http://www.hollowpointmold.com Erik will modify your mold to your needs. Nice guy. Perfect work. Quick turn around.
Merit has seemed to have gone the way of the DODO bird. Ebay sellers seem not to know anything about threads. If you find a bolt with the correct thread, you can alwyas use a lathe and drill a center...
NOE has a clone of the 503 he calls "Real Keith" and for a while they were even engraved with Keith's signature. I have one of those and 2 H&G 4 cavity 503s. The bullet is the same.

Are you sure its not Paraffin, it shatters like that.
There was a popular lube for a while with 50% Paraffin and 50% Vaseline then some one improved it with 50% Beeswax and 50% Vaseline. Could be...

A few years ago, Ranch Dog had a Utube video about lubing with his "Ben's Liquid Lube" Does anyone have the link for that. I know how, but I wanted my son to see it,, he never heard of Ben's LL or...

Try just washing the hopper with your dishes and let it dry with out rinsing. Works for me! No more clingons :>)

I finally got around to casting the NOE 190gr RD bullet for the 35 Remington. So far the most accurate, but not the fastest is 27gr of Reloader 7. How about giving me your favorite load for this...

The best thing about Ben's LL is the first shot out of a clean barrel it will be VERY close to the rest of a group.

If you can, buy an RCBS rather than a Lyman. I wore a Lyman 4500 out in 2 years sizing my cowboy bullets. There is a lot more surface area on the ram of the RCBS. Also as my instructions that came...

Keep the pivot pin area lubed. I completely wore mine out in 1 year only using it to decap pistol brass during cowboy action matches. Black powder of course!

My PID works fine and was a good investment, I was just interested in buying a new temp probe/sensor incase mine burns out. I hear that happens.
Forum: Casting Equipment
I bought a plug and play PID on Ebay a year or so ago. It works great, but I would like to contact the fellow who made it. I have the information/instruction sheet but the only clue as to who wrote...

Thanks, I was thinking of making some brass about .020 longer, full length of the elevator. Maybe that's not a good idea. I'll study it some more tomorrow, plenty of time while the snow is falling....

Just for the heck of it I looked on you tube under 1876. I watched one fellow who made a big deal of pushing the last loaded round to the left after it was in the magazine tube. I tried it. darned if...
I had a beloved H&G 4 cavity for a #51 GC, it was extremely accurate out of my M27 S&W. I stupidly sold it. I missed, it so when I ran across a 6 cavity for the same bullet I bought it. I couldn't...

Maybe, but no smell, no turning to liquid doesn't look bad either. Crisco is now non animal fat. I was thinking more about the lanolin? I guess I could just throw the whole batch out???

I've been using Emmerts lube for years in my Schuetzen rifle (32 Miller Short). Just last year (2017) I went to a match in October where it was quite cool (45-50) and I had a heck of a time with the...

I put a small rub of Imperial Sizing Die Wax on bullets that you want lube all over, AKA Black Powder Cartridge, then I pan lube those.
I do the same when I use Ben's LL as I want lube on the drive...

I've been reading through some old Black Powder Cartridge Silhouette books and they mention DropKick Bullet Lube. What was it and who made it?
