Just picked up 20 pounds of this extra wiping lead. Does this mean even more tin?

I bought a bunch of it for my open gun. I didn't like that much. So I decided to use it up in my USPSA 9mm for practice. Turns out it works great.
My load is 4.7 under a 125.

Really? I guess it just feels like 30 years. Ha

I have lots of tin. I can tell you that 93*4*3 makes great boolits.

LM owner for 30 years. It makes great ammo, rifle and pistol.
Up'd my ammo usage shooting USPSA and getting older, the LM was getting old. I sprung for a 650.
LM will do the job very well.

With my light DA trigger, it is very sensitive to primers. First of all, with proper seated primers, I've found;
Federal SP and SPM to have the same sensitivity with only 10-15 fps difference. Now...

I was around 33 with Varget and dacron
only notice a 10-15 fps difference in Federal magnum vs regular. Looks like pistol powder burns fast once ignited.

For me, the 311284 mold was best for the M1.
I had better success with the 311299 in the '03A3

I have plenty of tin. I mix up #2, or close to it just because. It cast very easily, almost trouble free. I use it for USPSA pistol loads in 9mm. Shoots nice.

LEE 356-120 works well in all my 9mm and 38 S. It is a little snappy when loaded to make PF. The LEE 356-125 2R only works well in one of my 9's. It is a good plinking boolit and works well in local...

Make sure your mag springs are in correctly. They are designed to keep the back of the case up in the mag. If the spring is turned around you'll get fail to feed problems.

Yes, there will be a step because the case is designed to take a .307-.308 bullet. Yours in larger than that so you get the step. I've sized mine up to .311 and it still works.
You will get your...

I add a little acetone to my swirl container. I then put a top on the container and swirl around until the sides are cleaned off and add it back to my mixture bottle.

Does Black Cherry have metallic in it?

I was curious several years ago. I had some Moly powder from work. I tumbled it on FMJ target bullets. I had a high end AR barrel. I can't remember how many rounds or how long I was shooting but I...

That mold drops a 153 grain boolit for me. Works great
