Hi, my name is Gary Patterson. I know nothing about using a lube sizer. Currently I pan lube with a rather soft lube which works fine in my pistol. But it tends to be rather messy. I am wondering if...

Yeah, I was shocked when I found the correct bullet diameter. I have been letting the cylinder and barrel throats size for me. My pan lubing is a different story. My bullets like the soft lube but is...

Something new, something old. But maybe for a different reason. There is lead showing up in the flats of the mould. I don't know why or how to remove it. Well, maybe heat it up, huh? So, now bullets...
Well, today is new and with it comes attempted changes. Usually more productive than getting mad. I started over with trying to duplicate lyman # 2 in order to fill out the mould. Had a problem with...
My Colt New Frontier has good dimensions thanks to a new Gary Reeder barrel that measures 429 matched up to throats at 430 and it shoots very well. I have had problems (keyholing) with bnh 22...
I recently decided to get into casting to save money. Lots of research. I shoot 44 spl since 16 yrs old. Always Keith 429421 bullets bought elsewhere. I love the Mt Baldy bullets at 11 BNH. So, I...
