I got a chance to shoot the 520's over 40gr of Varget. No. Not accurate at all and it felt worse that the single shot 12 with 3" Copper Solids. Thats with the Limbsaver pad on top of the CVA pad. The...

I loaded up a few of the 520's, 40gr Varget, 2.90 oal. I had a Limbsaver butt pad on my slug gun (Mossberg SS1 12 ga really tamed down the 3" mags) I put this over the factory pad on the Scout. We'll...

I did some trading for some 45-70 brass and with it came some Herters and WW 300 Mag case's that were straight wall. 2.5" long with an internal dia. of .458. I'm thinking they were fire formed but...

I was thinking the 520grs would just be a target type load (only have 50 pcs), I figured around 300gr would be the hunting load. The 520's do seem to be cast out of a harder alloy, might just end up...

I water drop everything. I keep a 5gal bucket 3/4 full next to my casting table with a bath towel zip tied to the top. I let 1/2 of the towel hang down in the water to act as a funnel/anti-splash...
Great guy to deal with, a man of his word and in todays market place that means a lot. Thanks again Gabe.
The casting had a high center. I tried the rubber gasket but even tightening the mounting bolts to the point of stripping the lube would leak out at the front. Just couldn't get equal compression of...
update, I milled the mounting surface flat. I'm thinking around .060. The seal plug sticks up a good bit so I'm thinking a plate made to the contour of the base, drill & tap 4 holes around the outer...
That's a good idea on the ring groove in the plate, Thanks Dan
I bought a used 450 off of fleabay. Upon examination of it I noticed the rubber O ring on the seal plug was leaking. I ordered a few O-rings and that seemed to fix the lube leaking. I trie using a...
Great deal on some 45acp brass, will definitely be watching for his postings.
Thanks again Chris

Just got an Ar15 and I'd like to cast for it. At this time I powder coat all my boolits so I figure this would work for the 223/5.56. Is anyone casting the Bator 55gr? It looks like a blunt nose...

If I'm not mistaken, zinc is not magnetic. It is usually marked though.
