The issues with the HF saw are usually due to the user ham fisting the blade through the brass. Take it smooth and easy and it will last through thousands of 5.56 to 300 conversions. Last Saturday...

Nah, was actually trying to find Ed Harris's write up for another fellow reloader and this thread was the first to pop up on my search. I re-read it, and it elicited the same thoughts it did 3 years...

Man, I'm sure glad I kept learning instead of stopping when Wilco said I'd get someone killed. Over 20,000 rounds of cast lead loads have gone down my barrels since I started this thread, and the...

Found a live primer in my dirty pile a couple weeks ago, of course, I found it the hard way, thank god for heeding the long shirt/gloves and goggles advice! Liquid lead really splatters everywhere...

I've been using the 160gr TL Lee mold, LLA'd and shoved through a .314 sizing die with copper Hornady GC's, shooting a 1/2" group at 75 yards in a 1942 sporterized Tula.

www.sgammo.com has 150gr. Soft point brass case ammo for $14.95/20 in 7.62X54R....

I've been picking the same ammo up locally for $17.99/20, IMO, just the brass is worth that price, and the...

Would anyone have the drill bit/die diameters for a .308 gas check maker? I built a check maker but my measurements didn't make par, (DOH!) so I ended up with something that might work in .32...

Thanks for all the responses and info!


Lots of good info, and even more for me to research and work on. While I am abandoning the quest for a Red Dot load, I better understand both what I need...

Wilco, man, I'm here on this forum specifically because I don't fully understand cast boolit reloading, otherwise I wouldn't post the questions that I do. I just can't understand the logic in being...

I'm not really confused, just worked a load up to the point where I decided to put the question in my OP to those more knowledgeable than myself. The 16 grain charges have shown no visible...

Maybe you missed my stupid question comment?

I'm asking questions so I DON'T get someone killed, I haven't been able to find any load data for a Red Dot load other than the Ed Harris rule of...

LOL! I know the story of Billy Dixon's Adobe Wells shot, but I'm still new to cast boolits! I'm used to loading 44.6 grains of Varget behind Sierra Match Kings and achieving 8" and smaller groups at...

Don't you guys get ridiculous bullet drop with lower charges? I'm still learning about cast rifle boolits, but 2-3 feet of drop by 100 yards is a bit too much, maybe I just need to forget about red...

160gr. cast boolit, what is the "do not exceed" rule of thumb? Been using 16gr. and getting decent results, but max load data is pretty much nonexistant.


So what's you guys' opinions? How far...

I have the Accumount brand PE mount for my nugget, even with a well equipped shop at my disposal I almost screwed it up. If I do another one, I'll pay the fifty bucks to have a competent 'smith do it.

Thanks guys!

It is what it is. A couple years ago I got my deer at only 30 yards, but last year my shot was at the upper end of the range, and I need something that makes up a good, consistent...

Last year my deer was shot at 420 yards, about 30' elevation drop, I live in wheat country, and sometimes the only shot you get at a deer is a long one. And this is no iron sight Mosin. It has a PE...

Need some help from those that have been loading cast boolits for their Mooosins. The boolits will be sized at .313 to accommodate my Moooosin's barrel, and gas checked, then tumble lubed with mule...

Thanks guys, I'll be giving this a try when my sizing dies come in.

So, here's the issue I have- I'm not in a position to buy a higher priced lubesizing system, so I'm using what I have- Lee sizing dies.

This is the issue, I need .312 and .313 sizing dies, but...

I had chambering issues with the wife's much newer model 915 at first, it was just a hair tight for the .357 sized boolit, got the .356 sizing die and cleared the issue right up. I wish I could load...

Hi folks!

Noob here chiming in with my first "good" cb load.

My personal carefully worked up non-leading cb hand load for 9mm is as follows, note that these loads are used in wifey and my S&W...
