Missed you all!

I wanted to brag on Erik over at hollowpointmold.com for a second.

I bought one of his 112 grain Lee 9mm hp conversions a few years ago. I finally hit 100 pounds of cast HP's...

Any chance there is a load on Alliant Reloader 17?

I'll reference that mould As I've suggested having it just in case.

The Lyman casting book is on MY purchase list. He doesn't reload.

Got a buddy that has received a Remington Model 8 in 35 Rem. Here are his questions.

Where can I find brass?
What primers do I need?
What powder is recommended?
Book to load this or a...

I ice-water bath all of my bullets. Out of 6 moulds, I only have one that the bullets it produces really don't perform properly and that could be the result of a bad crimp, too much crimp, seating...

I'll bet. I snagged gas checks and all that he had cast with the mold. I'll try to run a few on a warm day and see how they turn out With wheel weights. i have 1 in 9 and 1 in 7 twist AR's...

I looked and the blurry pictures feom NEI on my tablet weren't helping. I snagged what is claimed to be a 63 grain NEI mold in .224 diameter. it's got some scuffing on top like the sprue plate is...

I picked up crushed walnut and corn cob dirt cheap at a pet store that didnt wnat it on inve tory in 50 pound bags.

How did the AP "feel" when this happened? Was it an old pawl?
Pawls is one item that Hornady suggests keeping on-hand for the AP along with the springs.

Debris or a casing with issues.

Wasn't sure where to put this thread, so here goes.

I am considering pre-loading a 5-gallon bucket of casings with primers and sealing it up. I've seen nitrogen used to push the air out of Mylar...

Had a firearms group on FB that I'm in and decided with Ebola hitting I'd prod those on the fence about prepping. Here's how it went....


I'm ready to start trading my lead for guns, gold, and...

Make sure you raise the keel off the ground and put something under and around the area to catch lead shavings. WEAR EYE PROTECTION!

Once you're done, wire brush the piss out of that chain and...

No doubt! I use an old cast iron grill as an oven and it melts it down pretty quick, more so once some has melted and is in the bottom.

Melted this sucker down last night and OH MY did it stink! It smelled worse than catfish from the muddy Mississippi!

The guy had mounted a nut and bolt to a sawblade and let it all cool in a...

The 75 is awesome! Congrats on finding one in stainless. If memory serves from when I had mine, 135 grain was optimal for those.

You read that right. He had a broadhead mold. I had never seen such a thing. It looked like it would produce some wide and really thin arrow heads.

I had seen the clay molds before, but this...

Like an addict, I asked if he had any more.

Been trying to get the car and tire shops in Licking, Mo to get on board with hoarding for me. The farmers have helped, but they now know I cast and...

Yep, I found what appears to be a skillet poured lead boat anchor. 31 pounds for $15.

I have the RCBS truncated cone, love it! I was weary about feeding problems, but the Glock chews them up without argument in my LWD barrel.

More than lead value for sure if a diver needs them. Lead shot bags bring a premium, bit those are rubber coated a d in good condition.

Yeah, that guy needs to read A LOT more of the bible. His #10 mirrors 'lukewarm christians' as well as the end of days forsaking. Both of which clearly illustrate God only loves believers who open...

A wise member here told me this...

Temp up until frosting of the bullet occurs, then back it off and you will be just right.

If the load was not changed then rule out the human first. The recent group looks distinctly like breathing and hand squeeze.

If handgun round placement varies with velocity you might want to...

These are in rotating use.

Lee .358 flat nose 125 grain
RCBS .356 round nose 124 grain
RCBS .356 conical flat nose 124 grain
Cramer 357 round nose
Lee converted .356 hollow point 112 grain...

I have an old Cramer trio for round nose 9mm a s 38 super. Pretty interesting mould and casts nice rounds for being as old as I am. But I also have RCBS round nose and conical flat nose as well as...
