This is why I've NEVER updated my ver. 3.9. I've talked to the distributor on the phone and explained that he is way behind in customer support expectations in this age of JIT ("Just In Time")...

Thanks so much, dragon813gt!
I wish it had CFE Pistol, but maybe I'll update for CFE 223 and perhaps the Enduron powders. I have a sad feeling that some of our favorites may go the way of the the...

That's been my experience since I bought Quickload. While looking for a list of currently supported powders today, I ran across this post and thread on the Beartooth Bullets forum. Moderator...

I have Quickload V.3.6. Would someone here be willing to open their newer Ver. 3.9 qloadfw.pro file in Excel or some other spreadsheet proggy and copy and paste the names of the powders here? If you...

If you wish to share the data from a google drive or dropbox, I think you will need one of the programs that allow you map the Internet share to a local drive. I've used such programs in the past,...

Thanks guys! Glad it helped. BTW, I used denatured alcohol and one of those nylon gun cleaning "toothbrushes" to remove the old "paint" and beagling tape residue when I re-did the process for the...

Here's the masked mold. The metal aluminum beagle tape is masked by the blue tape and bullets mask the cavities.

Sounds like beagling isn't for you! For many, it's proven to be a useful (and completely reversible) option. I'm just suggesting a method to solve a problem that sometimes may occur when beagling,...
Forum: Cast Boolits
They are meant to provide venting, but they don't seem to be needed once the mold halves are separated with the beagling tape. (The beagling gap provides sufficient venting.)
Forum: Cast Boolits
By the time you achieve two or more thou of additional width, you are "lapping" more than merely "polishing," if you enlarge a cavity with abrasives. I have lapped mold cavities too. They don't stay...

My good closeup camera has a frozen iris. I unstuck it once before, but guess I need to try again. (It takes about two hours of fussing with very, very tiny parts.) Maybe I'll try a very small amount...

After doing a bit more research ;), I think some people call the undesirable vent line leakage "whiskers."
Forum: Cast Boolits
I'm calling the spikey thin lines of lead that leaks into the vent lines "fingers," as opposed to fins, which are wider. On my beagled RCBS .250-50-RN mold, I tended to get "fingers" near the driving...

I beagled an RCBS .250-50-RN (57902) mold, which drops .251 in pure lead, for my Lothar Walther airgun barrel. With a single .002 layer of aluminum beagling tape on each side of the mold, I...

I've never shot a handgun more powerful than my 480, but I've given the subject of last line bear defense a lot of thought. Such an event is likely to impart permanent hearing loss on the shooter...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Finding this thread got me tinkering with my 480. Well...I don't have time to go shoot it, but I decided to do a few Quickload runs to compare the 480 Ruger to the the 475 Linebaugh using heavy...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Yup--that's how I got a great deal on my 480 SRH! Nearly NIB for $500. The seller said he shot three rounds but his arthritic hands couldn't handle it. From the appearance of the box, and gun, and...

I don't have time to check this forum very often so I'm late to the party with this post. However, I have a 7.5" SRH in 480 Ruger so I'll chime-in. I have a S&W 29-2 44 Mag and wanted more gun for...
Yeah--too bad it didn't sell. Oh well, people buy stuff for the darndest reasons (the movie, Dirty Harry, for example)!
At least its unpopularity allowed me to pick up a pristine and almost new...
I've only shot 100 rounds or so but the bullets aren't creeping with my moderate loads and 393 grain Lee bullets loaded with the Lee set. Still, I'd like to minimize the chance of a malfunction.

Interesting, but I think there's a better test to explore the merits of crimping as an aid to thwart bullet creep. Size two cases and seat two bullets in them--one with a crimp and one without a...
That may be but the crimp must help, right? I bought my S&W M29 from a friend who threw-in a bunch of his reloads with the deal. Sometimes his bullets would back out of the case and tie up the gun,...
I just got my 7-1/2" SRH 6-shooter in 480 Ruger. I got the revolver for carry in griz country and I thought I wanted a Casull, but I sure am happy that I discovered this gun and cartridge. I think...
