I have changed internet providers and have a new email address. How do I update my account with my new address and delete the old one?

Thank you.

Has anyone personally loaded heavy cast bullets for .357 Sig? I have some Lyman 358156 gas check bullets sized to .355, and would like to try them in a .357 Sig handgun. The bullets actually weigh...

Thank you but , no. I need both primer rods, small and large.

Thanks, Camper. Yes it does help. I will email them to see if parts are available.

Gentlemen,
I am trying to find who the manufacturer of this priming tool is (I need to order a part). I thought it was Frankfort Arsenal but their rep looked at the picture and said it was not...

I bought a used but excellent condition 4-cavity Lyman mold off EBay and spent the whole afternoon casting bullets. It is supposed to drop .452 diameter 225 grain round nose bullets. In actuality,...

Where I’m from I frequently hear people use the word funeralize, so ingotize sounds perfectly OK to me. :-)

Yes, I meant zinc. Sorry for the error and confusion.

Gentlemen,

For several years I’ve had access to take-off wheel weights form a local tire shop. The owner charges me 30-cents a pound for ALL the take-off weights, which includes those made or...

Thank you, gentlemen. Your inputs have given me confidence.

Gentlemen,
Has anyone here cast .357 bullets for shooting in a 38 Super 1911? I have a Lee 358-125-RF mold and would like to shoot some slightly oversized cast bullets to see if it will improve...

Gentlemen,
I am looking for a mold that will cast .452-.454 bullets weighing about 230 grains for gas checks. I saw where Lyman made one at one time but it's currently out of production. Any...

Gentlemen,

My apologies for taking so long to get back on this. We traveled to west Texas where my son lives last weekend and I was able to bring the gun and ammo back for testing.

The first...

I have not yet pulled a bullet to see the color. The next time my son and visit he will bring the ammo and then I will have it to do further examination. He will also bring the pistol and we will...

Gentlemen,

I came across some 38 special wadcutter ammo that I had reloaded 36 years ago, and when my son fired it he got significant leading in the barrel of his pistol. Back when the ammo was...

I tried to locate some here in NE Texas. Tried Tractor Supply stores and a feed/fertilizer place. None of them ever heard of seed lubricant. Perhaps it's an "up north" thing. So I ordered a jug...

Gentlemen,
FYI, today, after the JB Weld had set up, I drilled .125 holes all the way through the "cuffs," wood, and metal handles, and fashioned rivets from a piece of .125 brazing rod. It was...

Thanks to all for your inputs. You have helped me tremendously. I picked up some JB Weld today and it is setting up right now. Tomorrow I will drill for roll pins.

Gentlemen,
I have a set of Lyman double cavity mold handles that the wood covers are loose. They want to slide off while I am casting. I realize they have thin walls and could easily split if I...

Gentlemen,
Regarding RCBS Lube-a-Matics, are the new ones any better, any worse, or about the same as Lube-a-Matics made 35 years ago. A friend and I share my old one and I am trying to justify...

I have some 158 grain bullets with gas checks that are .001-.002 undersize. They shoot patterns rather than groups and about 25% keyhole at 25 yards. That's been my experience.

Update:

Gentlemen,

After making sure there was no copper fouling residing in the bore, I double coated several bullets with 45/45/10 and that seemed to help on the leading, plus it noticeably...
