a very short, and very...

You overheated it. Zinc contamination will actually change the consistency of the melt to something closer to juicy outmeal.

Overheating the melt will cause relatively rapid oxidation of the...

There's no writing at all, and the Lee hardness tester puts it at dead soft unfortunately, as I just found out.

I picked up 540lbs from the local scrapyard yesterday.

Originally I was just picking the best roof flashing and vent pipe covers, since the WW were mostly steel and zinc. I filled up the cart...

I have a new CZ-75BD Police that was giving me fits. The barrel slugged at .356 but I was getting problems with chambering until I realized that the throat of these is only .03" long. Seating the RN...

If you're like me, you'll spend quite a bit to save a little money.

I'm still young, so it's a long-term investment.

I wouldn't feel comfortable putting any kind of acid on aluminum, personally. Hydrochloric and sulfuric eat at the passive aluminum oxide surface, exposing the highly-reactive bare metal to oxygen...

Sir, your wanton display of willful ignorance is embarrassing. Please, PLEASE, for the betterment of yourself and your customers, get educated on the crystallography of lead alloys and the physics of...

Heat treating is a MAJOR part of bullet casting. There are only two ways to control hardness: heat treating and uniform alloying. With tin and antimony each 10X more expensive than lead per pound,...

Yeah, and just write off the $200 entry fee on a maybe? There are enough people on here with HT lube that I shouldn't have to, when all it takes is cooking 5 boolits extra hot. There are also people...

OR the bullet was simply too soft, as a result of annealing.

So I ask again, what happens to Hi-Tek when it's heated to 450F/230C?

Because I believe that 200C anneals away all of the tempering that water dropping adds.

To get that back, especially for rifle boolits, you need to ramp that temperature back up to...
