Personally I haven’t spent the time regrettably to develop a good load for the round even though I’ve got three different molds for 38-55. All molds I have are flat nosed because mine is in a custom...

I believe that my Dillon dies are set up for taper crimp instead of a roll crimp. As has been said before, as long as the bullets are modern diameter451, 452, then you’re good to go. If it older...

Thanks for the info bc I didn’t know that there was a difference and will now keep an eye out to look at that detail next time I buy primers.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Yeah the powder was another concern because I’m seeing that w231 doesn’t fill the case.

Going one by one, I think I’ve had enough of it. I’m probably going to get an extra small bar for my 550, but I’m just wondering what powder tosser you’d recommend for the money to throw for small...

What he^ said. I’m going to have to play with some of my set ups and see how it turns out.
Forum: Cast Boolits
What dies are people using? I have Lee ones and I tried using different kinds of brass and had so many problems. Problems ranged from the shell holder to crimp.

I use the Lyman pro furnace and don’t think I’d have the patience to go to using a ladle.
I recently picked one up and I think it is the best shooter I’ve shot. Tried a couple others, but this one was hitting aluminum cans at 60-70 yards.

I'm ging to have to see if that big ol boolit will work in my krag bolt action, as in if it will fit in the magazine :bigsmyl2:
I was lucky, Dad had a 358242 in both weights and I really liked the 121 in the 9mm. The little one is great in the 380 auto. I had to get my own so when I moved out I could cast my own.
The molds I like for 7.62x39 are 311410 or 311359. These were both for the M1 carbine, but man I can shoot them in either the SKS or the AK. I know it seems that the thinking is heavy slugs but the...

I always like have Dillon equipment because it is in my own backyard ( well a 30 minute drive from Mesa to Scottsdale and I don't have to ship, I can just go by there and see all their toys in the...

What kind of rifle—krag action or a rolling block?
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Brass is very expensive for my 8mm danish krag. I’ve heard that they can be made from 45-70. Has any one tried, and what were the results.

I have come into a Lyman 266305 mold 4 cavity and played with it some and made these...
I'm curious if anyone has cast this slug and loaded in 6.5 Swedish either it. What kind of accuracy should...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I've become lucky( I think) to get my hands on a 4 cavity Lyman 266305. I have to wait until next weekend to get to fire her up. Anyone got this one and loading advice, loads for 6.5 swede and 6.5...

I have one and just shoot cast in it. I've shot jacketed, but it just seemed to be too hot (signs on the empty) plus I get better accuracy from the cast.

Well I will be trying out a load. I am using a lyman 323366 mold with 21.5gr of imr 4227, and federal 215 primer. I'm thinking that it should be a light cast bullet load. I am not going to get to...

Lee 16 is the one for the 7.62x54R, right? If I remember correctly, it seemed too small. I am going to try a lee 18 and see if that one works. This is the only time of year that I don't wish to be...
Forum: Military Rifles
It is a model 89 krag. It has seen better days but I plan to not work it too hard. I tried the Berdan brass in the lee #8 s/h but it was too big, which didn't make sense. I am waiting on a number...

Okay a while back I bought a Danish Krag that is in 8x58RD. I have some factory ammo from Norma. A month ago I stumbled over myself to buy RCBS dies for it for a whole $15. I now have the dies and...
