Shaken bullets with black bbs in old HF red PC.
Specifically a lead 240gr swc in 44mag.
The HF red looks a lot darker than the uncooked PC. Cooked in a convection toaster oven for 20...

Check to make sure you are not locking up the rims against the lower rounds. Rims need to be forward of the lower rounds or they can catch and lock it up from feeding.

27.1 gr H4895. 60% of max load I calculated at 26.4gr. All throws were done by hand and the variance would have been much less than a tenth. After rereading this thread I am thinking of bumping...

I appreciate all the replies.
Primers are the same ones I am using in the full power loads I have and in trailboss loads. No issues there. Powder has had zero issues otherwise. Rifle fires all...

Update. I tried reduced H4895 loads. Loaded up ten. Got to number three fired and stopped. One was a hang fire, one seemed normal and third was a squib with unburied powder left in the case. Not...

30/30 die trick is going to be my go to I think as I need to start reloading for 30/30 anyways. Thanks for the new input, keep it coming!

Bumping an old thread as I just acquired two type 14s and intend on shooting both. Going to get Wolff springs and hopefully find factory ammo but I want to reload at some point. Question is whether...

Thanks again for the great information everyone. I planned on powder coating at some point but wanted to first try what I had available. Since I had the lube sizer, gas checks and mold I figured I...

Thanks. Yes 314299
thanks for the info on the comparisons. I was looking for 303 after 7.7 loads and then referred to 54r loads hoping to get an idea if this data was even available.
I...

I was looking at using the Lyman 200gr in the 7.7 using H4895 and reduced loads. I have used trail boss loads with 150gr jacketed but I already have the mould and some of the 200gr cast, lubed and...

Thanks everyone. C-100V+AN I can look at the front tomorrow and post more details
got it it off easy with a ssr and thermocouple. Too short of a thermocouple and I bought a new one off amazon...
Forum: Casting Equipment
The PID I bought only goes to 400c or 752F. Opinions on whether this will be good enough? Based upon some searches it seems like it should still be ok?
thanks

Thanks for the info everyone, will hopefully slug the bore soon and actually find out what this thing is looking like.
At this point I have 8 lbs of WC844 so I am trying to get a load set up...

I have a ideal mold 314299, which drops a 200 grain bullet if what I was told is correct. I would like to use this mold and size it to .312 for a type 99 Arisaka that I have.
I have access to WC...
I was just given a bunch of casting gear from a friend whose relative no longer uses it. I am not sure of the value of any of it as most of it seems to be pretty old.

I see the brass just staying in one lump and sliding around the curved side of the bucket with no internal vanes. Sine it won't tumble, it won't clean IMO. Hopefully you are looking into some sort...

I know this will peeve a few off. Check out the price a scrapyard will give you for bringing it there. You could get maybe .28 a lb, keep a bunch for yourself and still make a few bucks for gas...

Congrats on finding a 380 Glock, rare fish. Doubt there are may who have specifically loaded for this gun as they are normally only sold to departments and not sold commercially. I assume the same...

Any idea how HP38 will handle full 44 Mag loads? I need to load for a 44 carbine that hates light loads and will not cycle.
I have 5 lbs of HP38 or so and have used it for .40 in plated and...
