I have an MP mold that casts 135 grains, I load them with 3.4 grains of WST and have no problems knocking over steel for all of my 3gun shooting, also nice in my PCC but not the sig mpx that is too...

I have done a lot of do it spro jigs for saltwater fluke fishing. That is how I actually found this site while I was looking up alloy questions, then I began casting boolits shortly after that. ...

I was thinking holes may help with heat distribution but I was worried too much may lose some heat. I am not sure how much though? I also thought the flame might burn cleaner and deposit less...

Ok, so with the replies as of now it does not seem necessary, nor would it provide any benefit. I was just trying to get opinions before welding the ring as it would be much easier to perform the...

Before I weld the ring to the bottom of the pot should I drill or cut vent holes to get better flame or heat to the bottom of the pot?

Ok so probably the lowest speed, I think trimming brass with the worlds finest trimmer WFT they recommend a fast rpm but these are two different types of operations.

I have a 12 speed drill press and was wondering what is the best speed to cut my crimped brass, I think any speed would work but is there a speed that will increase life of the cutters or improve the...

Box of ten in wrappers usually sell for maybe 300-325. Not to many selling singles still in paper wrap.

there are several gunsmiths that build them, one I read that is highly rated is Mark at Arizona Response Systems. He also has a dvd on building them yourself. You would need a barrel vise and...

PM sent on the link.

They have an IMBEL logo receiver group buy going on at fal files.com. I am on the list for one. Parts kits are still available an reasonable.

Not sure this is allowed but there is a group buy for 2001 NOS IMBEL LOGO receivers on fal files .com. I am not benefiting from this but am hoping the head honcho gets orders for 100 of these to...

I know they are not mandatory but before i size a few hundred a get to the range and realize they do not chamber i thought it may be good insurance. They are not made for my 7.7 arisaka or nagant...

I am looking to set my sizing die for semi auto use, I see there are versions made by LE Wilson, Lyman, and Dillon. Am I missing any? Also after a bullet is seated can the gauge be used to check...

I have tried vacumn cleaning bags but the best I have yet to use is tyvex from a piece of a shoe cover or suit. I use the FB for saltwater fishing jigs never tried it on boolits.

Great so I will trim after firing and before sizing.
I need to perform a pound casting on these rifles. I was wondering what to subtract so the boolit will release in the chamber. Then there is...

Great i will make this my new approach for cast boolits but not for j words.
Would trim length be affected by this new approach? Meaning if i trim before expanding would this make the brass...

I was wondering if I would benefit from expanding 30-30, 7.7 arisaka, and 7.62x54R as a second step like pistol brass. These shoot boolits a lot fatter than the expander in the full length sizing...

Thanks for the replies, Wondering how a usgi barrel will handle lead compared to the criterion barrel. Is it more prone to leading or if you fi the boolit to the chamber you will have little...

Correct not concerned about value, and Harry posted 1 out of 3 was a better shooter even though they all measure +2. I could save the additional money if it is a confirmed shooter, would like to...

I realize that the special will not gain value because of the criterion barrel and aftermarket wood but I don't really mind as I am a shooter and not a collector. I am leaning towards the special...

I have sheet lead from flashing that is very soft, it is the closest to pure that i have. Also have some very old 4oz sinkers that are soft. I have a .250 steel rod with a 25acp case epoxied on the...

I have read the pound cast sticky and will try it with the bolt actions until i feel that I will not be able to mess up and have a slug lock up my action. I read putting the rod on the floor and...

I have a few rifles i want to start casting for and would like to check a couple measurements before trying different molds and sizers. 2 are military surplus bolt actions, a 91/30 mosin and a 7.7...

I wonder if most people seat and crimp revolver or roll crimps in one operation, what is so different about a taper crimp on an auto loader?
