I have a CH4D swagging tool set. I do not like it because as stated above the only support the case has is with the case rim! If you adjust the swagging die too high you will bend the rim on the...

That is what I am thinking about doing. And, maybe a call to RCBS may render some results also. I do not have the necessary machine tools to make my own but it sounds like an interesting project. Now...

Thanks for the link but that list does not list the mould I have.

I have a Lee C277-135-RF mold. Every Lee cross reference I have found, they are all the same one, does not list this mold for a top punch for either a RCBS or Lyman Luber thingy.

Can anyone here...

Thanks! I have been loading 200 grain truncrated hollow points. Just pulled that data out of my brain. Hornady recommends a starting load of 4.2 grains with a 230 grain cast bullet.

They will be shot in a 1911. Hard lead. The load will be 5.5 +- grains of Titegroup.

Thanks for the answers. I am fairly new to boolit casting and still learning.

I have a Lee 90350 .45 230 grain 6 cavity micro grove mould. I have cast boolits with this mould and I need to know if I need gas checks? I sized the boolits with a Lee .451 resizing setup and...

Got my Lee hardness tester and checked the metal from the guy on Facebook. Turns out it is pure lead. COOL! What a surprise.
And it make beautiful boolits. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I did...

Oh hell, I did not even think about the wonderful EPA regulations on lead. That explains a lot. They probably have to account for the amount of lead they sell an where it goes. That sucks! No wonder...

Found a recycler close to my house that has lead and will sell to an individual. $.85 a pound. The only problem is they have no idea of the composition of the lead. Gonna check them out. I guess my...

I guess we must be protected from ourslves.

I also have call in to Gemtek Recyclers. A few years ago I went to Discount Tire to see if I could buy their lead wheel weights and they told me that...

I just called CMC Metal Recycler in Fort Worth to see how they sold their lead. They told me they sold only to mills and would not sell to individuals. Interesting. Has lead become that much of a...

eBay lead prices are silly money as far as I am concerned. Most of the auctions I see they want over a dollar a pound then you have to pay for shipping. I don't know what to call it so I will just...

OK thanks guys. They guy I bought this lead from told me it was mostly wheel weights but he may have been wrong. My lead harness tester is supposed to be here any day and I wil know more about the...

Well, what I have read makes sense. What I don't understand is why it turned blue while it cooled. As I stated, the lead surface was fine with a little dross on the top when I turn the pot off. A few...

Collet pullers are the cat's meow. They beat the heck out of the hammer. The only down side is they tend to leave a mark on the bullet and sometime they simply cannot get a grip on a bullet and out...

Hey y'all, I am somewhat new to boolit casting and needless to say, I have some questions.

In the past couple of weeks I have sucessfully cast several hundered boolits. Most if them have been OK...
