Onyx,

are you using factory 300 blk brass or converted ?? If converted can I ask was it by you or someone else ? If by you what dies and shell holder did you use. It really looks like a short...

hmm I was given some of the 356-90 bullets to try in 9mm. I noticed that they were to small as cast. The base of the nose measures at .357, but the bottom driving bands we much smaller. It would not...

If stored reasonably correctly you should have no issues . I have powder I bought from smoke at least 4-5 years ago and it still works just fine. I have not taken any crazy precautions. I have it...

Eric I am in PA today it will be home later tonight . Let’s work out a time and I will stop by . I should be able to modify that for you at home on my lathe. I’ll text when I am back home and...

Extreme spread between shots fired and recorded

thanks for posting

I would be interested to see same test with small rifle and small rifle magnum added in still with 9mm

also if you look and read the entire post the auther stated this in another post >

First off, I did not write that !! It was sent to me by a friend.

I have not had a chance to pick up a 357...

I did not read the whole article and maybe I am missing something but he stated this as a bullet point

With this 187 gr. LBT bullet you get 8% to 20% less pressure at the same velocity/output as...

interesting. It has always been my understanding ( and I am no expert so take this for the free information it is) that cast even hard cast required less pressure than jacketed (as evident by...

pretty much same as others. For my action shooting 3 gun and steel challenge I see absolutely no need . I only shoot lead in my pistol in these events. In my rifle right now it is 55 FMJ, but I...

M&P barrels are FNC if I am not mistaken, and I have used lead in them since day one of owning them and never had any issues. What firearm are you shooting and what its the concern with pressure if I...

well looks like I need to buy and stock caps before the great 2021 run on caps !! Hey maybe I can sell them for like $500 a roll !!! :kidding:

Nice work on this. I have seriously been...

agreed with others . the only way I see it possible is with proper tooling and a good lathe. We have hard turned up to about 62 HRC on our Mori Seki and Romi . While on the lathe its best just to...

Thank you I knew I say it somewhere but for the life of me I could not find it. Much appreciated.

It seems most use 2024 for aluminum molds, but what are shops using in the way of brass ?? I thought I saw it on someone's site or an article , but I can not seem to locate it now.

Welcome to the addiction ahh..... I mean hobby. You are now one of us who will save thousands in cost !!!:wink:

I will depart a little from what seems to be common train of thought. I cast for...

ebb,

you want to keep the thermometer immersed in the pot, so that you can see the current temp. No time limit . You will notice as the pot gets lower the heat will rise, so as you see it drift...

Agreed with others. when I started I had muffin pan ingots left over from my melting wheel weights. all fit just fine in both my pots . Lyman Big dipper, and a lee 4-20 pro. I believe I can load...

Did you by chance use HF powder when they all stuck to the aluminum foil ?? If so I had that exact thing happen with some red HF powder . I have used several other brands and colors , but only the HF...

when I started it was a lyman ladle. lee two cavity mold and a two burner coleman camp stove. I got a thermometer and regulated the heat that way . Cast many many a good bullet . I then moved to a...

can you elaborate on this as I have never head this before . Makes sense as all lead shot seems to have arsenic in it.

as you and others typically my squirrels are 22lr , but on occasion I have been know to use 4's and 5s . Typically when I am out pheasant hunting. Same goes for rabbit if one pops up in the field

I have heard that Berreta and Taurus 92 variants all seem to have oversized barrles . I have heard typically in the 0.359" area, so the Beretta running as cast seems correct. If that is the case I...

damn that was a lot of work but cool .

by pressure pouring ex putting the spout on the hole and pouring I feel you are keeping the sprue plate too cool. I use a bottom pour pot as well as a ladle at times. In each technique I make sure...
